Explosive new Diddy mansion pics reveal star’s shelves stacked with baby oil, a vast weapons arsenal & ketamine stash
BOMBSHELL new images from Sean “Diddy” Combs’ mansion have been revealed – with shelves stacked with baby oil, shotguns sprawled around, and his ketamine stash unveiled.
The disgraced music mogul, 55, is currently on trial in New York for sex-trafficking, and faces life behind bars if convicted.
He’s pleaded not guilty to charges of sex trafficking, racketeering conspiracy, and transportation to engage in prostitution, as prosecutors alleged his business empire was also a criminal enterprise.
The abundance of explosive pics were released by federal prosecutors as the trial was stalled due to the Juneteenth holiday.
The bombshell items were seized by Homeland Security officials during the March 2024 raid at Combs’ mansion in the neighborhood of Holmby Hills – a playground for the rich and famous.
One chilling image shows baby oil neatly displayed across three shelves in one room of the sprawling property.
Homeland Security Investigations agent Andre Lamon has testified that he found 900 bottles of lubricant Astroglide and 200 bottles of baby oil at Combs’ home.
Defense Attorney Marc Agnifilo said the disgraced star likes to “buy in bulk like any other American”.
Another image shows various weapons confiscated by agents, including deadly AR-15 style rifles and pump shotguns.
Investigators also discovered bags of the drug ketamine that were photographed as evidence.
Federal prosecutors have alleged that the Schedule III, or Class B substance was used in the infamous “freak-offs”.
Combs would put women through days-long “freak-off” sex parties while filming them, a court heard last month.
A few weeks ago, Combs’ ex-girlfriend testified about opening “Pandora’s box” after she agreed to the music executive’s proposal to engage in sex with strangers.
The woman, who is being identified in court under the pseudonym Jane, recalled on the stand about falling “head over heels” for Combs after they first met in late 2020.
She said that she did various drugs, including cocaine, ecstasy, molly, and ketamine, every time she saw Combs between February and May 2021.
During the March 2024 raid, a hard drive was also seized, and the property’s security system was turned off.
Combs forked out almost $40 million on the 17,000 square-foot, 10-bedroom home back in September 2014. He put it on the market a decade later for $61.5 million.
The property boasts outdoor features such as a swimming pool, and its lawns are neat.
Inside, there is a 35-seat theater room, a wine cellar, a gym, as well as a state-of-the-art gourmet kitchen.
Its other features include a basketball court, spa room, and an outdoor loggia-style facility where barbecues can be hosted, per the Zillow listing.
There’s also an underground swimming tunnel that is linked to a grotto.
Meanwhile, even if Combs is found guilty, he could be pardoned by President Donald Trump.
Trump surprised reporters by commenting on the court case during a news conference with Elon Musk and revealed he would consider whether or not he has been “mistreated.”
Asked if he would consider pardoning him, Trump said, “Nobody’s asked. But I know people are thinking about it. I think some people have been very close to asking.”
He said he felt the former music mogul used to like him “a lot” but wasn’t his biggest fan after he went into politics.
Despite this, Trump said, “I would certainly look at the facts. If I think somebody was mistreated, whether they like me or don’t like me, it wouldn’t have any impact on me.”

Diddy locked eyes with us as he entered the courtroom - inside the trial of the decade
By Israel S-Rodriguez, Senior News Reporter at The U.S. Sun
The federal sex trafficking trial of Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs began with jury selection on May 5.
Combs is standing trial at the Southern District of New York Courthouse in Lower Manhattan – an intimidating federal courthouse where the cases of Ghislaine Maxwell, Donald Trump, and Bernard Madoff, among others, were tried.
Once a powerful founder of a music and business empire, Combs has been reduced to a defendant, inmate 37452-054, stripped of his mogul status, and now standing trial on five federal charges with the full wrath of the United States government against him.
When I attended Day 3 of jury selection at the federal courthouse on May 7, the buzz around the start of the trial was palpable.
