On his blog, he called the jokes "disturbing" and "gross," particularly because they appeared to promote her O*lyFans content. Hilton wrote:"Diddy was on trial for charges of s*x trafficking and racketeering — and while he was only found guilty on two counts of transportation to engage in prostitution, the allegations that came out of the case were deeply disturbing. Joking about it — especially in the context of seemingly promoting an OnlyFans video — is so gross!"Lil Tay faces backlash for Diddy-themed posts amid legal contextThe backlash against Lil Tay is related to Sean "Diddy" Combs' recent legal issues. The 55-year-old rapper's troubles began in September 2024 when he was arrested and indicted on s*x trafficking, racketeering, and transportation to engage in prostitution charges, to which he had pleaded not guilty. In July 2025, he was found guilty on two counts of transportation to engage in prostitution but acquitted of racketeering conspiracy and s*x trafficking.During the trial, federal prosecutors presented evidence that included testimonies from multiple witnesses, among them was Combs' ex-girlfriend, Cassie Ventura. She testified that Diddy would frequently use a significant amount of baby oil and other lubricants at his "freak-off" parties.The FBI also conducted several raids on Combs' properties, where they recovered hundreds of bottles of baby oil lubricants placed in similar locations. These discoveries became a central part of the prosecution's case.This is not the first time Lil Tay has stirred controversy. Earlier in August, she received backlash for posting a video attacking women over the age of 25 who work 9-to-5 jobs, calling them "failures," and encouraging them to start O*lyFans instead.
