This week, Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs was issued verdicts on all five of the charges laid before him, with his supporters celebrating what they took as a win outside the courtroom.
After a long eight-week trial, over 30 witnesses, and testimony from some of Diddy’s ex-girlfriends, he was found not guilty on one count of racketeering conspiracy, not guilty on the sex trafficking of Cassie Ventura, and not guilty of sex trafficking Jane Doe. He was found guilty on both charges of transportation for prostitution.
Supporters of Diddy had been situated outside of the New York City courthouse for most of the hearing, and upon learning of the verdict, they celebrated in what one person called “the final gut punch” of the highly publicised trial. In footage originally posted to Twitter by NBC reporter Matt Lavietes, a group of largely women could be seen dancing around a man in a full suit and matching fedora. The man, identified as Tes Harper, squirted baby oil on them as they twerked, danced, and cheered to the court’s verdict.

“I’m happy he beat the RICO charge. I’m happy he is going home to his family,” Tes Harper told The New York Post. “It was a case of two trials going on simultaneously. One was with the evidence, and the other was what the prosecution was alleging.”
As we know, the baby oil gag was a reference to when the FBI raided Diddy’s LA mansion and found hundreds of baby oil bottles. The lubricant was allegedly used during Diddy’s infamous “freak off” parties, which his ex, Cassie, described in excruciating detail during the trial.
People have been reacting to Diddy’s baby oil covered supporters
The video of Diddy’s supporters drenched in baby oil has gone viral, amassing nearly 17 million views on Twitter alone. It has since been shared to all four corners of the internet, accumulating even more views as people react in the comments.
One person wrote: “It’s not that everybody can’t be saved, but things like this let me know that everybody WON’T be saved.”
“I wonder if they’d still be dancing if it was their daughter that was trafficked for sex and beaten, stepped on and kicked on camera,” another wrote.
Someone else wrote: “There isn’t a slur in existence that would fully describe how f*cking disgraceful and disgusting these people are.”
Diddy was denied bail before sentencing and is currently awaiting next steps in New York.
