As Sean "Diddy" Combs' downfall continues to accelerate—particularly after 120 more accusers, including minors, have come forward—old video footage is being revisited, now seen with new significance.

One such video was uploaded by Justin Bieber to his official YouTube channel in November 2009.

"I told you guys I produced a song for DIDDY and I wanted to show it to him and you got his attention. Best fans in the world," wrote the "Baby" singer, who was 15 at the time. "Well this past weekend I spent 48 HRS with DIDDY and had some fun. Here is some of the action. THanks for the car PUFF...haha."

Titled "JUSTIN BIEBER's 48 HRS with DIDDY!!," the video features Diddy showing Bieber a luxury car he would be allowed to drive once he turned 16 and got his license. "And then, when you get 18, you get the house, you get the mansion," Diddy advised the young pop star.

Speaking directly to the camera, Diddy mentioned that he and Bieber were spending 48 hours together, during which he had "custody" of the teen.

"You ever seen the movie *48 Hrs*? Right now [Justin is] having 48 hours with Diddy, him and his boy," said the Bad Boy mogul. "They're having the times of their lives, like where we hanging out and what we're doing we can't really disclose. But it's definitely a 15-year-old's dream."

Diddy added, "I have been given custody of him. You know, he's signed to Usher … and I had legal guardianship of Usher when he did his first album. I did Usher's first album."

Although Diddy clarified that he didn’t have "legal guardianship" over Bieber, he stated, "for the next 48 hours, [Justin's] with me," adding, "And we're gonna go full. Buck full crazy."

Diddy then asked Bieber what he wanted to do next. "Let's go get some girls," the teen smiled at his mentor.

"Man after my heart," Diddy replied. "That's what I'm talking about."

Justin Bieber, who recently welcomed his first child with his wife, Hailey Bieber, has not yet commented on the allegations against Diddy.
