The “Finna Get Loose” rapper has left many individuals concerned after a viral clip showed him gushing about Bieber being one of the “greatest kids” while also imploring him to keep details of their hangouts under wraps.
In the unearthed video, Diddy and a then-16-year-old Bieber appeared on the late-night talk show “Jimmy Kimmel Live!” in 2011, where the host pressed to know what the nature of their relationship was at the time.
“What’s going on with you guys? Are you working together?” Kimmel asked in the clip, per Page Six.
Diddy responded, “No … We’ve become friends in a strange way,” before explaining, “To a lot of us, he’s like a little brother … He’s not afraid to call and ask for advice.”

After the rousing applause from the audience settled, Kimmel suggested that perhaps Diddy could buy Bieber a car as he did with his son back then.
“He got me a Lamborghini — I just haven’t gotten it yet,” Bieber quickly replied, which prompted Diddy to look off to the side with an irritated gesture.
“He had the Lamborghini for a day or two, and he had access to the house,” Diddy finally said. “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 cryptic exchange has left many fans speculating what the nature of the relationship between the pair was at the time, especially in light of Diddy’s recent criminal indictment on sex trafficking.

“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,” Diddy said of Bieber. “I don’t have legal guardianship of him [Bieber], but for the next 48 hours, he’s with me, and we’re gonna go full crazy.”
“Where we [are] hanging out and what we [are] doing, we can’t really disclose, but it’s definitely a 15-year-old’s dream,” Diddy added in the clip.
