Justin Bieber’s representative says the singer was not a.b.u.s.e.d by rapper Diddy, hopes the public focuses on the victims.

According to TMZ on May 15, Bieber’s representative and several sources close to him responded to rumors about his past with Sean “Diddy” Combs, amid the ongoing sex scandal trial of the “rap mogul”.

“Although Justin Bieber was never harmed by Diddy, there may still be many others who have been harmed. If the attention to the victims is skewed, it will overshadow the justice they deserve,” the artist’s representative said.

The response was in reference to interviews Diddy and Justin Bieber conducted more than 10 years ago, when the singer was new to the industry and had an affair with the singer. After Diddy was arrested in September 2024, Diddy’s statements attracted attention again.

Most fans believed that some of the rapper’s statements contained sexual innuendos and had bad intentions toward Bieber. In a 2009 video, Diddy said he would spend 48 hours alone with the singer – then 15 – and do “many things that cannot be revealed.”

Many fans were concerned that Diddy might have negatively influenced Justin Bieber as a child, but TMZ ‘s sources insist that their public appearances were “for show.” In reality, they’re not close. Instead, Bieber is close to the rapper’s two children, Quincy and Justin Combs.

Justin Bieber , 31, is one of the world’s best-selling music artists. Throughout his career, he has received numerous awards, including 22 Guinness World Records, two Grammy Awards, 18 AMAs, 20 Billboard Music Awards, two Brit Awards, 21 MTV EMAs, and four MTV VMAs.

Time magazine named Bieber one of the “100 Most Influential People in the World” in 2011. In 2019, he married model Hailey Baldwin and welcomed their first child in August 2024.

In addition to his relationship with Diddy, fans are also worried about Bieber’s mental state and health. In recent months, he has often appeared haggard and has been rumored to be using drugs because he often posts articles and pictures expressing extreme emotions on his personal page.

In February, the artist’s representative denied that he used stimulants, saying he was enjoying “one of the best periods of his life” with his wife and son.

Diddy , 56, whose real name is Sean Combs, founded Bad Boy Records in 1993, helping to make hip hop a global phenomenon. In 2022, Diddy’s net worth was estimated at $1 billion, according to Forbes . Diddy is not married but has seven children with four girlfriends.

After about nine months in custody, Diddy’s trial began on May 12 in Manhattan Federal Court in New York. He is currently facing charges of sex trafficking, racketeering, and transporting people for p.r.o.s.t.i.t.u.t.i.o.n. Several witnesses, including his ex-girlfriend, singer Cassie Ventura, were present at the trial to testify against the kingpin.

Ventura claims she was physically and mentally a.b.u.s.e.d by the rapper during their 11-year relationship, and was forced to attend countless wild parties to satisfy his perverted desires.

During that time, Diddy controlled her entire life. Last September, CNN released a video of Ventura being a.b.u.s.e.d by Diddy in a Los Angeles hotel. If convicted, Diddy faces life in prison.

Justin Bieber once cried talking about the dark side of the entertainment industry

Justin Bieber – the one-time “prince of pop” – once cried saying he wanted to protect his junior Billie Eilish from the dark side of the American entertainment industry.

According to the NY Post , Bieber’s interview with Apple’s Music’s Zane Lowe in February 2020 is attracting attention again.

The reason is that the person who supported him in the early stages of his career – rapper Sean “Diddy” Combs – has just been arrested for sex trafficking. Many viewers believe that in the interview, Bieber hinted that Diddy had treated him badly.

The conversation four years ago revolved around the album Changes , the story of Bieber entering the entertainment industry as a teenager. When the MC asked what he thought about Billie Eilish – the rising singer of 2020 – the singer used himself as an example, hoping to become a good example for her juniors.

“I want to protect her, I don’t want Eilish to go through what I went through. I don’t want anyone to go through that either. She can call me whenever she needs me,” the singer choked up.

Justin Bieber said that in the past, he had to fight to survive in the entertainment industry, and sometimes felt that life was “terrible and dark”. Without explaining what bad things happened, the singer said that he “lived in shame” because of his past troubles.

Although Bieber did not mention Sean “Diddy” Combs by name, many social media accounts assumed he was referring to the trauma associated with the “rap mogul.”

In 2008, he signed a contract with Usher’s RBMG Music label – Diddy’s protégé – and the two have since developed a close relationship, having collaborated on the song Moments released last year.

Many fans also reposted a video of a 2008 interview between the rapper and Bieber, in which Diddy said he would spend 48 hours alone with the singer – who was about 14 – and do “unspeakable things”. Fans were concerned that the relationship could have a negative impact on Bieber’s mental health.

The suspicions about the hidden side of the relationship between Bieber and Diddy have not stopped when many people thought that the MV Yummy (2020) from Justin Bieber’s album Changes contained a message condemning sex crimes in the entertainment industry.

Most of the content of this music video depicts a group of rich people enjoying a party, and Bieber’s character is not a guest but “food” waiting to be enjoyed.

Justin Bieber has not yet commented on fans’ speculations and concerns.
