Resurfaced clip shows Diddy warning Justin Bieber to stay silent about past activities

While Diddy claims to see Bieber as a "little brother" he needs to protect, the comment raises questions.

A newly resurfaced clip from a 2011 episode of "Jimmy Kimmel Live!" has sparked renewed scrutiny on Sean "Diddy" Combs' relationship with Justin Bieber. Combs, currently facing federal charges of sex trafficking and racketeering, is seen in the video warning a then-16-year-old Bieber to remain silent about "the things they do together."

The video shows host Jimmy Kimmel asking Combs and Bieber about their friendship. Combs describes their bond as "strange" while Bieber compares it to the dynamic between professional skateboarder Rob Dyrdek and his bodyguard Christopher "Big Black" Boykin.

The conversation takes a concerning turn when Combs tells Bieber, "He knows better than to be talking about the things that he does with big brother Puff on national television." While Combs claims to see Bieber as a "little brother" he needs to protect, the comment raises questions about the nature of their past interactions.

The clip comes amidst ongoing legal troubles for Combs. He was arrested in September 2024 on charges of sex trafficking, racketeering, and transportation for prostitution. Over 100 women have come forward accusing Combs of sexual assault, with some alleging they were underage at the time.

Combs has denied all allegations and maintains his innocence. His legal team has called the accusations "meritless" and a "media circus." However, the resurfaced clip adds another layer of complexity to the ongoing case and raises questions about Combs' potential influence on Bieber during his formative years.
