THIS is the eerie moment Diddy says that Justin Bieber, just 16 at the time, “knows” to stay quiet abut what the rapper’s “strange friends” do at his house.
A resurfaced clip from 2011 shows the producer, real name Sean Combs, and the young singer on US talk show Jimmy Kimmel Live.
Combs, then 42, was sitting next to a teen Justin Bieber when the duo was asked what their relationship was about and if they were collaborating on music.
Describing Justin as like his “little brother,” Diddy answered that they had become friends “in a strange way” and that he was comfortable calling him for advice.
The music tycoon went on to say that the record industry was a close-knit family and that they had Justin covered from industry vultures.
Given his talent, Diddy called Justin “genuinely a nice person”.
He added: “He’s one of the greatest kids you could ever know.”
With a smile on his face, Bieber shook Diddy’s hand and told Jimmy that the CEO of Bad Boy Records had purchased a Lamborghini for him, but it hadn’t arrived yet.
When Jimmy asked Diddy about when Justin should expect the nice car, Diddy responded with a startling statement that doesn’t seem to have aged well.
He said: “[Justin] had the Lambo for a day or two and he had access to the house, and he knows better than to be talking about the things that he does with Big Brother Puff on national television.”
Combs, now 54, has since been charged with racketeering, sex trafficking, and transportation to engage in prostitution after his arrest in September.
Diddy entered a not guilty plea to the federal charges, which may result in a lengthy prison sentence.
The disgraced rapper was twice denied bail and is now being held at the Metropolitan Detention Centre in New York City as he awaits trial.
For more than a decade, the billionaire rapper used to invite Hollywood‘s A-listers to his legendary bashes.
None of the celebrities in attendance to Diddy’s parties have been accused of any wrongdoing.
There is also no suggestion that any celebrities or partygoers were aware of the music mogul’s alleged abuse.
It comes as Sean “Diddy” Combs is set to be hit with dozens of new allegations of sexual assault in a slew of civil lawsuits – but his lawyer has strongly denied the claims.
Attorney Tony Buzbee said he is representing 120 accusers – including one who claims he was just nine years old when he was allegedly abused by the rapper – and warned: “the names will shock you.”
Buzbee, who is based in Texas, said during a press conference on Tuesday that the allegations involve “many powerful people” and “many dirty secrets.”
He also noted that his team has “pictures, video and texts” to back up the claims.
Meanwhile, a team of detectives reportedly arrived in London last week after concerns were raised that the musician may have abused women in the UK.
Combs had been seen in London on regular occasions during his 30-year reign as a top music boss to upcoming artists.
Appearing on talk shows, movie sets and for a number of business trips to the English capital.
He had even rubbed shoulders with royalty and musical legends.
It’s not thought any of the celebrities or royals seen around Combs were involved in any of the activities he is now being investigated for.
The team of US detectives currently in the UK is reportedly being led by Damian Williams – the same prosecutor who built a successful case against Jeffrey Epstein‘s right hand woman Ghislaine Maxwell.
A source told The Mirror: “Outside of the States, he enjoyed no place more than the UK.
“Given the huge amount of time he spent in London, there are concerns that the alleged offending was not confined to America’s shores.
“Prosecutors are imploring anyone in the UK who may have information they feel could help the investigation to get in touch.”
Sean Combs' infamous drug-fueled freak offs, first revealed by his ex-girlfriend Cassie Ventura's lawsuit in November 2023, have become a central narrative of the indictment, which alleges:
MASKED Singer is back to “take it off” again with season 12.
Fans cannot wait to see which celebrities are hiding under the flamboyant costumes on The Masked Singer, and the guessing games have already begun.
On the show, celebrities sing while wearing masks and costumes to conceal their identities.
Contestants provide clues to help the judges and fans figure out who is under the mask.
Woodpecker was introduced to The Masked Singer US on September 25, 2024, when season 12 kicked off on Fox.
The towering Woodpecker costume is lined with black and red feathers.
Fans of the show are enjoying watching how totally wrong judge Ken Jeong is from week-to-week.
As the Woodpecker singer continues to impressively knock the judges off scent, provoking wildly incorrect guesses.
In the Footloose-themed episode aired on Wednesday October 2, 2024, Jeong said: “for the first time ever” he had no idea who the singer was, and that he was doubling-down on his previous prediction of Willow Smith.
Fellow panelist, Robin Thick initially thought that Jeong’s theory made sense, but vocally he warned, “you’re going down the wrong tree hole.”
The Woodpecker impressed the panel in last week’s kick-off with her bouncy cover of Miley Cyrus’ track, Flowers.
The second performance was Bonnie Tyler’s belter, Holding Out for a Hero.
Both weeks the Woodpecker was safe from elimination.
Woodpecker’s clue packages have so far included a directors chair, a little brown briefcase, a rubber ducky and a box of vegetables.
herself teased: “The only doors that open are ones you knock on” as she rapped on a gate next to a panel reading “Family.”
She also revealed that she’s on a path to becoming the “youngest billionaire.”
Woodpecker admitted that she was “planting roots” in Hollywood as a child, but it was awkward growing up in front of the world.
Other clues include the revelation that she has a connection with Beyoncé and she herself is a self-proclaimed “baddie.”
The rumours are circulating and fans are convinced that the Woodpecker could be actress and film producer, Marsai Martin.
Marsai had a starring role in the comedy film Little, 2019, which she also produced, making her the youngest person ever to produce a studio film.
She also starred in the Channel 4 series, Black-ish.
Reddit users are confident that it is indeed her with many posting their claims.
One said: “Woodpecker is Marsai Martin.
“The voice, height and clues.
It’s her,” she exclaimed.
