    When Sean “Diddy” Combs was taken into custody, Homeland Security uncovered baby oil, pink ketamine, and $9,000 from his hotel room.

    Shocking images have come to the fore during the federal trial of disgraced US rapper Sean Diddy Combs, showing him preparing for "freak offs" at the Park Hyatt Hotel in Midtown Manhattan. A federal agent testified Friday about how disgraced hip hop mogul Sean “Diddy” Combs had baby oil, lubricant, drugs and cash stashed all over the New York City hotel room where he stayed to negotiate his surrender last year, reported New York Post.

    In September last year, the agents raided room 2115 at the hotel after Sean Diddy Combs was arrested that day. The officials were shocked to find bags of Astroglide lubricant and baby oil inside the entryway closet of the room, said Department of Homeland Security Special Agent Yasin Binda.

    The feds also found more lube in the bathtub and in the nightstand of the room, according to testimony from Binda and photos shown to the jury.

    What was found from Sean Diddy's room?

    When Sean “Diddy” Combs was taken into custody, Homeland Security uncovered baby oil, pink ketamine, and $9,000 from his hotel room. Amid his ongoing sex trafficking trial, the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York (SDNY) presented photos from Combs’ suite at the Park Hyatt New York on Monday, Sept. 16.

    Combs was taken into custody at the hotel on charges of sex trafficking, racketeering and transportation to engage in prostitution, which he has adamantly denied.

    During the trial on Friday, May 16, Homeland Security presented photos showing what they allegedly found in the room, following Combs' arrest. Special Agent Yasin Binda, who documented the evidence, testified that one of the hallway bags in the hotel room closet contained a Ziploc bag of Johnson's baby oil and another of Astroglide lubricant.

    Binda further testified that, along with a hard drive, a "lighting device" was used to create "mood lighting" in the living room, and multiple bottles of baby oil were found in the bathroom.


    Drugs, mystery powder found

    Similar pink “mystery powders” linked to dangerous Venezuelans and reportedly loved by Diddy have recently blown through New York City’s illicit drug scene, law enforcement sources have said.

    A synthetic drug, known in some circles as “tusi,” has popped up in a growing number of recent narcotics busts, the sources said last year.

    Homeland Security also found an iPhone, a Louis Vuitton bag with a bottle of medication prescribed to a "Frank Black," and two bottles of lubricant on a nightstand in the bedroom. Several additional photos of oil and lubricant were later presented.

    The bottle of medication, which was from Walgreens, had a label for Clonazepam, which is used "alone or together with other medicines to treat certain seizure disorders," per the Mayo Clinic. It can also be used to treat panic disorder.

    According to Binda's testimony, the medication bottle contained two bags of a pink powder. Testing revealed that one bag contained ketamine, while the other tested positive for both MDMA and ketamine. Both samples were circulated among the jury for examination.

    The feds also found $9,000 cash in a black fanny pack inside the room,” said Binda, who was part of a law-enforcement team that entered the room with a search warrant.

    During Binda’s testimony, Combs put his hand on his forehead and patted his head while he spoke to his lawyers. Combs, 55, had been in New York City to negotiate his surrender during a federal sex-trafficking investigation in September 2024 when agents raided his hotel room.

    The fallen hip hop star had traveled to the Big Apple in anticipation of his arrest on federal charges stemming from a grand jury indictment, prosecutors and sources said at the time. On Thursday, lawyers grilled Combs’ ex-girlfriend, Cassie Ventura, about a claim that the Bad Boys Records founder doused one victim with lubricant that was mixed with Rohypnol – or GHB – before a vicious assault.

    She told the jury Wednesday that Combs once filled an inflatable pool with bottles of baby oil and other lubricants for a hotel-room “freak-off.”
