Photo of Diddy kissing his mother on the lips is going viral 

A resurfaced photo of music mogul Sean “Diddy” Combs kissing his mother, Janice Combs, on the lips is stirring major controversy across social media. Originally taken at a family gathering years ago, the image went viral this week after being reposted on X (formerly Twitter), drawing thousands of shocked reactions and heated debates.

In the photo, Diddy appears to affectionately kiss his mother on the lips during a posed moment. While some users defended the gesture as a harmless sign of love between a son and his mother, many others expressed discomfort — with some even calling it “inappropriate” and “weird.”

The post has racked up over 12 million views and 60,000 comments, ranging from disgust to confusion. One user wrote, “This ain’t sweet, it’s unsettling. Why on the lips?” while another commented, “Y’all seriously need therapy if you think this is normal.”

Diddy, 55, has not commented publicly on the photo since it began circulating again. His mother Janice, 84, has long been a staple at red carpet events with her son, known for her glamorous fashion and close bond with the hip-hop icon.

Some public figures have weighed in, with media personality Charlamagne Tha God saying on his radio show, “That’s a cultural line for many people — what’s affectionate to one person may feel way off to another.”

This isn’t the first time Diddy has sparked social media frenzy. The rapper and producer has remained a lightning rod for controversy over the years, but this latest viral moment has once again placed him at the center of a conversation about boundaries, affection, and what’s deemed appropriate in the public eye.

As the discourse continues to spiral, one thing is clear: the internet isn’t done talking about it anytime soon.