Hours before the courthouse opened its doors, more than a dozen reporters and members of the public stood in line in hopes of securing a seat in the gallery for the high-profile trial.
As you walk through the glass door entrance of the Daniel Patrick Moynihan Courthouse, you are met by bulletproof vest-clad court officers.
All visitors must separate their electronic devices from their personal belongings, which are passed through a metal detector.
Visitors walk through a metal detector before a court officer hands them a poker chip.
The courthouse uses a poker chip system to sort the number of electronic devices visitors are in possession of.
Electronic devices, such as Bluetooth-powered headphones, voice recorders, laptops, cellphones, and smart watches, are confiscated before you’re allowed to enter the courthouse’s main hallway.
As about a half-dozen reporters and I waited in the gallery for jury selection, we witnessed how Combs entered the courtroom shackle-free.
Combs entered with his hands pressed together, greeted his defense team before he examined the gallery, and locked eyes with reporters and potential jurors.
The 55-year-old disgraced Bad Boy Records executive was attentive and engaged with his counsel as they grilled dozens of potential jurors.
As jury selection wrapped up for the day, Combs embraced each of his female defense attorneys before he mouthed “thank you” to a handful of supporters in the gallery.
I attended trial again as opening statements got underway on May 12 and the world media waited anxiously outside the federal courthouse before the sun rose in Lower Manhattan.
A line stretched down the block from the federal courthouse as some members of the media and from the public camped out overnight to try to obtain a coveted seat inside the gallery.
At least three overflow rooms were made available for reporters and the public, who are eager to witness the prosecutions case against the music mogul.
At least half a dozen members of Combs’ family arrived at the courthouse as spectators filed in single order to enter the federal building to turn over all their electronic devices.
Combs’ trial is being held on the 26th floor in Judge Arun Subramanian’s courtroom and is expected to last for eight weeks.
We’ll bring it all to you on The U.S. Sun.
Generous Anthony Joshua pays fees for gifted student to study at Ashley Walters’ drama school
CHAMPION boxer Anthony Joshua’s generous company has helped pay the tuition fees for a gifted student to attend Ashley Walters’ drama school.
Non-profit organisation Clean Herts Company has teamed up with creative agency IMC to make Watford lad Lebron James‘ dreams a reality.
The student, whose namesake is an NBA legend that has also starred as the lead role in box office hit Space Jam 2, said he is “incredibly honoured and grateful” for the contribution.
He continued: “None of this would have been possible without the incredible support of AJ and the Clean Herts Commumity team and Kat with ICM, whose belief in me has opened doors I used to only dream about.”
Lebron was invited to Elstree Studios for a behind the scenes glimpse at how top productions like The Crown, Star Wars, and Strictly Come Dancing are made.
He said: “Experiences like this have only fuelled my passion to become a respected actor.
“This opportunity is a major step forward in developing my craft, and learning from some of the very best in the industry which I don’t take lightly
“I’ve made a promise to my family, my friends, and to myself – to always give everything I’ve got, stay grounded, and bring my community with me on this journey
“These are only the sweet beginnings – the best is yet to come!”
Kingdom School of Arts was founded in 2012 by Top Boy star Walters and film producer Nagajan Modhwadia.
It is open to both amateurs and professionals and seeks to help close the gap between studies and real-life acting work.
A spokesman for ICM said: “We are delighted to be able to give back to our local community.
“After our CEO learned of Lebron James gaining a place at Kingdom Drama School, she instinctively wanted to assist Lebron and his family with paying towards his tuition fees and approached CHC.”
They continued: “We are extremely happy that CHC enabled us to do this for Lebron. It is a beautiful thing when like-minded organisations come together to help our future generation succeed – this is proof, that it does take a village to raise a child.
“We have also offered Lebron, Actor Representation with ICM upon his graduation from Kingdom Drama School.
“Our CEO Katerina Michael, thoroughly enjoyed showing Lebron and CHC around our office headquarters here in the Elstree Film Studios.
