Bono avoids Diddy’s kiss in resurfaced viral video: Did he know something about Diddy?

Bono appeared to avoid Sean "Diddy" Combs’ attempt to kiss him on the cheek in a video that resurfaced after the rapper's arrest on sex trafficking charges.

The video, from the 2014 Golden Globe Awards, shows Combs, Usher, and Kate Beckinsale presenting U2 with the award for Best Original Song for “Ordinary Love” from the film Mandela: Long Walk to Freedom.

Bono seemed pleased as he accepted the award from Usher, but Combs interrupted the moment with a congratulatory hug.

Bono responded with a quick side hug and then turned his head toward the audience just as Combs appeared to attempt a kiss on his cheek.

Combs' expression quickly shifted, and he left the stage with Beckinsale shortly after the interaction.

Despite the awkward moment, the two seemed to move past it, as they were seen socializing at the afterparty later that night.

“Diddy tried to kiss Bono and got the cold shoulder, awkward!” one X user commented on Monday.

“That moment was definitely awkward—celebrities have some of the most unexpected encounters!” another viewer added.

“Bono [is] like get away from me dude,” a third fan speculated.

A source, however, told us that the incident was “simply an awkward moment” and not something fans should read too much into.

Combs' legal troubles began last November when his ex-girlfriend, Cassie Ventura, filed a lawsuit accusing him of sex trafficking and physical abuse. The lawsuit was quickly settled, but it led to a deeper investigation into Combs’ past, culminating in his arrest in New York City on September 16.

The music mogul was charged with racketeering conspiracy, sex trafficking, and transporting individuals for prostitution. He pleaded not guilty to all charges.

Since his arrest, more than 100 alleged victims, including 25 minors, have come forward with accusations against Combs.

“We will expose the enablers who enabled this conduct behind closed doors. We will pursue this matter no matter who the evidence implicates,” said Texas-based lawyer Tony Buzbee, representing 120 individuals in civil lawsuits, during a press conference last week.
