As the band went on stage, guitarist The Edge greeted Combs with hug, but Bono awkwardly avoided a kiss from rapper. Clip published by Daily Mail, has caught renewed attention online.
Some speculate that Bono’s reaction might be connected to his awareness of rumors about activities at Combs’ infamous “white parties.” Others see this moment as another example of growing hints in pop culture about the rapper’s alleged crimes.
