A video of music mogul Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs spending a weekend with Justin Bieber 15 years ago has resurfaced online, with fans claiming the clip has “aged horribly” amid the shocking allegations against the rapper.
A 15-year-old video has resurfaced showing a teenage Justin Bieber documenting his 48 hours with Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs during a weekend away.
The video, documented by an excited 15-year-old Bieber just starting to climb the ranks, still remains on his official YouTube channel with many fans concerned about the footage existing for several years without raising any questions.
The clip has attracted a fresh wave of attention amid ongoing sexual assault allegations against Combs who had just marked his 40th birthday at the time of the YouTube video being published in 2009.
“When you’re 16, you’re good to go, when you’re 18, you get the house, you get the mansion,” he told a young Bieber in the two-minute video.
The video, titled “Justin Bieber’s 48 hours with Diddy”, starts with Combs gifting the Baby singer a luxury vehicle, with the pair then lifting the new-car cover off for the camera.
Joking that he held his driving permit, Bieber told Combs he could “ride in the passenger’s seat”.
“Not yet, slow down Justin, slow down… when you are 16, you are good to go,” Combs replied as he gave Bieber a handshake.
Combs then addressed the camera to describe to viewers what his 48 hours with Bieber would look like, claiming it was “definitely a 15-year-old’s dream”.
He then bragged the pair were going to go “buck fool crazy”.
“Where we’re hanging out and what we’re doing, we can’t really disclose, but it’s definitely a 15-year-old’s dream. I have been given custody of him,” he told the camera.
“He’s signed to Usher – I had legal guardianship of Usher when he did his first album.
“I don’t really have legal guardianship of him, but for the next 48 hours he’s with me. And we’re gonna go full buck fool crazy.”

Adding to the antics, Diddy asked his compadre what he wished to do for the weekend to which Bieber replied: “Let’s just go get some girls, let’s go hang out with some girls.”
“A man after my heart – that’s what I’m talkin’ bout,” Combs said as the duo shook hands and walked away from the camera.
Thousands of viewers commented on the video sharing their collective shock at the content of the footage, many questioning how the clip is still up amid the claims against Diddy.
“You can tell that Justin is putting a fake smile but you can really see in his eyes that he’s scared and hurt behind closed doors. No child deserves to go through this,” one user commented.
“The blood-chilling dread of not knowing what occurred after the camera stopped recording,” another claimed.
“Nobody gets those kinds of extravagant gifts for nothing,” another user speculated.

“How did anybody not catch this 14yrs ago? We’ve got to do better this time around,” a fourth questioned, which was echoed by many other commentators.
“48 hours with Diddy sounds like a horror movie,” another chimed in.
“This aged horribly,” a sixth declared.
Bieber, now 30-years-old, has recently welcomed a baby boy with wife Hailey Bieber, with reports claiming he has no intention of addressing the speculations around Combs’ lawsuits.
After Combs’ arrest in New York just last week, the hip-hop mogul is currently in federal custody awaiting his trial on charges of racketeering and sex trafficking
