‘Creepy’ footage of Diddy with young Justin Bieber resurfaces

A “creepy” video of Sean “Diddy” Combs saying he was going to spend 48 hours with 15-year-old Justin Bieber — but “can’t disclose” what they were planning to do — has resurfaced amid the rapper’s sex-trafficking investigation.

In the clip posted online Tuesday, Diddy is seen standing next to the teenage pop star, who smiles awkwardly as the rapper explains what he is doing with Bieber.

“He’s having 48 hours with Diddy,” the then-40-year-old “All I Wanna Do Is Win” singer says.

“Where we hanging out and what we’re doing we really can’t disclose,” he says. “But it’s definitely a 15-year-old’s dream.”

Diddy goes on to say he has “been given custody” of Bieber for 48 hours, explaining: “He’s signed to Usher and I had legal guardianship of Usher when he did his first album.

“I don’t have legal guardianship of him,” Diddy admits of Bieber, “but for the next 48 hours, he’s with me and we’re gonna go full crazy.”

Bieber is seen smiling throughout the clip, looking up at Diddy and making small comments like “Yeah, I’m signed with Usher” and agreeing they would go “full crazy.”

Just moments before the awkward exchange, Diddy was seen presenting the teenager with a convertible.

“OK, so I’m gonna be driving this next year,” Bieber says, appreciatively.

Diddy then agrees that he can “come down” and get the car when he turns 16, and “then when you’re 18, you get the house — you get the mansion.”

In another video apparently taken months later, Diddy could be seen confronting the teenager because he “ain’t been calling me and hanging out with me the way we used to hang out.”

Bieber could be seen stepping back and forth and stuttering as he explained to the rapper that he was only trying to get through to him via his reps but “you never really got my number.”

Many online branded the videos “creepy,” including internet personality Luke Rudkowski, who asked, “where the hell are the parents here?!”

The videos of Diddy’s interactions with young Bieber resurfaced just hours after internet sleuths uncovered an interview Usher did with shock jock Howard Stern in 2016, in which he admitted he saw “very curious things” taking place at Diddy’s New York mansion when he was sent to live with him for a year at the age of just 14.

“I got a chance to see some things … I don’t know if I could indulge and even understand what I was looking at,” Usher said.

“It was pretty wild. It was crazy. There were very curious things taking place and I didn’t necessarily understand it,” he said, laughing, adding that he felt like a little brother during the time he spent with the Bad Boy Records boss.

When Stern asked whether he would send his own kids to Puffy Flavor Camp, Usher exclaimed: “Hell no!”

Here's what we know about the allegations against Sean "Diddy" Combs

Authorities are investigating whether Diddy may have been engaging in sex-trafficking, and have seized his phones and computers from his Los Angeles and Miami homes.

The raid Monday came almost one day to the month since Rodney “Lil Rod” Jones — a former producer and videographer for Diddy — filed an explosive lawsuit claiming the music mogul repeatedly sexually assaulted him from September 2022 to November 2023.

Jones accused Combs of groping his genitals and grooming him into having sex.

A former NYPD detective in the rap intelligence unit said he believes “someone is behind” these investigations, “someone who really wants to destroy his brand and take him down.”

“Someone’s giving [authorities] sensitive information. Someone’s cooperating, and it’s probably someone close to him,” said Derrick Parker, who was assigned to two of Diddy’s more infamous cases in New York in the 1990s and knew the rapper well.

“This looks, to me, like the tip of the iceberg.”

But an attorney representing Diddy has slammed the investigation as “nothing more than a witch hunt based on meritless accusations made in civil lawsuits.”

The lawyer noted that Diddy has not been arrested or charged and has spoken to and cooperated with authorities.

The rapper’s travel has also not been restricted in any way, the lawyer added.
