Who Are Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs’ Close Friends? Inside His Inner Circle

Justin Bieber met and bonded with Combs through Usher.

In November 2009, Bieber released a YouTube video titled, “JUSTIN BIEBER’s 48 HRS with DIDDY!!” The update showed him and Combs hanging out at the latter’s mansion.

After Combs’ arrest, another resurfaced video from December 2010 captured their awkward exchanges while at a recording studio.

Combs asked: “What’s up man, you good? Selling out arenas and everything? Starting to act different, huh? You haven’t been calling me and hanging out the way we used to hang out.”

They collaborated on songs and albums in the years thereafter, but the Baby hitmaker reportedly regretted their ties after Combs’ arrest.

An insider told Daily Mail: “So many people who helped to make him who he is were very close to Diddy and it has completely thrown him. Justin hasn’t been responding on this since the home raids. He’s not going to.

“He had a long break from Diddy when he believes most of this took place and he had distanced himself from him. He was featured on Diddy’s most recent album, and had he known any of this, there is no way he would have done it.”
