Diddy once gave an awkward response after he was asked if he had any involvement in the death of Tupac Shakur.
The rapper, 54, was on Breakfast Club Power when he faced the uncomfortable question. You can watch the tense moment below:
The interview took place last year, but just this week, new court documents allege that Duane Davis, 61 - who is accused of being responsible for Tupac's 1996 death - implicated Sean John Combs in the murder back in 2009, when he was interviewed with the Las Vegas Metropolitan Police.

According to Fox5Vegas, the doc was filed by the Clark County District Attorney's Office on July 18.
In it, Davis reportedly implied that Diddy 'paid Eric Von Martin a million dollars for the killings'.
Diddy has never been charged or even named as a suspect in the case - meanwhile Davis says that he 'wasn’t trying to provide evidence against anyone else in his conversations with police'.
However, the footnote of the doc allegedly reads: “This statement belies this claim, as [Davis] suggested that Sean Combs paid Eric Von Martin a million dollars for the killings as well as offered to set up a surreptitious phone call with Terrence Brown, the driver, who, at the time, was still alive."
The documents also reportedly contain a transcript of an interview of Davis with detectives from Las Vegas Metropolitan Police.
The US Sun claims to have heard the audio recording from the interview, which allegedly sees Davis claim Combs said he wanted both Tupac and record executive Marion Hugh 'Suge' Knight Jr dead.
On the tape, Davis allegedly accuses Combs of saying: "Man I want to get rid of those dudes."
Diddy has denied such allegations and UNILAD has contacted Clark County District Attorney's Office and Diddy's lawyer, Aaron Dyer, for comment.
Tupac died in Las Vegas in 1996 six days after he was shot in the chest four times at a stoplight by a gunman driving a white Cadillac.
Prior to the shooting, a casino brawl had taken place earlier in the evening involving Shakur and several others.
The case has yet to be resolved, with the 25-year-old musician's killer still not having been found some 27 years later.
During last year's Breakfast Club interview, Diddy was questioned about Tupac's death.
The musician told interviewers that he appreciated they were doing their job in asking, asserting: "We don't talk about things that are nonsense, we don't entertain nonsense, with all due respect, but I appreciate you as a journalist asking, thank you."
Tupac's family have since addressed Davis' arrest, as the rapper's stepbrother Mopreme Shakur told CNN the news is 'bittersweet'.
"We have been through decades of pain. They have known about this guy, who been running his mouth, for years."
Mopreme continued. "He's [Davis'] been telling them the same story the whole time for 27 years. So why now? For us, this is not over. We want to know why, and if there were any accomplices.
"We're in a constant state of grief and remorse and pain because we have to relive it and relive what happened and think about, you know, is just as difficult."
Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Lieutenant Jason Johansson said in a news conference police believe Davis is the only living suspect related to the investigation of Shakur's murder.
Lt. Johansson said: "Duane Davis was that shot caller for this group of individuals that committed this crime. He orchestrated the plan that was carried out to commit this crime. [...] All other three suspects are deceased."
This comes after Diddy was seen in video footage from 2016 assaulting his ex-girlfriend, leading to him releasing a public apology on Instagram.
