Sean “Diddy” Combs has been in the blazing spotlight for months now following a scathing sexual abuse lawsuit filed by singer Cassie and the even more recent footage of him appearing to assault her in a hotel hallway.

Since the assault video in particular, the internet has analyzed Diddy’s relationship with music artists who have worked with the rap mogul — among them Justin Bieber. A now viral Instagram post of an undated video off Diddy and Bieber reads, “They saying Diddy appears to be checking Justin Bieber to see if he’s wearing a wire.”

A 3-year-old, unsettling video of Diddy and Justin Bieber resurfaces after Homeland Security raided the Combs’ properties.

A string of Diddy-Justin Bieber videos have emerged on social media, each going viral for unsettling reasons as fans allege the disgraced Hip-Hop mogul of possibly subjecting the younger artist to grooming and other disturbing experiences. Yet another clip surfaced online earlier today, featuring Bieber coming in to check on Diddy.Diddy appears to be patting down Justin Bieber in a 3-year-old video to check for a wire. The video went viral again after Homeland Security raided his LA and Miami homes in the wake of several sexual assault allegations.

The said video was reportedly posted three years ago, but the timing of its online revival has got fans correlating it with Homeland Security raiding Diddy’s Los Angeles and Miami mansions in the last days of March. The American rapper and former chairman of Revolt TV has been embroiled in sexual assault, trafficking and more such allegations. His homes were raided after Rodney ‘Lil Rod’ Jones filed a $30M lawsuit against him. Since then, more contentious connections and videos from the past, targeting his former credibility, have re-materialised on internet platforms.

The viral clip in question today is merely one of three videos demonstrating Diddy’s (54) “creepy” and “disturbing” approach towards Justin (30).

What’s in the viral video featuring Diddy and Justin Bieber?

Bieber comes in to meet Diddy in his car, with a coffee cup in one hand. As they get talking, they hug and amicably dive into a short conversation that is barely caught on camera.

As the camera turns around with Diddy’s back to it and all focus on Bieber, the older musician seems to be asking Justin something. To which, the Never Say Never hitmaker nods a ‘no’. The video then pictures Diddy patting down Bieber’s chest several times. Eventually, his hand ends on the 30-year-old singer’s chest as he seemingly pulls him into an embrace.

In what appears to be another hug before they bid adieu, the two hold their stances for a moment, as Diddy presumably whispers something into Bieber’s ear. Breaking out of the hug, they both part ways, and Bieber utters a final “Love you” before boarding his car again.
