The ongoing speculation about Diddy and the recent raid of his home by federal agents has led to discussions regarding the rapper and his conduct over the decades.
In particular, people are talking about footage of Diddy with Justin Bieber when the 'Sorry' singer was just 15.

While Diddy, real name Sean Combs, has found himself in his fair share of legal trouble over the years, it has not stopped him from being a major name in the music world, dating back to his debut in 1990.
Earlier this week, Diddy's homes in Miami and Los Angeles were raided by Homeland Security, in what was reportedly linked to a sex trafficking investigation.
It has not been confirmed if Diddy was the target of the Homeland Security investigation.
In the wake of the controversy, the internet has begun remembering strange things the rapper has done and said in the past.
Most notably, videos from the late 2000s and early 2010s resurfaced of him and a teenage Justin Bieber has led to the internet weighing in on their perception of the rapper.
In the first video, in which Bieber is just 15 years old, Diddy discusses hanging out with the young artist, saying that they’re going to 'go wild' for the following 48 hours.
Diddy says in the video: "Where we're hanging out and what we're doing, we can't really disclose, but it's definitely a 15-year-old's dream
"For the next 48 hours, he's with me. And we're gonna go full. Buck full crazy."
Another video filmed a couple of years later revealed that Diddy believed Bieber 'changed' because he no longer wanted to hang out with the veteran artist.
The videos spread quite quickly, garnering over 8 million views on X in less than 24 hours and drawing the ire of many people online.
“It's super creepy seeing all these videos of Diddy that's coming out,” noted the poster of the two resurfaced videos.
While the videos in no way confirm Diddy’s guilt in the ongoing federal investigation, some took issue with the tone of his comments to the teenage Bieber.
“Super sketchy,” noted one commenter.
Diddy, now 54, was in his early 40s when the videos with Bieber took place, leading one commenter to ask simply: “What 40 year old wants to ‘hang out’ with a 15 year old? Unless, of course, it's your child or a close relative.”
UNILAD has contacted Diddy's representative for a comment.
Diddy's attorney Aaron Dyer previously said of the Homeland Security raid in a statement to NPR: "Yesterday, there was a gross overuse of military-level force as search warrants were executed at Mr. Combs' residences.
"There is no excuse for the excessive show of force and hostility exhibited by authorities or the way his children and employees were treated."
He added that the raid was 'a premature rush to judgment of Mr. Combs and is nothing more than a witch hunt based on meritless accusations made in civil lawsuits'.
He said: "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."
