A group of supporters drenched themselves in baby oil to celebrate Diddy's acquittal on sex trafficking and racketeering charges in his trial.

Outside the Manhattan courtroom, on Wednesday (July 2), a man showered an underdressed woman in a blue wig with contents of a small baby oil bottle. The woman jumped about erratically while a group of spectators made room for her to celebrate the trial's verdict. Another man joined the shenanigans and rubbed baby oil on his chest. "It's not RICO, it's FREAKO," people shouted, according to CNN's Laura Coates.

Despite Diddy's acquittal on three charges, the music mogul was found guilty on two counts of transportation to engage in prostitution.

Baby oil was an often joked about topic during the weeks-long case, with Diddy being accused of using the liquid during "freak-offs," described as marathon sex parties between himself, past girlfriends, and hired sex workers.

During a raid of Diddy's Los Angeles and Miami properties last March, it was alleged that authorities seized baby oil bottles in the thousands, with bottles allegedly also being found in his hotel room upon his arrest that September. Other materials that the entertainer was accused of using during the sex marathons were Astroglide lubricant, inflatable pools, and more.

Last week, Diddy's oldest son Justin Combs was asked by a woman if he could pee on her. “Where the baby oil?” she added.
