Following the rapper’s allegations, people have dubbed a video of 40-year-old Sean “Diddy” Combs hanging out with 15-year-old Justin Bieber “super scary.”

Combs, 54, was arrested in New York City on Monday (September 16) after facing multiple charges of rape and sexual abuse.

Combs faces racketeering conspiracy and sex trafficking charges in a federal indictment released on Tuesday.

His lawyer, Marc Agnifilo, stated that the rapper was ‘not guilty’.
“He’s innocent of these charges,” Agnifilo told journalists.

The charges follow months of controversy after authorities raided Combs’ Los Angeles home in March.

Following the raid, social media users began viewing recordings of Combs in a new light, particularly those showing the rapper hanging out with a then-teenage Justin Bieber.

In one video, shot when Bieber was 15 years old, Combs talked of hanging out with the young singer and said they were going to ‘go wild’ for 48 hours.

“Where we’re hanging out and what we’re doing, we can’t really disclose, but it’s a 15-year-old’s dream,” Combs said.

“For the next 48 hours, he is with me. And we’re going to go all out.” Buck is full of madness.”

A few years later, another video revealed that Diddy believed Bieber had ‘changed’ and no longer desired to hang out with the rapper.

After emerging online, the films instantly went viral, garnering millions of views in only hours.

One Twitter user who shared the videos wrote, “It’s super creepy seeing all these Diddy videos that are coming out.”
Another said, “Super sketchy.”

“What 40-year-old wants to ‘hang out’ with a 15-year-old? Unless, of course, it’s your child or a close family,” said a third.

Damian Williams, US attorney for the Southern District of New York, spoke about the charges against Combs in a news conference on Tuesday, claiming that ‘between at least 2008 and the present, Combs abused, threatened, and coerced victims to fulfill his sexual desires, protect his reputation, and conceal his conduct’.

“Sean Combs led and participated in a racketeering conspiracy that used the business empire he controlled to carry out criminal activity, including sex trafficking, forced labor, kidnapping, arson, bribery, and the obstruction of justice,” according to the report.

Williams stated that the inquiry against Combs is still underway.
