Sean 'Diddy' Combs Appears to Pat Justin Bieber to Check if He's Wearing a Cable, Outraging Fans | Hollywood

Rapper Sean Combs aka Diddy is in prison on sex trafficking and extortion charges. The rapper's arrest and trial shocked the Hollywood elite, many of whom were friends with him. Singer Justin Bieber has often cited Diddy as one of his mentors and the young star is reportedly “disgusted” by the allegations. However, many have theorized that Bieber was a victim and not a co-conspirator of Diddy. A recently resurfaced video has given new momentum to this speculation.

Diddy check Justin Bieber for a wire?

An old video of a meeting between Justin Bieber and Diddy from 2021 has resurfaced. The video shows Diddy getting out of a vehicle and then greeting Justin Bieber with a hug before patting him on the chest and torso a few times. The video was posted by Jutsin himself on his Instagram in 2021. On Thursday, Daily Mail re-shared the video with the caption: “Disturbing video of Diddy with Justin Bieber.”

The accompanying caption read: “A resurfaced video of Diddy and Justin Bieber hugging has sparked speculation that Diddy was checking to see if the pop star was wearing a wire.”

The video sparks disgust among fans. Many of them said it was an unpleasant affair given recent developments. “I can't even, it's hurtful to even look at it,” one fan wrote. Another said: “The body language says it all! From smiling to frowning in two seconds. JB shakes his head, no. No, I don't wear a wire.” However, many also called on the media to stop speculating. “If he was mistreated, it’s his story to tell,” one comment summed up.

The Diddy controversy

Sean Combs, popularly known as Diddy, is a popular American rapper who was arrested on conspiracy and sex trafficking charges earlier this year. The allegations date back to 2008. An indictment alleges that Combs used a network to coerce and abuse women for years from employees and associates, while silencing victims through extortion and violent acts such as kidnapping, arson and physical violence. Combs, 54, has pleaded not guilty to charges filed against him last month.
