According to Page Six, the footage was posted to Brand’s YouTube channel in August 2009 as the pair traveled to Las Vegas. Combs put an arm around Brand and introduced him as his “new best friend,” saying he had known the comedian for a long time. Brand joked that they had shared a rough past.
Their banter turned suggestive when Combs took his arm off Brand’s shoulder. “I liked it,” Brand said. He then clarified: “I mean, I didn’t let it cross over into the area of being physically aroused or anything.” Combs later called the trip a “Straight guy date.” Asked how it should end, he replied, “We could find some women to have sex with,” and Brand agreed. Combs also joked that the plans could end with them in hospital.
Brand discussed Combs again in a May 2010 interview with BlackTree TV, describing the rapper as someone who had looked after him and taken him on an “enforced holiday.” Brand called him powerful and “intense,” saying he sometimes found it difficult to refuse Combs’ requests. The pair had met while working on the 2010 comedy “Get Him to the Greek,” and also attended a Ricky Hatton and Manny Pacquiao boxing match in Las Vegas in May 2009.
Brand was sentenced to 10 years and six months on November 9 after being convicted of one count of rape and three counts of sexual assault. He denied the allegations and pleaded not guilty. He is being held at HMP Wandsworth in London, with a possible transfer to HMP Wakefield reportedly under consideration.
Combs is serving a 50-month federal sentence following his July 2025 conviction on two counts of transportation to engage in prostitution. He was acquitted of racketeering and sex trafficking charges. He is being held at FCI Allenwood Low in Pennsylvania.
