Justin Bieber is having a difficult time escaping his tainted history of involvement with the disgraced rap artist, and the fact that an old clip has surfaced showing Sean Combs patting down the pop star in what appears to be an attempt to check for a police wire is certainly not helping matters, a new report claimed.
The rapper, formerly known as Puff Daddy, can be seen in the video asking the singer, known for her song "Peaches," something while they are standing next to a black SUV.
The video is thought to have been created in 2021. "No," Justin shook his head, and then the 55-year-old founder of Bad Boy Records walked over to the younger friend and patted his chest as if looking for something.
"Paranoia," pronounced one viewer online. "Trying to play it safe, nothing more," commented another.
But all of this is blowing up in Justin's face now that Diddy has been arrested for federal sex offenses and is being imprisoned without bail in a filthy holding facility in Brooklyn!
Despite rumors of wild sex parties and the rapper discreetly making up with women who have accused him of rape and other offenses, Diddy has been charged with racketeering conspiracy, sex trafficking, and transportation to engage in prostitution, as per Al Jazeera. These charges come amid allegations that he has engaged in prostitution.
In one instance, he settled with his 38-year-old ex-girlfriend Cassie Ventura despite asserting his innocence. However, an old surveillance film from a hotel surfaced, showing him kicking and dragging the singer along a hallway. This caused him to reconsider his viewpoint.
According to a 14-page indictment that was made public in September, law enforcement agencies, including the Department of Homeland Security, conducted raids on the residences of the former Sean John designer in Miami and Los Angeles in March. During these raids, they seized three AR-15 guns and a thousand bottles of lubricant.
According to a group of attorneys, up to 120 more cases against Diddy are in the works. These claims include both male and female plaintiffs, as well as 25 plaintiffs who were juveniles at the time in question. This comes as the charges against Diddy continue to pile up, The Guardian reported.
At the time of the alleged sexual assault, one of the claimed victims was only nine years old, according to the attorneys.
Diddy has refuted all of the allegations.
However, Justin is a complete and utter mess since he has been thrust into Diddy's spotlight. He is "completely disgusted" by the claims made against his old friend, and he is also attempting to deal with the fact that he is a first-time parent to baby Jack, together with his wife Hailey Bieber, who is 27 years old.
"Justin is in a hard place mentally right now," a source spilled to GLOBE Magazine. "He has a history with Diddy, and the allegations against him have been hard to process.
The rapper and the "Baby" singer, who was a teenager then, appeared in another video released in March.
"Where we hanging out and what we doing, we can't really disclose," Diddy said on the video. "But it's definitely a 15-year-old's dream!"
Business Times has reached out to Justin Bieber for comments.
