Enthusiastic fans of Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs were witnessed celebrating and chanting ‘let Puffy go’ following the rapper’s acquittal on some of the most severe allegations against him. 

Furthermore, baby oil was observed being sprayed over a large crowd as unconventional dancers stole the spotlight. Subsequently, riot police had to intervene and escort some of the partygoers out to restore order. 

Numerous supporters, both men and women, were photographed raising shirts bearing the words: ‘A FREAKO IS NOT A R.I.C.O’, while others sported shirts branded with ‘Sean John’ – Diddy’s clothing line. 

A beaming man was also seen waving around small bottles of baby oil – similar to the ones shown in evidence photos during the trial.  That same person was seen spraying the oil on a shirtless man. 

‘Basically, today the jury decided that a freako is not a R.I.C.O,’ one female supporter told Daily Mail. 

A male supporter was also heard shouting at a crowd, sharing how he hopes Diddy does ‘get some help.’ 

Diddy, 55, faces up to 20 years in prison after being found guilty of two counts of transportation to engage in prostitution. 

He was found not guilty of racketeering conspiracy – the top charge – and sex trafficking, the most crucial.

After nearly two months, Diddy’s supporters, many of whom have camped outside the courthouse for weeks on end, did not hide their excitement after finding out he was found not guilty on some of the charges.

‘Hopefully he do get some therapy. Hopefully he does get some help. Seek some help,’ he said as another person seemingly agreed, responding: ‘Right!’ 

‘Stay away from the drugs and the addiction,’ he added. 

A woman who claims she went to ‘a few’ of Diddy’s parties, said she experienced ‘nothing but generosity and positivity.’ 

‘I’ve never seen anything negative, ever…I’m very happy and I feel like justice was served,’ she said.  

Another ally expressed his happiness with the racketeering conspiracy, or RICO, verdict, and added that the government tried to ‘bring a black man down.’ 

‘I’m really happy about the RICO outcome, because RICO, it’s very serious,’ he stated. 

‘And they are trying to bring a black man down because of his success and his money.’ 

While many shared their joy, one woman shared her concern not just for the industry but for his children as well.

‘I’m super concerned about the industry. I’m saddened for his children,’ she explained. 

Another woman said: ‘I think the whole thing is crazy. I definitely feel like he was guilty so I’m upset that nothing happened.’

‘Diddy need to sit his a** down because nobody is above the law, no matter how much money you think you have. You cannot buy everything,’ a man said. 

The music mogul was convicted of two counts under the federal Mann Act for transporting people, including his girlfriends and paid male sex workers, to engage in prostitution. 

Each count of the felony crime carries a maximum sentence of up to 10 years in prison. 

But the jury of eight men and four women acquitted Combs of racketeering conspiracy and sex trafficking charges, related to allegations that he used his money, power and frightening physical force to manipulate his girlfriends into hundreds of drug-fueled sex marathons with the men. 

While prosecutors said they will ask for a 20-year sentence for the convictions, his lawyers asked the judge to release him on a $1million bond so he can await sentencing in his Miami home.

The judge said he will decide on the release after giving time for the prosecution and defense to submit letters with their arguments, which are due by 1pm Wednesday. 

As he left the courtroom, Diddy turned to his family and smiled as they applauded and said: ‘I’ll be home soon.’

He added: ‘I love you, baby’ and, ‘I love you, Mom.’

He was also seen kneeling with his head in his hands afterward. 

Diddy will remain in custody as the judge considers the defense’s argument that the hip-hop mogul should be granted bail and released until his sentencing.

All of his children, including his baby daughter Love, were present in court. 

His mother Janice, 85, and his older children were seen walking out of court with smiles on their faces. 

Overall, the jury deliberated for about 13 and a half hours over the course of three days.

It’s been almost two months since jury selection began on May 5.

The verdict came as the jury faced the prospect of coming into court Thursday, while the courthouse is otherwise closed, or waiting until after the long Independence Day weekend to resume deliberating if they didn’t come to a decision Wednesday. 

Cassie Ventura’s lawyer Doug Wigdor, who was present in court, told the media ‘we’re pleased that he’s finally been held responsible for two federal crimes.’

Wigdor added that ‘this case proved that change is long overdue and we will continue to fight on behalf of survivors.’

The lawyer said Cassie ‘paved the way’ for the convictions.

‘Although the jury did not find Combs guilty of sex trafficking Cassie beyond a reasonable doubt, she paved the way for a jury to find him guilty of transportation to engage in prostitution.

Wigdor told CNN the verdict ‘is not a loss’ and that Diddy is now a convicted criminal.

He said Cassie ‘felt comfort’ that she shined a light on Diddy’s behavior.
