An unsettling interview featuring Diddy and a 15-year-old Justin Bieber has resurfaced online, sparking concerns among viewers. This comes in the wake of Homeland Security conducting raids on Diddy's residences in Miami and Los Angeles as part of a federal sex trafficking investigation.
The video clip shows Diddy making promises to a young Bieber, including allowing him to drive his Lamborghini once he turns 16 the following year. Diddy also mentions that Bieber is spending 48 hours with him and his friend, engaging in undisclosed activities that he describes as a '15-year-old's dream.'
Diddy further claims to have been granted custody of Bieber, citing his past legal guardianship of Usher during the production of Usher's first album. The conversation takes a concerning turn when Diddy and Bieber discuss plans to engage in wild behavior, with Bieber expressing interest in meeting girls.
Following the release of the interview, social media users expressed unease over the interaction between Diddy and Bieber. Another clip surfaced showing Bieber appearing hesitant and stuttering when questioned by Diddy about their lack of recent interactions.
In response to the raids on his properties, Diddy's attorney issued a statement condemning the use of excessive force by Homeland Security. The attorney clarified that Diddy had not been arrested and criticized the search warrant as a premature judgment based on unfounded accusations from civil lawsuits.
The statement emphasized that neither Diddy nor any of his family members had faced arrest or travel restrictions despite media speculation. It characterized the situation as an orchestrated media ambush and dismissed the allegations against Diddy as baseless.
