He added: “He is like a little brother to many of us. He is not afraid to call and ask for advice. He is someone who is a strong family in terms of industry.
“He’s someone we definitely have our arms around and we want to protect him because, in addition to his talents, he’s really such a nice person.
“He’s one of the greatest kids you could ever know.”
Jimmy then asked Justin, “You know, Diddy bought his son a Bentley, maybe he can buy you one too while you’re at it.”
Justin replied, “He bought me a Lamborghini. But I haven’t gotten it yet
Jimmy said, “When is that coming? That Lamborghini. We talked about this last time.”
In comments that did not go well, Diddy explained: “The Lamborghini for a day or two and he had access to the house.
“And he knows better than to go on national television and talk about the things he does with big brother Puff. Not everything is for everyone.’
Justin is said to be ‘disgusted’ by the accusations against Diddy, who was a mentor to him early in his music career.
