November 2009: Justin Bieber hangs out with Diddy for 48 hours
Justin Bieber posted a video of him hanging out with Diddy for 48 hours on his YouTube channel. He was 15 years old at the time and Diddy “refused” to disclose what they were up to at the time.
“You ever seen the movie 48 Hrs? Right now [Justin is] having 48 hours with Diddy, him and his boy,” the rapper says in the video. “They’re having the times of their lives.”
“Where we hanging out and what we’re doing we can’t really disclose. But it’s definitely a 15-year-old’s dream,” adds Combs.
Justin, who was signed to Usher’s label at the time, hung out with the rapper with his lavish Lamborghinis at his mansion. “I have been given custody of him,” Diddy continues. “You know, he’s signed to Usher, and I had legal guardianship of Usher when he did his first album. I did Usher’s first album. We’re gonna go full. Buck full crazy.”
When Diddy asked Justin what he wanted to do, the “Baby” singer responded, “Let’s just go get some girls.”
“Man after my heart,” Diddy replied. “That’s what I’m talking about.”

September 2024: Diddy is arrested
Sources told Daily Mail that Justin regrets his collaboration with Diddy and refuses to talk about the arrest. “Bieber is so disturbed by the Diddy news and is unwilling to process it or discuss it so he has shut off,” the source said. So many people who helped to make him who he is were very close to Diddy and it has completely thrown him. Justin hasn’t been responding on this since the home raids. He’s not going to.”
They continued: “He had a long break from Diddy when he believes most of this took place and he had distanced himself from him. He was featured on Diddy’s most recent album, and had he known any of this, there is no way he would have done it”
