“He knows better than to be talking about the things that he does with big brother Puff on national television.”
A clip of Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs and Justin Bieber appearing on Jimmy Kimmel Live has recently resurfaced amid the disgraced rapper’s arrest.
The 54-year-old has been arrested on charges of racketeering, sex trafficking, and transportation to engage in prostitution, as well as facing sexual assault and violent abuse allegations.
He has pled not guilty to all charges, and has been denied bail twice.
In the wake of the allegations, clips of Combs have resurfaced, including Combs’ appearance alongside a then-16-year-old Bieber back on a 2011 episode of Jimmy Kimmel’s talk show.
“What’s going on with you guys? Are you working together?” Kimmel asked Combs.
“I think that we have become friends in a strange way,” Combs responded.
“It’s like Rob and Big,” Bieber said, in reference to skateboarder Rob Dyrdek and his bodyguard Christopher “Big Black” Boykin.
“I’m Big and you’re Rob,” Bieber added.
“I mean, to a lot of us, he’s like a little brother,” Combs said. “‘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 wanna protect him because he’s genuinely such a nice person besides his talents,” he continued, via New York Post.
“He’s one of the greatest kids you could ever know.”
“You know, Diddy bought his son a Bentley, maybe he could buy you one also while you’re at it,” Kimmel then joked.
“He got me a Lamborghini,” Bieber chimed back. “I haven’t gotten it yet, though.”
“When is that coming? That Lamborghini,” Kimmel asked. “We talked about this last time.”
“The Lamborghini for a day or two and he had access to the house,” Combs said. “And he knows better than to be talking about the things that he does with big brother Puff on national television. Everything ain’t for everybody.”

The resurfaced clip comes after Bieber, now 30 years old, opened up about his experiences as a child in the music industry.
“It was hard for me being that young and being in the industry and not knowing where to turn, and everyone telling me they loved me, and turn their back on you in a second,” the ‘Baby’ singer told Zane Lowe in an interview back in 2020.
He went on to explain how he wants to ‘protect’ fellow young artist Billie Eilish, who was just 18 at the time.
“I don’t want her to go through anything I went through. I don’t wish that upon anybody.”
There is currently no evidence linking Bieber, or any of the other celebrities linked to Combs’ parties, to any of the allegations.
“He’s aware of Diddy’s arrest and all the allegations,” an insider recently told People about Bieber. “It’s not anything that he wants to focus on, though.”
