Shortly after rapper Diddy's homes were raided by Homeland Security, an old video of him and a teenage Justin Bieber resurfaced and went viral on social media. The video sparked concerns from netzines, who argued that the pair should not have been hanging out together due to their wide age gap.
The raids on Diddy's homes are part of the ongoing sexual misconduct and trafficking investigation being done against him. There have been multiple abuse allegations against the musician, including a suit from his ex-girlfriend Cassie and another from Music producer Rodney "Lil Rod" Jones.
Amid Diddy's ongoing legal drama and s-- trafficking investigation, an old video of him and a teenage Justin Bieber has resurfaced online. The video has now received heavy criticism of what could really have happened behind the scenes, considering the allegations now being thrown against Diddy.
In the video, which was taken somewhere outdoors, the rapper spoke about doing a "48 hours with Diddy" experience for the then 15-year-old Bieber, who smiled nervously throughout.
He said, "Right now, he's having 48 hours with Diddy. Where we're hanging out and what we're doing, we can't really disclose, but it's definitely a 15-year-old's dream."
Diddy added, "For the next 48 hours, he's with me. And we're gonna go full. Buck full crazy." The rapper also mentioned that he and Bieber are connected through Usher, who signed Bieber and launched his music career. Diddy was previously Usher's legal guardian when he recorded and released his first album.
The video quickly went viral on social media, with users blasting the rapper and calling him "creepy." Others expressed concern for Bieber, claiming that he must have gone through some "horrific" events as a child star.
One X user commented, "I think Justin has been through some horrific situations," while another wrote, "The Beibs looks nervous. Who was protecting this young boy?"
A third person noted, "This is just sick. Seems Justin Bieber has some skeletons he may need to divulge. And may explain some of his behaviors."
"No wonder Justin Bieber ain't the same anymore; this says it all," another individual commented.
"His body language says something deep," wrote a fifth person.
Another remarked, "It's like this 'fame' and 'prosperity' got a tag on it!! From Hollywood and now the rap world... These revelations are many!!"
One more person noted, "I'm not saying he isn't a creep. I am saying you don't get arrested for being a creep unless you really p--- off the wrong people."
The viral video comes shortly after two of Diddy's homes were raided by Homeland Security.
