A video of a past moment between Sean “Diddy” Combs and Bono has gained attention again after Diddy’s recent legal issues.
The clip is from the 2014 Golden Globes, where Diddy awkwardly tried to kiss Bono on stage.
Bono, however, pulled away at the last moment, making the situation uncomfortable.
In the video, Diddy was on stage to present the Best Original Song award, which went to U2 for their song “Ordinary Love.”
The Edge, U2’s guitarist, hugged Diddy without hesitation, but when Diddy turned to Bono and leaned in for a kiss on the cheek, Bono seemed to avoid it and quickly went to the microphone to give his acceptance speech.
The video has now gone viral on social media. Many users commented on the awkwardness of the moment.
One user on X (formerly Twitter) joked about how Bono seemed to reject Diddy’s kiss. Another found the moment funny and noted that Diddy looked around to see if anyone noticed the rejection. Others wondered if Bono had any suspicions about Diddy even back then.

An insider explained that Bono likely had no knowledge of Diddy’s alleged actions at the time, but Bono still feels uncomfortable thinking about the incident.
According to the source, Bono’s body language suggested he wanted to avoid the interaction with Diddy even then.
This resurfaced clip has gained attention because of Diddy’s ongoing legal troubles. Last month, Diddy was arrested and charged with sex trafficking and racketeering.
Since his arrest, more victims, including minors, have come forward with allegations against him.

Reports state that during a raid on Diddy’s homes, federal agents found disturbing evidence, including videos and images of inappropriate events he called “freak offs,” which involved multiple victims.
Diddy has denied all charges, saying he is not guilty. The accusations against him date back to 2008, with claims that he mistreated and threatened women to fulfill his own desires and protect his image.
During the investigation, unmarked weapons, 1000 bottles of baby oil other items were also found at his Miami home. His case has now been reassigned to a new judge.
