Sean Diddy Combs lawyers explains why rapper had 1000 baby oils

Sean “Diddy” Combs lawyer explains why the rapper had bottles of lubricants and oil at his house. During raids from Homeland Security, the rapper’s abode was filled with 1000 bottles of baby oil. While the revelation has raised eyebrows in media, Diddy’s solicitor, Marc Agnifilo, is answering questions.

“I don’t know where the number a thousand came [from] … I can’t imagine it’s thousands. I’m not really sure what the baby oil has to do with anything,” he told TMZ.

In the new documentary titled “The Downfall of Diddy: The Indictment,” the lawyer reveals his client might have used “lubricant for an orgy,” Agnifilo said, “I guess. I don’t know what you need a thousand — one bottle of baby oil goes a long way.”

“I mean, he has a big house. He buys in bulk, you know,” he said.

Speaking with TMZ founder Harvey Levin, Agnifilio justified: “I think they have Costcos in every place where he has a home. Have you sat in the parking lot of a Costco and see what people walk out of there with?” Not a thousand bottles of baby oil,” Levin, 74, pushed back.

Gospel star Ayanda Ntanzi disappointed in Kabza De Small

Gospel star Ayanda Ntanzi is disappointed in Kabza De Small for allegedly remixing his song Spirit Of Praise without permission. I wasn’t aware of the remix but people started calling me that I’ve collaborated with Kabza De Small and I was surprised as I know nothing of a collab I did with him.

Kabza De Small

The gospel artist said the remix sounds nice but he’s not happy with the disrespect from the King of Amapiano. Going on YouTube I found the remix song. I must say it doesn’t sound bad. I’d have appreciated it if he had the courtesy to ask permission before doing it,”he said.

Kabza De Small

“My team has since reached out to Kabza’s camp for clarity on moving forward but we haven’t received any reply. It’s about respect, it’s about courtesy, and it’s about good musicianship.

“I would have appreciated him reaching out to me before, rather than seeing myself on the trending list, and I wouldn’t have said no. I did a remix with DJ Cleo before and I agreed to work with him.

Iran ready to end nuclear standoff with West

0

Iran is ready to end its nuclear standoff with the West, Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian told the United Nations General Assembly on Tuesday, while calling for an end to Russia’s war in Ukraine through dialogue. Pezeshkian criticised Iran’s arch-foe Israel for what he called “its genocide in Gaza” and said it should stop immediately.

Iran’s leaders hope to see an easing of US sanctions over its nuclear programme. But relations with the West have worsened since Hamas attacked southern Israel on October 7 and as Tehran has increased its support for Russia’s war in Ukraine.

“We seek peace for all and have no intention of conflict with any country … Iran opposes war and emphasises the need for an immediate cessation of military conflict in Ukraine,” Pezeshkian said.

Kim Kardashian paid a visit to Erik and Lyle Menendez days after Ryan Murphy’s latest installment in the Monster anthology series premiered. On Saturday Kardashian, 43, and Cooper Koch, who plays Erik in the Netflix series, spent some time in San Diego at the Richard J. Donovan Correctional Facility, where both the Menendez brothers have been incarcerated since they were sentenced to life in prison in 1996 for the murder of their parents.

Kardashian and Koch, 28, were there to chat with the brothers about the Green Space project, which the California Department of Corrections & Rehabilitation is spearheading in an effort to combat high recidivism rates by making life in prison more closely resemble the outside world.

Kim Kardashian

Kardashian has been advocating for prison reform since 2018 and has been studying to become a lawyer. The reality star helped Alice Johnson get released from a life sentence after reading about her story on X (formerly known as Twitter) in October 2017. In May 2019, she helped negotiate the release of another low-level drug offender from prison and met with then-imprisoned Slam star Momolu Stewart, who was convicted of murder and served 22 years in prison.

The SKMIS founder has visited the White House multiple times to discuss prison reform, recently participating in a roundtable discussion with Vice President Kamala Harris on the subject in April. Kardashian met up with Gypsy Rose Blanchard, who was released from prison in December 2023 after serving more than eight years, in a July episode of The Kardashians to talk about changes that could be made to the legal system and how Blanchard, 33, could be influential in that space.

Nomzamo Mbatha has recently found herself at the center of controversy after referring to Durban as “a small town” during a conversation with Americans. The South African actress and philanthropist, known for her international success, made the comment while discussing her roots in an interview.

The statement sparked a backlash on social media, with many South Africans expressing their disappointment. Critics argued that her description undermines the significance and cultural richness of Durban, which is one of South Africa’s largest and most vibrant cities.
