The relationship that Justin Bieber had with Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs and some videos where they appear together are giving something to talk about after the rapper was arrested and charged with serious crimes.

Justin Bieber and his relationship with Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs is under scrutiny after the arrest of the rapper, who faces federal charges of sex trafficking and organized crime.

JLo’s ex-boyfriend was arrested in New York on September 16 and was accused by a federal court of having presided over a “sordid empire of sexual crimes” and of engaging in a “persistent and widespread pattern of abuse towards women and others,” AP reported.

Amid the strong allegations against the 54-year-old rapper, questions have arisen about the relationship that Justin Bieber maintains with ‘Diddy’ and how his reaction to the scandal has been.

“Creepy” Justin Bieber and Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs videos resurface

Justin Bieber is one of the music stars who had the support and mentorship of ‘Diddy’ at the beginning of his career.

Some clips of Bieber and Combs together, recorded in 2009, have gone viral and scandalized amid the accusations against the rapper.

In one of the videos, described in the media as “creepy”, Combs says to the camera: “He’s spending forty-eight hours with ‘Diddy’, we can’t reveal where we hang out or what we’re doing, but it’s definitely a 15-year-old boy’s dream.”

Diddy also says: “I’ve been given custody of him. He signed with Usher and I had legal guardianship of Usher when he made his first album. I don’t have legal guardianship of him (Justin Bieber), but for the next forty-eight hours he’ll be with me and we’ll go crazy.”

After the rapper promises to let him drive his Lamborghini when he turns 16, Bieber questions “where they’re going now,” to which Combs responds by asking him where he’d like to go: “We’re going to pick up girls,” Justin says.

The relationship between them continued and Justin participated in Diddy’s most recent album, The Love Album: Off The Grid, released in September 2023 and where he collaborated on the song ‘Moments’.

Justin Bieber “is aware” of the arrest and all the allegations against Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs, a source told People.

“However, it’s nothing he wants to focus on,” the insider said.

The music star, 30, is reportedly “in a happy bubble since baby Jack was born” and focused on “being a great father and husband.”
