Another day, another look into the wild world of Diddy-this time through the lens of a never-before-seen video from 2018 that's resurfacing just as his federal sex trafficking trial takes center stage.

TMZ has revealed footage from a Super Bowl LII party in Minnesota, showing Diddy partying with longtime friends French Montana and DJ Khaled. The vibe? Mostly celebratory. But things take a turn once Khaled pulls out his phone.

The three music heavyweights are seen laughing and posing for photos early in the clip, drinks in hand, soaking up the moment. Then Khaled steps in, says a few words, and shows something on his screen that instantly wipes the smiles away.

What was on Khaled's phone?

Diddy and French lean in. Their faces change. What looked like just another star-studded night suddenly feels a lot more serious. It's not clear what was on the phone, but their expressions say plenty.

Shortly after, the tension seems to ease as a group of women enter the scene-clinking glasses, taking selfies, and lightening the mood. But Diddy? Still looks distracted.

This footage, emerging while Diddy faces mounting legal pressure and Cassie continues her explosive testimony, adds another layer to a growing archive of his behind-the-scenes behavior.

With Cassie's detailed descriptions of so-called "freak-offs" dominating headlines (Rolling Stone, March 2025), and mainstream outlets like Billboard and The New York Times pulling back the curtain on Diddy's private life, every resurfaced clip carries new weight.

Whether the phone moment is connected to anything currently under scrutiny remains a mystery-but with Diddy's trial only heating up, nothing feels off-limits anymore.
