According to E News, on seizing of 1,000 bottles of baby oil from the hip-hop star's home, the lawyer said that he was not really sure what the baby oil has to do with anything.
“I don't know what you need 1,000-one bottle of baby oil goes a long way. I don't know what you'd even need 1,000 for.”

Combs, who was arrested in New York on September 16, faces charges that could put him in prison for at least 15 years if he is convicted on all counts.
