Footage of Diddy slapping Jay-Z’s bottom TWICE on stage resurfaces

Unearthed footage captured the moment Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs slapped Jay-Z’s bottom twice on stage in another bizarre encounter.

The moment came during 2007’s Screamfest music festival, as the disgraced rap mogul performed with T.I., 50 Cent, and Jay-Z.

As the camera panned across the four rappers on stage, Diddy leant over and aggressively spanked Jay-Z twice – although it did little to elicit a reaction from him.

The odd move was used by 50 Cent online amid his ongoing feud with Diddy, as he shared the video to his Instagram in a since-deleted post earlier this year.

‘Diddy in the back, pattin on n***as butts,’ he captioned the post. ‘Nah I ain’t wit it, I ain’t never been wit it.’

The footage from the music festival resurfaced amid growing scrutiny on Diddy’s behavior in the wake of his indictment last week in New York, where he was charged with crimes including sex trafficking and racketeering.

The arrest came six months after federal authorities raided Diddy’s mansions in Los Angeles and Miami, where they allegedly found over 1,000 bottles of baby oil and lubricant.

This was allegedly used in Diddy’s ‘freak offs’, where prosecutors claimed he coerced victims into performing marathon sexual sessions with prostitutes.

Amid claims that Diddy’s A-list friends would attend these parties, the shocking allegations have led to a renewed focus on his interactions with famous figures over the years.

This week, viewers also brought up an eyebrow raising exchange Diddy had on The Graham Norton Show in 2011, when he said he wanted to invite Prince William and Prince Harry to his ‘Diddy parties.’

He said he had hoped to spend time with the royals ‘before, when they were young bucks growing up and they were getting in a lot of trouble themselves.’

Another former A-list pal of Diddy’s who has been brought into the spotlight in recent days is Justin Bieber, who was taken under the producer’s wing when he burst onto the scene as a 15-year-old.

He has since been seen in resurfaced footage appearing uncomfortable around the rapper in the years after they met.

In the days after Diddy’s arrest, fans of Bieber also latched onto a 2020 clip of the star breaking down in tears as he spoke of wanting to protect Billie Eilish from the music industry.

Bieber, now 30, has been in the industry since he was a teen and over the years has battled mental health problems in the spotlight.

Back in 2020, when Bieber was promoting his album Changes and Billie Eilish had exploded on the scene, he reached out to her to offer industry insights and support.

‘I just want to protect her. I don’t want her to go through anything I went through. I don’t wish that upon anybody,’ Bieber said, fighting back tears.

Speaking candidly about his broader struggles in the industry during the album promotional tour, Bieber said: ‘It was bad… It was dark.

‘Think about how young I was and so impressionable and you have everybody telling me how awesome I am at all times… I just want people to understand the psychology of why I potentially could have problems in my life.’
