Video of Sean 'Diddy' Combs telling partygoers to 'make sure you lotioned up' resurfaces amid arrest
NEW YORK CITY, NEW YORK: A video featuring Sean "Diddy" Combs advising party attendees to stay "lotioned up" has re-emerged following the music mogul's arrest on charges of sex trafficking and racketeering.
The video, originating from a 2022 gathering at Diddy's residence in Los Angeles, was acquired by TMZ on Thursday, October 3. In the footage, Diddy is also seen hosting and advising the audience to make sure "your breath is fresh".

Diddy’s party advice resurfaces amidst legal troubles
"Ayo, everybody, make sure your breath is fresh [...] make sure you lotioned up," he instructed the guests.
As Donell Jones' R&B hit 'U Know What's Up' played, he also told those who were smoking weed to "get the Listerine strips, B." Then he exhorted the women to take over the dance floor.
The re-emerged video has attracted attention due to Diddy's ongoing legal issues, The Tribune reported.
The founder of Bad Boy has been charged by federal prosecutors with organizing so-called "freak offs." Video footage and more than a thousand baby oil bottles that were found during raids on his residences earlier this year are purportedly evidence.
Marc Agnifilo, Diddy's lawyer, attempted to justify his client's enormous supply of baby oil by stating, "He has a big house, he buys in bulk."
Costco has refuted claims asserted by the attorney concerning the bulk purchase of baby oil from their outlets.
50 Cent, known for his longstanding rivalry with Diddy, stoked the flames by ridiculing the recent revelations through social media posts.
Following the breaking news, 50 Cent uploaded a photo on X accompanied by a jesting caption: "Here I am keeping good company with @DrewBarrymoreTV and I don’t have 1,000 bottles of lube at the house"

Although Diddy has not directly responded to the baby oil allegations, he has refuted any criminal misconduct and entered a plea of not guilty to the charges.
