A resurfaced interview from 1998 featuring Mike Tyson and Sean “Diddy” Combs has sparked debate on social media about the nature of their interaction. In the clip, which took place on The Keenan Ivory Wayans Show, Tyson can be seen lifting Diddy’s hand off his leg and then shifting his body away from the rapper. While some viewers interpreted this as an indication of an “inappropriate vibe,” others argued that Tyson was merely showing off Diddy’s expensive jewelry to the audience, referencing the phrase “he’s truly about the Benjamins” to highlight the rapper’s wealth.
The video has resurfaced amid serious allegations against Diddy, who was recently arrested and charged with racketeering and sex trafficking. In light of these charges, various clips featuring the rapper have been making rounds online, including one with a young Justin Bieber that many found unsettling. This particular interview with Tyson, however, has divided opinions, with some social media users perceiving discomfort in Tyson’s body language, while others see it as a harmless interaction focused on showcasing Diddy’s luxury accessories.
The clip has prompted varied reactions, with some users describing it as “awkward” and others defending Tyson’s actions as innocuous. The resurfaced footage, in the context of recent allegations, has led to heightened scrutiny of past interactions involving Diddy.