“We hope being immersed in this environment for the day further inspired him to go get his dreams and achieve them. We look forward to working with Lebron and continuing to support him.”
Community interest company CHC is committed to supporting people in Joshua’s hometown of Watford and across Hertfordshire.
Whether it be hosting paintballing events, Christmas gatherings or sessions in AJ’s old boxing gym, CHC is determined to be a source of aid and inspiration for the area it serves.

‘A horrendous tragedy’ – Tributes pour in for man killed in Roscommon fire as plans to adapt home for partner revealed
TRIBUTES are being paid to a devoted partner who died in a horror house fire in Roscommon on Wednesday evening.
Tragic Des Deegan, 72, who died in a blaze at a home in The Oaks, Frenchpark, Co Roscommon, was planning to adapt his home for his partner, who has been in rehabilitation for the past two years.
Emergency services attended the scene after a report shortly before 7pm on Wednesday evening.
It is understood that the fire completely destroyed the house in The Oaks estate.
And it is still unclear what caused the fire.
Mr Deegan, who is originally from Dublin died at the scene.
His body was removed and taken to Galway University Hospital for a post-mortem examination.
Roscommon and Galway TD Claire Kerrane took to social media to pay tribute to the devoted partner.
She said: “Terrible news confirmed this morning that a gentleman has died in the house fire. A horrendous tragedy.
“May his gentle soul rest in peace. As a community, I know we will rally around to support in any way we can.
“Des Deegan was one of the nicest people I’ve met as part of my work. It was always a pleasure to deal with him.
“My deepest condolences to his beloved partner and to his family.”
Locals added that Mr Deegan was a devoted partner to Alice Hetherton, 63, who suffered a bleed on the brain and an aneurysm in May 2023.
She has been in rehabilitation for the past two years.
Mr Deegan had launched a fundraiser to help with the financial burden of bringing Alice home.
The fundraiser was created on April 25, with a set target of raising €70,000.
Some €6,953 has been raised so far with over 101 donations.
The couple have met in London but had lived at Frenchpark for the past 25 years.
Mr Deegan wrote at the time: “I’ve started this fundraiser on behalf of my partner Alice Hetherton, formerly of Oldcastle Co Meath.
“Alice is 63 years old, she has worked all her life caring for others as a care worker in hospitals and nursing homes across the UK and Ireland.
“Ironically Alice finds herself now in need of the support she has given to others.”
He continued: “Beaumont Hospital performed neurosurgery to stop the bleed and equally deal with the aneurysm.
“The Surgeon noted it was one of the worst cases he had seen.
“Alice has been in rehabilitation for the past two years. Her mobility is very restricted and she will require continued home supports and therapies.
“Alice is frustrated that the care she is currently receiving in a nursing home could equally be carried out at home.”
No funeral arrangements have been made as yet.
Rob Kearney’s hilarious boozy night out story after infamous lowpoint in Brian O’Driscoll’s Lions career
EVEN stories about Brian O’Driscoll’s darkest days tend to paint him in a good light.
So it proved as Rob Kearney recalled him getting dropped for the third Test of the British and Irish Lions’ 2013 Tour of Australia.
Kearney teed things up by recalling how when O’Driscoll was initially called to a meeting with head coach Warren Gatland, the assumption was that he was going to be made captain for it.
He cited how their fellow Ireland legend Paul O’Connell had broken his arm in the previous match-up whilst Sam Warburton had also gotten injured so a new leader had to be selected.
Kearney told the Indo Sport podcast: “It was a weird atmosphere (when O’Driscoll got back and told them he was being omitted from the matchday 23).
“All the players were shocked. But Brian mucked in to be fair to him.
“Some of us went out for drinks that night and I texted him ‘Are you coming down to the pub for a few pints?’
“But he replied ‘No, I’m doing video analysis with Jonathan Davies’. So I responded ‘You’re a bigger man than me!’
“It was class of him because it would’ve been very easy for him to say ‘Sod all of this, I’m going on the beer.’
