A 2011 clip of Sean “Diddy” Combs and Justin Bieber performing on “Jimmy Kimmel Live!” has been made public again in the wake of the music executive’s arrest for alleged racketeering and sex trafficking. Jimmy Kimmel, the host of the video, starts it off by questioning the two about their connection and whether or not they are producing music together.
The 54-year-old Combs muses on their bond as “little brother” and how the music business is a tight family. Thinking back on Bieber’s generosity and skill, he refers to him as one of the best youngsters he has ever known.
Bieber and Combs joke that Diddy bought him a Lamborghini and a Bentley, but Combs tells him not to discuss his behaviour with his “big brother Puff” on national TV.
Rekindled interest in a different video with Diddy and a then-15-year-old Bieber has come from Combs’ revelation that Bieber spends 48 hours with Diddy, where they hang out and what they do isn’t actually revealed.
Additionally, Combs claims to have custody of Bieber, who is signed to Usher and was Usher’s legal guardian during the recording of his debut album.
