This is the chilling moment P Diddy seemingly tells Justin Bieber to zip it on “the things he does with Puff”, in what now seems to be a dark omen. The fallen music mogul, who joined a fresh-faced 16-year-old Bieber on a 2011 episode of Jimmy Kimmel Live, is currently behind bars, facing serious charges including sex trafficking and racketeering allegations he vehemently denies.
In the eerie throwback video, which has crawled its way back into the limelight, Kimmel probes the then-41-year-old Diddy: “What’s going on with you guys? Are you working together?” To which Diddy responds: “Nah. I think that we have become friends in a strange way.” Talking about their bromance, Bieber throws in that they’re like the dynamic duo “Rob and Big”, American skate legend Rob Dyrdek and his former bodyguard Christopher ‘Big Black’ Boykin, known for their MTV reality show shenanigans in the 2000s.
Diddy goes on with: “I mean, to a lot of us, he’s like a little brother. You know what I’m saying? He’s not afraid to call and ask for advice. He’s somebody that industry-wise, the record industry is a strong family. “He’s somebody that we definitely want to keep close and protect, because he’s actually a diamond geezer, a genuinely nice lad on top of his mad skills. The bloke’s one of the best kids you could ever meet, no word of a lie.”
Kimmel had the crowd giggling when he said to Justin: “You know, Diddy bought his son a Bentley, maybe he can buy you one also while he’s at it.” Justin cracked everyone up as he shot back with a quip: “He got me a Lamborghini. I haven’t gotten it yet though.”
Jimmy kept the banter going with, “When is it coming that Lamborghini? We talked about this last time,” before Diddy added with a cold laugh: “He had the Lamborghini for a day or two and he had access to the house. And he knows better than to be talking about the things he does with big brother Puff on national television. Everything ain’t for everybody.”
It’s been over a decade since Justin, now 30, hit it off with Diddy after their first encounter at the VMAs in 2009. Those were the days when young Justin was just getting started, having been taken under the wing of singer Usher, who once shared digs with Diddy during his early days in the biz.
Usher later dished the dirt on being mentored by Diddy. He laid bare claims that Diddy introduced him to sex, drugs, and booze way too early in life and admitted to MTV in 2010, that the lessons from Diddy were nothing he’d hand down himself.
