A resurfaced clip from 2011 shows rapper Diddy jokingly warning Justin Bieber to ‘stay quiet’ about ‘the things he does with Puff’ on a chat show
In a chilling moment caught on camera, Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs seems to humorously instruct Justin Bieber to keep mum about “the things he does with Puff”.
The fallen hip-hop mogul was featured with a then-teenaged Justin on a 2011 episode of Jimmy Kimmel Live. Now 54, Diddy has been apprehended and is currently behind bars awaiting his trial after facing charges including sex trafficking, transportation for prostitution, and racketeering.
Additionally, he confronts accusations of sexual abuse and violence, all of which he has contested.
A clip that has recently resurfaced shows Kimmel questioning a 41 year old Diddy during the show: “What’s going on with you guys? Are you working together? ” To which Diddy responded: “Nah. I think that we have become friends in a strange way.”

Justin light-heartedly compared their friendship to “Rob and Big”, alluding to American skateboard celebrity Rob Dyrdek and his ex-bodyguard Christopher ‘Big Black’ Boykin, who starred in an MTV reality show by that name in the mid-2000s.
Diddy went on to say: “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 have our arms around and we want to protect him, because he’s such genuinely a nice person besides his talents. He’s one of the greatest kids you could ever know.”
Kimmel teased Justin about luxury cars, noting: “You know, Diddy bought his son a Bentley, maybe he can buy you one also while he’s at it.”
Justin prompted laughter with his response: “He got me a Lamborghini. I haven’t gotten it yet though.”
Delving further into the jest, Jimmy pressed on, “When is it coming that Lamborghini? We talked about this last time,” only to have Diddy humorously imply: “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.”
The Mirror is seeking comments from Justin and Diddy’s representatives for more insights.
Looking back, Justin turned 30, and his connection with Diddy dates to 2009 when they hit it off at the VMAs. Shortly prior, Justin had inked a deal with Usher, who shared an abode with Diddy during his early days in music.
Usher has been vocal about the influence Diddy had on his life, confessing that Diddy exposed him to vices prematurely and telling MTV in 2010 that none of Diddys guidance would he pass along.
