"Diddy wouldn't have known if Justin Bieber was wearing a wire in this video just by tapping his chest," one person noted, questioning the plausibility of the theory. Another sarcastically responded, "Yeah, that's exactly how people check for wires. Tapping on random places rather than just using a flat palm."
Others dismissed the idea, suggesting that the contact was likely innocent. “He’s poking him while speaking to get his point across. People do that all the time,” one user said. However, some remained suspicious, calling Diddy "suspect" and labeling him as "strange" and a "weirdo."
The video has gained traction on X (formerly Twitter), with viewers divided over its meaning. Some have referred to Diddy's past interactions with Bieber as uncomfortable, particularly due to Bieber's young age at the time. A later video shows Diddy commenting that Bieber had "changed" after he stopped wanting to spend time with him.
This comes amid serious allegations against Diddy which include abusing, coercing, and threatening victims to satisfy his desires, maintain his reputation, and hide his misconduct. He has since been charged with sex trafficking, forced labour, kidnapping, bribery, arson, and obstructing justice
