Sickos are snapping up hundreds of P Diddy masks and costumes on eBay and Amazon for warped Halloween costumes ahead of the rapper’s sex trafficking trial.
Ebay boasts that one of its £1.74 elasticated cardboard face coverings, sold by Surrey-based firm FunkyBunky, is a “hot” product.
It has been viewed almost 500 times in the last 24 hours.

And Amazon lets buyers know that £2.49 P Diddy masks, made by Yorkshire company Celebrity Face Masks, will “arrive before Halloween”.
The music mogul, 54, is facing criminal and civil cases after more than 100 people accused him of offences including rape and sexual assault.
Accusers say he hosted debauched sex parties where drugs and abuse were rife.
Combs has denied all the charges.
His celebrity pals are now reportedly secretly paying off accusers in a desperate bid to avoid being named in court, according to lawyer Tony Buzbee who is representing 120 alleged victims in civil cases.
He said: “The day will come when we will name names other than Sean Combs, and there’s a lot of names.
“It’s a long list already, but because of the nature of this case, we are going to make damn sure – damn sure – that we’re right before we do that.

“The names will shock you.”
Mr Buzbee has since said he is giving the celebs involved a chance to pay large sums of cash to the victims to avoid being named.
Combs’ criminal trial is set for May next year.
He faces a sentence of up to life in prison and a minimum of 15 years if convicted of the three counts of racketeering, sex trafficking and prostitution charges.
Anthony Lamb, director of FunkyBunky, said: “P Diddy masks have gone crazy, it was a bit of a surprise that people from almost every corner of the world are buying them.
“Over the past week we have probably sold in excess of 1,000 of them just on our website alone.
“The last time something went crazy like this was a few Halloweens ago when the craze was Rolf Harris.”
A spokesman for Celebrity Face Masks said: “We have been selling facemasks of celebrities for over 12 years. They are meant as fun or gest and laughter.
“Eventually P Diddy may end up in the deviants sale box with Rolf Harris and Prince Andrew.”
