Diddy claimed he's been 'documenting everything in his life' since 1992, according to a resurfaced interview.
Director Cole Bennett said on a 2022 podcast that the rapper stressed to him the importance of 'bringing a camera everywhere'.
Music video director Bennett has worked with the likes of Eminem, Kanye West and J. Cole.
While he's never collaborated with Diddy, he was invited to his place for dinner. The rapper seemed eager to impart his wisdom on Bennett.

Speaking to the Full Send podcast two years ago, Bennett recalled the 'wonderful' tip Diddy had given him.
Bennett said: "Diddy invited me over for dinner a couple of months ago, he told me, he gave me a piece of advice.
"He said, because everything was recorded, there’s a camera at all times. He’s like ‘I’ve been documenting everything in my life since 1992… I have footage of everything.. make sure you bring a camera everywhere, it’s important’."
Bennett went on to add that Diddy said he recorded everything so he could look back on those times ‘fondly’.
It comes as the I'll Be Missing You hitmaker - real name Sean Combs - is facing charges of sex trafficking, drug possession and firearms offences, with an indictment claiming he allegedly encouraged female victims into sexual performances with male sex workers which were dubbed 'freak offs'.
The 'elaborate and produced sex performances that Combs arranged, directed, masturbated during' were 'often electronically recorded,' according to an indictment.
Meanwhile, more than 100 people came forward to accuse Diddy of sexual assault, and have gone on to file suits against Diddy this week.
Houston-based lawyer Tony Buzbee is representing the men and women who accuse Diddy - real name Sean Combs - of sexual abuse and exploitation, spanning across 25 states.
Some cases are said to date back as far as 1991, when some of the accusers were children. Diddy 'emphatically and categorically' denies all charges, his attorney Erica Wolff told UNILAD.
A trial date has not yet been set, and Diddy has been denied bail twice.
In the wake of this week's allegations, attorney Wolff said: "As Mr. Combs’ legal team has emphasized, he cannot address every meritless allegation in what has become a reckless media circus.
"That said, Mr. Combs emphatically and categorically denies as false and defamatory any claim that he sexually abused anyone, including minors.
"He looks forward to proving his innocence and vindicating himself in court, where the truth will be established based on evidence, not speculation."
