In a raid on the Miami and Los Angeles mansions of Sean “Diddy” Combs earlier this year, law enforcement officials confiscated narcotics and more than 1,000 bottles of baby oil and lubricant. Officials allege that the drugs and baby oil were used during his “freak off” orgy sessions, which he forced women to join.

Officials made the claims public one day after arresting Diddy in Manhattan. Currently, Diddy is trying to post bail and has offered $50 million — his mansion on Miami’s Star Island (worth $48 million) and his mother’s Miami home ($2 million).

The multimillionaire’s most recent troubles stem from an ongoing lawsuit alleging sexual assault and abuse filed by singer and his former girlfriend Cassie Ventura, which led to significant media attention.

These incidents reflect a mix of criminal, civil, and personal disputes that have involved Diddy, illustrating the complexities and challenges he has navigated throughout his career.
