Justin Bieber and Puff Daddy had an uncomfortable exchange in a resurfaced video from 2010. In the clip, Diddy and Bieber are seen together in a recording studio catching up when the music mogul questions a then-teenage Bieber. “What’s up man, you good?” Diddy asks a seemingly uncomfortable Bieber. “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,” he added.
Bieber appears to be taken aback by the remarks, shuffling a bit while saying, “Well I mean, you haven’t … you tried to get in contact with me through all my, you know, my partners and whatnot, but you never really got my number. So, you want my number? I’m gonna tell you my number.” Diddy then presents Bieber and his manager, Scooter Braun, with Dirty Money jackets and teaches the singer the art of the “swag walk.”
In another YouTube video posted to Bieber’s channel in 2009, Puff Daddy and a 15-year-old Bieber are seen together in what was titled “JUSTIN BIEBER’s 48 HRS with DIDDY!!” In the vlog, Diddy says, “… What we’re doing we can’t really disclose. But it’s definitely a 15-year-old’s dream … I have been given custody of him.” When the music executive asks Bieber how he wants to spend his day during the awkward exchange, the singer replies, “Let’s just go get some girls,” to which Diddy replies, “A man after my heart, that’s what I’m talking about.”
