Rapper 50 Cent has taken a jab at Sean 'Diddy' Combs after a recent indictment revealed that 1,000 bottles of baby oil were seized by authorities from his home.
On Monday evening (September 16), the rapper and record producer was arrested in the lobby of the Park Hyatt Hotel in Manhattan. At the time of his arrest, it was made public that a grand jury indicted him, though the charges weren't clear.
The indictment has since been unsealed this morning and revealed that Combs has been accused of having 'abused, threatened, and coerced women and other around him to fulfill his sexual desires, protect his reputation, and conceal his conduct,' along with using 'employees, resources, and influence of the multi-faceted business empire that he led and controlled' to 'attempt to engage in, among other crimes, sex trafficking, forced labor, kidnapping, arson, bribery, and obstruction of justice.'

The indictment further described the abuse toward 'women and other individuals' as a combination of 'verbal, emotional, physical, and sexual.' It also revealed that a federal grand jury charged Combs with racketeering and sex trafficking by force yesterday evening, along with charges of fraud or coercion.
Another detail the indictment reveals, is that among the supplies seized by authorities during a raid on Combs' homes earlier this year, were 1,000 bottles of baby oil.
Rapper 50 Cent, whose real name is Curtis James Jackson III, has been trolling Combs over the past few months and most recently took a jab at the alleged bottles of baby oil found in one of his homes.
"Here I am keeping good company with @/DrewBarrymoreTV and I don't have 1,000 bottles of lube at the house," 50 Cent wrote on Twitter.
The 'Candy Shop' rapper previously took a dig at Combs in March after agents from Homeland Security Investigations raided properties located in Los Angeles and Miami that allegedly belonged to the rapper.
50 Cent took to his Instagram and posted, "Now it's not Diddy do it, it's Diddy done," along with a shrugging emoji.
"They don't come like that unless they got a case," he added.

In response to news of Combs' arrest, his attorney Marc Agnifilo told UNILAD: "We are disappointed with the decision to pursue what we believe is an unjust prosecution of Mr. Combs by the U.S. Attorney’s Office.
"Sean 'Diddy' Combs is a music icon, self-made entrepreneur, loving family man, and proven philanthropist who has spent the last 30 years building an empire, adoring his children, and working to uplift the Black community. He is an imperfect person, but he is not a criminal.
"To his credit Mr. Combs has been nothing but cooperative with this investigation and he voluntarily relocated to New York last week in anticipation of these charges.
"These are the acts of an innocent man with nothing to hide, and he looks forward to clearing his name in court."
