Diddy was arrested and is facing serious charges, including sеx trаfficking, rackеteering conspiracy, and transporting individuals for prоstitution. Although he has pleaded not guilty, bail was denied, and he’s currently held at the Metropolitan Detention Center in Brooklyn. The old footage has sparked renewed interest on social media in light of his recent legal troubles.

During the interview, the rapper recounted a story about a New York performance where he took a fall, saying, “I was giving it my all, but I ended up flat on my back. I tried to act like no one noticed and kept going. I was embarrassed for weeks.”

Mike Tyson humorously responded with, “It really is all about the Benjamins,” referencing Diddy’s hit song about money.

At one point, Tyson appeared to take Diddy’s hand and move it away as they sat together on the couch. The segment, which cut to a commercial with Diddy crossing his arms, has since gained over 40,000 views on X, sparking speculation that Tyson deliberately shifted Diddy’s hand.

One user on X commented, “Diddy tried to touch Mike Tyson, and Mike had to move his hand away.” Another added, “Tyson knew what Diddy was up to—just watch how he moves his hand off his leg.” A third chimed in, “Tyson doesn’t mess around.”

However, some viewers speculated that Tyson may have been drawing attention to a ring on Diddy’s finger instead. One person suggested, “It wasn’t on his leg; Tyson was clearly pointing out the value of the jewelry on Diddy’s hand. This interpretation might be a stretch based on the short clip alone.”

Another viewer explained, “Rewatch the clip. He was holding Diddy’s hand to show off his diamond ring to the audience while saying, ‘It truly is all about the Benjamins.'”
