An awkward moment between U2 frontman Bono and disgraced musician Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs have gone viral following his arrest.

The I’ll Be Missing You rapper, 54, was arrested in September and later charged amid multiple lawsuits in recent months following allegations of abuse and sexual assault spanning decades.

Numerous interactions between Diddy and other stars have surfaced in recent weeks, including a horrifying moment between the musician and Bono at the 2014 Golden Globes.

Footage from the ceremony shows Diddy taking the stage to present the award for best original song.

The award was won by U2 for their song Ordinary Love, which was featured in the 2013 film Mandela: Long Walk to Freedom.

Bono and his bandmates The Edge, Adam Clayton and Larry Mullen Jr. took the stage to accept the award, as Diddy turned to kiss the singer on the cheek.

It comes as was revealed during a shocking press conference more than 100 people are suing the rapper for assault, rape and sexual exploitation.

Tony Buzbee, a Texas attorney, revealed that they have set up a phone line for Diddy’s alleged victims to come forward, as more than 3,000 people have done so far.

Twenty-five of the alleged victims he represents were minors, he continued, including children as young as nine years old.

The allegations date from 1991 to this year and took place in Los Angeles, New York and Miami. Buzbee explained that most of the alleged incidents occurred after 2015.

“We will expose the factors that enabled this behavior behind closed doors. We will pursue this case regardless of who the evidence relates to,” Buzbee said in a statement.

“The entertainment industry’s biggest secret, which wasn’t really a secret at all, has finally been revealed to the world. The wall of silence has now been broken.’

Diddy released a statement denying the allegations against him, saying: “Enough is enough. Over the past few weeks I have sat quietly and watched as people tried to assassinate my character, destroy my reputation and my legacy.

“Sickening allegations have been made against me by individuals looking for a quick payday. Let me be absolutely clear: I have not done any of the horrible things alleged. I will fight for my name, my family and for the truth.”
