Footage of Diddy and fifteen-year-old Justin Bieber has emerged online after the rapper faces an ongoing sexual trafficking investigation.
In the clip Diddy, born Sean Love Combs, stands next to the young pop sensation and tells the camera ‘ He’s having forty-eight hours with Diddy, where we hanging out and what we’re doing we can’t really disclose,’ he explained. ‘But it’s definitely a 15-year-old’s dream.’ The hip hop mogul added: ‘I have been given custody of him. He’s signed to Usher and I had legal guardianship of Usher when he did his first album. I don’t have legal guardianship of him [Bieber] but for the next forty-eight hours he’s with me and we’re gonna go full crazy.’
Bieber, wearing a black baseball cap and purple shirt smiles and looks up at Diddy throughout the video, making small comments such as ‘yeah’ and ‘full crazy.’ The video was posted to social media and triggered an outpouring of criticism and concern, with one person labelling the footage ‘creepy’. Another wrote: ‘That’s just every level of creepy.’ Someone else said: ‘The internet truly never forgets.’
It comes as Usher himself claimed he was exposed to some ‘pretty wild’ stuff while living with Diddy aged 14. In an unearthed interview from 2016 Usher revealed details about his time living with the superstar, 54, in the spring of 1994 . While appearing on The Howard Stern Show, the Yeah! hitmaker, 45, alleged that it was LA Reid’s idea to have him live with the R&B singer in Scarsdale to ‘see the lifestyle’. When asked if Diddy’s ‘place was filled with chicks and orgying nonstop’ by Stern, Usher replied: ‘Not really… I got a chance to see some things … I don’t know if I could indulge and even understand what I was looking at. It was pretty wild. It was crazy. There were very curious things taking place and I didn’t necessarily understand it,’ he admitted.
As for whether he would send his children to ‘Puffy Flavor Camp,’ Usher responded with an emphatic: ‘Hell no!’ Back in 2004, Usher told Rolling Stone that Diddy introduced him to ‘a totally different set of [expletive] sexual intercourse specifically.’ ‘[Sexual intercourse] is so hot in the industry, man,’ he continued. ‘There was always girls around. You’d open a door and see somebody doing it, or several people in a room having an [expletive]. You never knew what was going to happen.’ Diddy is currently at the center of sexual trafficking allegations and mounting sexual assault lawsuits.
On Tuesday, he was spotted at a Miami airport hours after Homeland Security raids on his Miami and Los Angeles mansions. Diddy was reportedly questioned by Customs agents at Miami-Opa Locka Executive Airport – about 15 miles south of the investigation at his home – at around 6pm local time. This followed suspicions that the mogul had fled the country when his private jet LoveAir LLC Gulfstream 5 was tracked flying to Antigua. Combs was seen by witnesses with his entourage walking around the Customs office at the Miami airport but was not detained or taken into custody.
While he was stopped by Homeland Security, he was not arrested and remains a free man, according to TMZ. A spokesperson for HSI Miami declined comment. At least two properties belonging to Combs in Los Angeles and Miami were searched Monday by federal Homeland Security Investigations agents and other law enforcement as part of an ongoing sexual trafficking investigation. The rapper, who is facing mounting sexual harassment and [sexual assault] lawsuits, was nowhere to be seen as agents combed through his properties on Monday afternoon, removing boxes and bags of evidence. A police line was set up around the Los Angeles house in the wealthy Holmby Hills neighborhood near Beverly Hills, where at least two men were put in handcuffs.
Armed agents from the Department of Homeland Security entered luxury properties on both East and West Coasts of the United States, with video footage showing helicopters circling overhead. The agents, who were wearing vests, gathered in the home’s backyard near the pool. Multiple law enforcement agents were seen carrying bags and boxes of evidence to a van. A command post was set up outside the house and agents were still entering and leaving hours after the search began. A spokesperson for Homeland Security Investigations told DailyMail.com in a statement: ‘Earlier today, Homeland Security Investigations (HSI) New York executed law enforcement actions as part of an ongoing investigation, with assistance from HSI Los Angeles, HSI Miami, and our local law enforcement partners.’ ‘We will provide further information as it becomes available.’
There was no immediate official confirmation about what precipitated the raids. In a statement on Tuesday evening Diddy’s lawyer’s called the raid’s an ‘unprecedented ambush.’ ‘Yesterday, there was a gross overuse of military-level force as search warrants were executed at Mr Combs’ residences’ attorney Aaron Dyer said. ‘There is no excuse for the excessive show of force and hostility exhibited by authorities or the way his children and employees were treated. Mr Combs was never detained but spoke to and cooperated with authorities.’
‘Despite media speculation, neither Mr. Combs nor any of his family members have been arrested nor has their ability to travel been restricted in any way. This unprecedented ambush – paired with an advanced, coordinated media presence – leads to a premature rush to judgment of Mr Combs and is nothing more than a witch hunt based on meritless accusations made in civil lawsuits.’
Adding: ‘There has been no finding of criminal or civil liability with any of these allegations. Mr. Combs is innocent and will continue to fight every single day to clear his name.’
