A video showing Diddy awkwardly hugging and appearing to land a kiss on Bono resurfaced Sunday and Monday after authorities filed several charges against the hip-hop mogul in mid-September.
The clip shows the moment at the 2014 Golden Globe Awards when Diddy stepped forward to present U2 frontman Paul “Bono” Hewson with the “Best Original Song Award” for their tune, “Ordinary Love from Mandela: Long Walk to Freedom.”
The video appears to show Diddy briefly attempting to land a kiss on Bono’s cheek as the two greeted each other. Bono seems to recoil from Diddy in the cringe-worthy clip circulating on social media.

Bono “still shudders” when he recalls the interaction, according to an insider’s statement sent to RadarOnline.
“Loads of fans are saying the obvious discomfort with Bono’s body language all those years ago is a sign he knew there was something not right with Diddy – to say the least,” the insider told RadarOnline.
The insider reportedly insisted that Bono wasn’t part of Diddy’s social scene.
“There’s no way he knew about the depths of his depravity or he would have spoken up, but there was no way Bono was letting him anywhere near him, even 10 years ago,” the source said, according to RadarOnline.
