Footage of an interaction between Sean ‘Diddy‘ Combs and Justin Bieber has gone viral following the rapper’s arrest.
Diddy has been charged with a host of sex trafficking and racketeering offenses with upwards of 120 victims already coming forward.
A resurfaced video of Diddy, 54, and Justin, 30, hugging has sparked speculation that Diddy was checking to see if the pop star was wearing a wire.
In the clip, believed to be filmed in 2021, the pair are seen hugging with Diddy giving Justin multiple pats on the back and chest.
The video was shared on X by a user who wrote: ‘Diddy appears to be checking Justin Bieber to see if he is wearing a wire in this video’.

Several users commented on the video with their own speculation with some writing: ‘He definitely was’… ‘1000% is lmao’.
‘He checking that man out for a wire bro’… ‘Bieber doesn’t even know what’s going on’… ‘100% is’.
Justin is said to be ‘disgusted’ by the allegations against Diddy, who was a mentor to him early in his music career.
The new father has been ‘advised to stay as far away as possible from anything and everything related to Diddy,’ a source close to Justin told Us Weekly.
But that directive hasn’t been an issue for Justin, who reportedly wants ‘nothing to do’ with the music mogul.
A second source said Justin ‘is in a hard place mentally right now’ as he struggles to come to terms with the allegations against Diddy.
‘He has such a history with Diddy and the allegations against him have been hard to process.’
Questions have been raised over why those responsible for Jusitn allowed Diddy to become something of a mentor to him as a child.

Sources close to Justin exclusively told the Daily Mail that he ‘should never have been allowed to party with Diddy or anyone else when he was a teen.’
They claim he was ‘thrown to the wolves’ by his mother Pattie Mallette and largely absent father Jeremy Bieber.
Diddy was hit with an indictment accusing him of years of coercion and abuse while using blackmail and violence to control his victims.
He has also been accused of inducing female victims and male sex workers into drugged-up, sometimes days-long sexual performances referred to as ‘Freak Offs.’
In November 2009, a 15-year-old Bieber spent a now-infamous 48-hour period with Diddy seemingly unsupervised at the rapper’s home.
In a video taken during that time and shared to YouTube by Bieber, Diddy, then 40, turns to the camera and says: ‘He’s having 48 hours with Diddy, where we hanging out [sic] and what we’re doing we can’t really disclose.
‘But it’s definitely a 15-year-old’s dream. We’re gonna go full, buck full crazy.’

In 2009, Combs ceased hosting his famous ‘White Parties’ for A-list friends and allegedly ramped up his seedier, notorious ‘Freak-Offs’ at which many of the crimes listed in the New York indictment are said to have taken place
Fears have been mounting for Bieber’s mental health in the wake of Diddy’s arrest.
In 2009, Combs ceased hosting his famous ‘White Parties’ for A-list friends and allegedly ramped up his seedier, notorious ‘Freak-Offs’ at which many of the crimes listed in the New York indictment are said to have taken place.
Combs pleaded not guilty to the charges against him and was denied bail, despite his legal team’s request for him to be released for $50 million and kept electronically monitored.
