Justin Bieber has finally broken his silence about the rumors connecting him to Sean “Diddy” Combs. The singer, who is now 31, has responded after fans raised concerns that he may have been abused by Diddy when he was younger.
This comes after an old video appeared in 2024. The clip showed a young Bieber spending 48 hours with Diddy, while they were working on music together. At that time, Justin was still a minor and early in his career.
On Thursday, May 15, just days after Diddy’s sex trafficking trial started, Bieber’s team spoke out. They shared a statement with TMZ to clear up the rumors.
The spokesperson said that Justin is not one of Diddy’s victims. But they also made it clear that there are real victims who were harmed, and it’s important to focus on helping them.
They added that spreading false stories takes away from the real pain and justice the victims deserve.
Diddy’s trial began on Monday, May 12, in New York. He faces serious charges like sex trafficking, racketeering, and transporting people for prostitution. If he is found guilty, he could spend the rest of his life in prison. Diddy has denied all the accusations.
Diddy helped Justin’s music career in the early days. He was a mentor to Usher, who later signed Justin after Scooter Braun discovered him when he was just 14 years old.
A source told Us Weekly that Justin is very upset by the allegations and wants to protect himself. They said he feels disgusted by everything he’s heard.
In a video from 2010, when Justin was 16, he appeared uncomfortable and nervous while talking to Diddy, who asked why Justin didn’t spend time with him anymore.
Even though they stayed in touch over the years, Justin worked with Diddy on the song Moment in 2023. It was part of The Love Album: Off the Grid.
Now, according to a source who spoke to the Daily Mail, Justin is deeply disturbed by what’s come out about Diddy. He doesn’t want to talk about it and is keeping quiet.
The source also said Justin regrets working with Diddy recently. If he had known about the serious allegations, he never would have agreed to collaborate with him.
