Following the raid on his home as part of an investigation, a video of Diddy having an awkward encounter with Justin Bieber has resurfaced online.
Diddy, real name Sean Combs, has been a hot topic of debate both on social media and in the news.
Earlier this week, police raided the homes of the 54-year-old music star and producer in connection with a sex trafficking investigation being conducted by federal agents.

This has sparked widespread speculation regarding Diddy’s potential involvement, most notably due to the previous sexual assault allegations with longterm partner Cassie.
While Diddy did not comment on matters at the time, his attorney has now provided a statement about the raid.
His attorney said in the statement: "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: "Mr. Combs was never detained but spoke to and cooperated with authorities.
"Despite media speculation, neither Mr. Combs nor any of his family members have been arrested nor has their ability to travel been restricted in any way."
Since then, however, old videos of the rapper and a young Justin Bieber have begun to circulate.
One video, shot when the pop star was 17, has proven to be particularly unnerving for multiple social media users.

The clip, which appears to show the pair in a music studio, starts with Diddy confronting Bieber.
“You starting to act different, huh? You ain't been calling me or hanging out how we used to hang out,” Diddy said.
The young Bieber then began stuttering before saying that the rapper had tried to contact him by having his people contact his people.
He then said Diddy never actually got his number and offered to give it to him.

The video has had multiple people questioning Diddy’s attitude and behavior, with many calling him creepy.
“He was obviously uncomfortable and trying to be nice in this moment but clearly didn’t know what to say. He was just a kid,” one user wrote.
“Super sketchy. We'll all find out what he's been up too,” another wrote.

Despite many condemning the video, a longer version of the full encounter has been available on the internet for years.
Diddy later claimed he was joking with his attitude and praised Bieber for supporting his music, before the pair began joking and promoting the rapper’s then upcoming album, Last Train To Paris.
UNILAD has contacted Diddy representatives for comment.
