A representative of Justin Bieber has spoken out amid Diddy’s sex trafficking trial.

In September last year, Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs was indicted by a grand jury and arrested at the Park Hyatt hotel in Manhattan, New York.

The 55-year-old was charged with racketeering conspiracy, two charges of sex trafficking and two charges of transportation to engage in prostitution – the rapper having denied all charges.

On Monday (May 12), his sex-trafficking trial commenced in Manhattan with multiple people called to the stand to testify, including former partner Casandra ‘Cassie’ Ventura who accused Combs of assault, rape and blackmail.

When Combs was first arrested and his LA house raided by authorities in March last year, footage resurfaced online of the musician – including a clip of him and Justin Bieber.

In one video, filmed when Bieber was 15, Combs spoke about hanging out with the young singer and claimed they were going to ‘go wild’.

“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,” Combs said.

He continued: “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 had ‘changed’ because he no longer wanted to hang out with the rapper.

In 2011, the pair also both appeared on Jimmy Kimmel Live! with Combs saying: “[Bieber] knows better than to be talking about things that he does with Big Brother Puff on national television.”

The videos quickly spread after resurfacing online, racking up millions of views in a matter of hours.

And with rumors having been swirling surrounding Combs’ relationship to Bieber as a result of his ongoing sex trafficking trial, Bieber’s representative has since spoken out.

A representative for Bieber told TMZ on Thursday (May 15): “Although Justin is not among Sean Combs’ victims, there are individuals who were genuinely harmed by him.

“Shifting focus away from this reality detracts from the justice these victims rightfully deserve.”

It follows ‘sources’ also speaking to the outlet.

Sources – some of who are reported as being ‘right at the center of Justin’s life’ – reportedly told the outlet Combs and Bieber’s public appearances together were solely ‘performative’ and they weren’t friends – Bieber friends with his sons instead.

The sources echoed Combs never abused Bieber in any way.

A Jimmy Kimmel Live! clip has resurfaced on the internet following the arrest of Sean “Diddy” Combs for sex trafficking and racketeering charges.

The interview sees the Bad Boy Records founder in a conversation with Jimmy Kimmel less than a year ago.

On the popular TV show Jimmy Kimmel Live! Diddy was seemingly put on the spot when Kimmel asked P.Diddy: “I saw a guy on the internet the other day. He said he used to be your security guard.

“He said that when you were dating J.Lo, Will Smith and Jada tried to pick her up on a threesome and you were gonna beat up Will Smith. Is that true?”

Pausing before proceeding to answer, Diddy replied: “Well this show has gotten crazier since the last time I was here.”

Upon further probing, eventually, the now 54-year-old denied the claim by responding: “No! No, you really heard that?”

Jennifer Lopez and Diddy were in a romantic relationship from 1999 to 2001. But the two also collaborated musically on a 2000 remix of Feelin So Good.

The Jimmy Kimmel interview has been circulating on the internet since Diddy’s arrest on Monday, Sept 16. The list of charges the music mogul has been arrested for includes racketeering conspiracy, sex trafficking by force, fraud, or coercion, and transportation to engage in prostitution. Diddy has refuted these charges, along with his attorney Marc Agnifilo, who also claims that his client is innocent.

Outside the New York courthouse, Agnifilo said: “Mr Combs is a fighter, he’s going to fight this to the end. He’s innocent. He came to New York to establish his innocence. He’s not afraid, he’s not afraid of the charges.

“There’s nothing that the government said in their presentation today that changes anyone’s mind about anything. He’s been looking forward to this day. He’s been looking forward to clearing his name and he’s going to clear his name and we’re going to stand by his side as he does.”

Amid a divorce from Ben Afflick, J.Lo is yet to comment publicly regarding the Diddy allegations. Speaking on her relationship with the rapper in a 2003 Vibe Magazine interview, per Newsweek the star said: “It was the first time I was with someone who wasn’t faithful”. She continued: “I was in this relationship with Puff where I was totally crying, crazy, and going nuts, it really took my whole life in a tailspin.”

Footage of Justin Bieber and P Diddy has gone viral once again following Diddy’s arrest on charges of sex trafficking and racketeering this week.

Diddy, whose real name is Sean Combs, is currently awaiting trial having been indicted by a grand jury. He has pleaded not guilty and strongly denies the allegations.

The rapper was arrested at the Park Hyatt hotel in Manhattan, New York, on Monday evening (September 16).

Yesterday (September 18), text messages allegedly exchanged between the 54-year-old and one of the alleged victims were read out by prosecutors in court.

It was heard that the alleged victim text Combs ‘I feel like I’m reading my own sexual trauma’, after she read up on the case his ex-girlfriend Cassie Ventura had filed against him in November last year.

He applied for bail offering the judicial system a staggering $50 million but it was turned down for a second time yesterday after the judge branded him a ‘serious flight risk’ with the ‘money, manpower and tools’ to flee.

His attorney Marc Agnifilo remains adamant that the decision to arrest and charge Combs is ‘unjust’, telling UNILAD his client is ‘not a criminal’ and ‘looks forward to clearing his name in court’.

Footage of Combs has since been doing the rounds on social media including one video of him saying bye to Justin Bieber, who has just welcomed his first child into the world.

Diddy can be seen seemingly patting Bieber down, with social media detectives claiming he was making sure he wasn’t in cahoots with the police.

One person took to Twitter to post the video, captioning it: “Diddy appears to be checking Justin Bieber to see if he is wearing a wire in this video.”

But it wasn’t the only video of the two going viral, with another clip branded as ‘creepy’ by fans showing a then 40-year-old Combs with a 15-year-old Bieber.

Speaking to the camera, Combs says: “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.”

One person who shared the video on Twitter commented: “It’s super creepy seeing all these videos of Diddy that’s coming out.”

Another wrote: “Super sketchy.”

While a third added: “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 Combs’ attorney for comment.
