It seems Mike Tyson had an inkling about Sean “Diddy” Combs long before the rapper’s arrest on September 17 in New York, where he faced serious charges of sex trafficking and racketeering—an explosive scandal that has rocked the entertainment world.

Amid this turmoil, an old video has resurfaced, showcasing an awkward moment between the boxing legend and the rap mogul, where Tyson clearly sets boundaries by distancing himself from Diddy. This incident serves as a stark reminder of what “Diddy” was capable of doing ‘subtly’ on television, and Tyson appeared to pick up on those intentions immediately. If this was how Combs behaved in public, one can only wonder what he might have done in private.

The encounter took place during an appearance on Keenan Ivory Wayans’ talk show back in 1998, but it has gained renewed significance in light of Diddy’s recent arrest.

Diddy’s Arrest in New York

Sean “Diddy” Combs has been accused of coercing female victims into participating in sexual shows known as “Freak Offs.” This follows raids in March at his residences in Miami and Los Angeles, where authorities seized items that could provide evidence of the activities occurring within these homes.

Shortly after Diddy’s arrest in New York, a federal indictment was revealed by NBC News, alleging conspiracy to engage in racketeering, sex trafficking, and transportation for prostitution.

Given the circumstances, it’s no surprise that Mike Tyson reacted strongly to Diddy’s subtle moves during their interaction. The boxing legend is known for his candid demeanor and refuses to be intimidated by anyone, even while on live television.
