Amid Sean “Diddy” Combs’ arrest, several old interviews featuring the rapper have been unearthed due to recent allegations made against him. In a clip that has resurfaced online, the embattled rapper can be seen speaking to pop sensation Justin Bieber, cautioning him against sharing intimate details of their hangouts.
Last month, Sean “Diddy” Combs was arrested and charged with sex trafficking, racketeering, and transportation to engage in prostitution following a grand jury indictment.
The “Finna Get Loose” rapper has left many individuals concerned after a viral clip showed him gushing about Bieber being one of the “greatest kids” while also imploring him to keep details of their hangouts under wraps.
In the unearthed video, Diddy and a then-16-year-old Bieber appeared on the late-night talk show “Jimmy Kimmel Live!” in 2011, where the host pressed to know what the nature of their relationship was at the time.
“What’s going on with you guys? Are you working together?” Kimmel asked in the clip, per Page Six.
Diddy responded, “No … We’ve become friends in a strange way,” before explaining, “To a lot of us, he’s like a little brother … He’s not afraid to call and ask for advice.”
He then added that the music industry is “a strong family,” and many people, including himself, wanted to have their “arms around” the “Sorry” hitmaker to “protect him” because he’s a “nice person.”
“Besides his talent, he’s one of the greatest kids that you could ever know,” Diddy continued his alluring tribute to Bieber, who then thanked him as the audience clapped during the segment.
After the rousing applause from the audience settled, Kimmel suggested that perhaps Diddy could buy Bieber a car as he did with his son back then.
He got me a Lamborghini — I just haven’t gotten it yet,” Bieber quickly replied, which prompted Diddy to look off to the side with an irritated gesture.
“He had the Lamborghini for a day or two, and he had access to the house,” Diddy finally said. “He knows better than to be talking about the things that he does with big brother Puff on national television. Everything ain’t for everybody.”
The cryptic exchange has left many fans speculating what the nature of the relationship between the pair was at the time, especially in light of Diddy’s recent criminal indictment on sex trafficking.
The resurfaced Kimmel interview has left many online concerned and worried about Bieber, given the recent allegations made against Diddy.
One person wrote on X (formerly Twitter), “Diddy’s facial expression in the last frame! Very chilling.”
Another said, “This creep is so gross.” Several others slammed the video as “odd” and “strange.”
Besides charges brought against the rapper by federal prosecutors, several individuals have also sued Diddy.
A new case announced by Texas-based lawyer Tony Buzbee, who represents 120 accusers, alleges that Diddy sexually abused multiple people, including 25 minors, at his white parties and other events.
The rapper’s lawyer has since slammed the new claims as “meritless” and “defamatory.”
