Landon Barker is currently under fire after hosting a 21st birthday party — which was attended by his father Travis Barker and step-mum Kourtney Kardashian — that included a Sean Combs / P Diddy gag.
During the event, which was held at Harriet’s in West Hollywood on Wednesday US time, servers carried bottles of baby oil with flashing lights, which was a crude reference to the fact that one thousand bottles of baby oil were allegedly found in Diddy’s home during his arrest on sex trafficking charges.
Naturally, the nepo baby has copped a ton of backlash since the event and his uber famous step-mum is said to be “mortified” by it all.
“Kourtney was not in on this joke at all and was mortified when she realised what was happening,” a source told Daily Mail.

“She wanted to leave because she was afraid of being associated with this joke. But it was too late, and she confronted Travis. He claimed it wasn’t his idea either, but they both knew how distasteful it was,” the insider said.
“They were just really hoping it wouldn’t go public. Landon made a mockery of something very serious at a time when the family is keen to distance themselves from Diddy,” the source said, adding that it has “caused tensions”.
On the day of the party, Blink-182 drummer Travis shared a carousel of images of his eldest son on Instagram to celebrate his birthday.
“Happy Birthday @andonasherbarker. You blessed my world 21 years ago and I am forever grateful,” the caption began.
“So proud of the man you’ve become and everything you’ve set out to accomplish and did. You are the best son and brother anyone could ask for. I love you always and forever my boy and cherish every moment with you.”
Kourtney commented on the post, writing: “21!!” with a heat emoji.

Authorities discovered the baby oil during the investigation into Combs. It’s been central to their case around the rapper hosting days-long and drug-fuelled sex sessions described as “freak-offs”.
Diddy’s lawyer Marc Agnifilo — who has maintained his client’s innocence in the weeks following his arrest on sex trafficking charges — told TMZ that Combs “buys in bulk” and that there are “Costcos in every place where [Combs] has a home.” He also intimated that the lubricant was used for “threesomes” and not for the “freak-offs” alleged by prosecutors.
Following this defence, Costco spoke out denouncing the claims and argued that they weren’t even possible, since none of its 614 stores across the US even stock baby oil.
