Justin Bieber and Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs Didn’t Actually Spend 48 Hours Together, Ex-Bodyguard Says
Federal agents arrested hip-hop mogul Sean “Diddy” Combs in September 2024 on charges of sex trafficking, racketeering conspiracy, and transportation to engage in prostitution. In light of the charges and the Homeland Security raids on two of Combs’ properties in March 2024, fans are looking back at the viral clip showing Combs hanging out with Justin Bieber. Here’s what Combs’ former bodyguard said about the clip.
A viral clip shows Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs and Justin Bieber allegedly spending 48 hours together in LA
Justin Bieber spent time with Sean “Diddy” Combs when he was just 15. A viral clip posted to Reddit shows Combs and Bieber talking about their 48 hours in Los Angeles together. The clip starts with Combs and Bieber discussing how Bieber is too young to drive one of Combs’ cars.
“You ever see the movie 48 Hours? Right now, he’s having 48 hours with Diddy, him and his boy, they’re having the times of their lives,” Combs tells the camera. “Where we hanging out and what we doing; we can’t really disclose. But it’s definitely a 15-year-old’s dream. I have been given custody of him.”
The viral clip has gained new attention following Combs’ arrest in September 2024. Folks following the case are wondering what went down between Bieber and Combs during their 48 hours, as Bieber hasn’t publicly acknowledged Combs’ arrest.
Combs’ former bodyguard spoke about Combs and Bieber’s time together. “I [saw] Bieber when he was 15, and actually, in that excerpt inside the house when [Combs] was like: ‘You want one of these?’ and it was a Lamborghini, [Combs] actually told me to pull the Lamborghini out front, I pulled it out front and it was me, him, and Scooter [Braun],” the bodyguard said in an interview clip posted to Reddit.
The bodyguard added that Combs and Bieber didn’t actually spend 48 hours together. “It was just one of those phone calls, basically: ‘I’m in town, bring Justin by. I want you to highlight him for a little while,'” the guard elaborated. “And he just hollered at him. They ain’t stay together for 48 hours and all that. He was just talking s*** right there. He stayed there for about an hour, two.”
Justin Bieber is staying focused on ‘being a great dad,’ a source says

The insider said Bieber has “been in a happy bubble since baby Jack was born.”

The ‘One Less Lonely Girl’ singer reflected on how hard it felt to grow up in the music industry
Justin Bieber signed to Usher’s label in 2008 and quickly became a music sensation. Unfortunately, Bieber didn’t have an easy time with fame. In 2020, he reflected on the difficulties of achieving fame at a young age while speaking with Apple Music’s Zane Lowe. He also said he wanted to protect Billie Eilish.
“It was hard for me being that young and being in the industry and not knowing where to turn, and everyone telling me they loved me, and turn their back on you in a second,” Bieber said.
“I don’t want her to go through anything I went through,” he continued regarding Eilish. “I don’t wish that upon anybody.”