“Especially because Twitter was around then so we were able to feel the absolute uproar and rage from back home here.”
Host Joe Molloy tacked on the point that it’s not like the then 34-year-old had to keep in Gatland’s good books in case he was in charge of the next Tour in 2017.
Ultimately, the Kiwi was able to point to the result in that third match-up with the Wallabies to justify his contentious selection call as they walloped their hosts 41-16 to secure a 2-1 series triumph.
They had been pipped 16-15 in the previous encounter while they took the first battle 23-21.
Kearney predicted another 2-1 victory for the all-star squad in this summer’s edition of the fabled rugby tradition.
Andy Farrell’s outfit play the first of 10 total fixtures this evening at the Aviva Stadium in what could prove a very tall task against Argentina.
Wednesday saw him name his starting XV for the 8pm kick-off. The headline item from it was that Tadhg Furlong looks set to be handed a chance to prove his fitness, albeit off the bench.
The prop has not played since Leinster’s Champions Cup semi-final defeat to Northampton because of a calf injury.
He is joined in the replacements by Rónan Kelleher, the only other Leinster player involved because they were involved in the URC final win over Bulls at the weekend, in which the hooker came off the bench.
There are still three Irish players in the starting XV with 2021 tourists Bundee Aki of Connacht and Munster’s Tadhg Beirne included, along with Bealham.
Aki and Bealham’s provincial teammate Mack Hansen is also included among the replacements.
Farrell has not included any Bath representatives with the side involved in the Premiership final against Leicester Tigers on Saturday.
Lions: M Smith (England), Freeman (England), Tuipulotu (Scotland), Aki (Ireland), van der Merwe (Scotland), F Smith (England), Mitchell (England), Genge (England), Cowan-Dickie (England), Bealham (Ireland), Itoje (England), Beirne (Ireland), Curry (England), Morgan (Wales), Earl (England).
Replacements: Kelleher (Ireland), Schoeman (Scotland), Furlong (Ireland), Cummings (Scotland), Pollock (England), Williams (Wales), Daly (England), Hansen (Ireland)
We asked 12 beauty experts to spill on their favourite beauty buys – some cost £450, others just £2
IN the wise words of Jessie J, it’s not about the money where beauty buying is concerned.
In fact, more than a third of Boots Advantage Card members shopped for both budget-friendly make-up and premium cosmetics in 2024, focusing their attention not on how much products costs but on what really works – not something that’s always easy to work out.
To find out where we should be spending our money, and what products we can save on, we asked 10 industry experts for their favourite budget beauty product, and the one they will shell out for.
Tara Ledden, Beauty Editor
I’m a huge fan of high street beauty, as there are so many brilliant products lining the shelves today, you really don’t have to spend loads to arm yourself with hard-working products.
However, if I’m going to splurge, it’s almost always on skincare.

ARKIVE The Prologue Hair Primer, £4.50
I talk about ARKIVE The Prologue Hair Primer, £4.50, on an almost daily basis. In fact, when I told Beauty Writer Mia that I was going to make it my budget pick, she replied: “I knew it!” immediately.
It’s super lightweight, yet it still dissolves tangles and manages to leave hair noticeably softer and more shiny – while also protecting it from heat – without leaving any residue behind.
It’s impossible to use too much, so if you have fine hair like me, you don’t need to worry about it feeling dirty or limp.

Tatcha The Silk Cream, £123
I discovered Tatcha The Silk Cream, £123, in the Fabulous beauty cupboard over two years ago and started slathering it on my face.
Within days, I was getting compliments on how good my skin looked, including one from a fellow beauty editor well versed in my history of acne, who exclaimed: “Your skin looks like porcelain!” before we’d even said hello.
I’d used it for a week before I googled the price, and I instantly started using a tiny pea-sized amount to try to make the tub last longer, thinking I’d never be able to justify a repurchase.
Unfortunately for my bank balance, I’ve not found a cheaper moisturiser that compares, and have since re-stocked multiple times.
