Justin Bieber ‘Speaks Out’ About Diddy And Leaves Fans Heartbroken
Justin Bieber is said to have spoken out about Diddy’s high-profile indictment.
Diddy, whose real name is Sean Combs, has been accused of kidnapping, drugging, and coercing women into s**ual activities, sometimes through the use of firearms and threats of violence, in a case filed in New York.
The rapper, producer, and record executive has denied all charges and entered a not-guilty plea in September 2024, reports the BBC.
The allegations against Combs began in November 2023, when his ex-partner, Casandra Ventura known by her stage name, Cassie, filed an explosive lawsuit that claimed he had been s**ually and physically abusive to her.
It stated that the rapper would beat the singer, and force her to have relations with other men. The suit also accuses the star of r***.
According to her civil lawsuit, Cassie met Combs in 2005, when she was 19 and he was 37. The pair were together, on and off, for over a decade, and the relationship ended in 2018.
The ‘I’ll Be Missing You’ rapper settled Cassie’s lawsuit within a day. Since then, several more have sued Combs, accusing him of a wide range of abusive behavior.
Federal agents raided Combs’ properties in Miami and Los Angeles in March 2024. He was later arrested at a hotel in Manhattan following a grand jury indictment.
In a statement to the Daily Mail, Combs’ lawyer, Marc Agnifilo, said he was ‘disappointed’ with the decision to ‘pursue what we believe is an unjust prosecution of Mr. Combs by the U.S. Attorney’s Office.’
“Diddy is an imperfect person but is not criminal,” he continued.
The rapper was denied bail and has been behind bars since September 16.
Combs, who became known for his lavish parties, once said in an interview with Entertainment Tonight: “They’re going to probably be arresting me, doing all types of crazy things just because we want to have a good time.
“Whenever you bring up a different element into people’s environment, things that broaden people’s horizons, people get intimidated. It’s a lot of people out there that feel intimidated by it.”
Celebrities have also commented on how ‘wild’ and ‘weird’ his parties were, with actor Ashton Kutcher claiming in a 2019 episode of Hot Ones that there was a lot that he couldn’t say about them.
Since Combs’ arrest, people have been combing back through the rapper’s friendships with certain A-listers, including his relationship with Bieber.
When Bieber was just 13, he was signed to Raymond Braun Music Group, a joint venture between former marketing executive Scooter Braun and singer Usher, according to Forbes.
It was during his first brush with fame that the ‘Baby’ singer was introduced to Combs.
Videos of the pair together have since resurfaced, many of which have raised eyebrows.
In a video that Bieber uploaded to his YouTube channel in 2009, when he would have been 15 years old, Combs announces that Bieber is spending ’48 hours’ with him saying, ‘where we’re hanging out and what we’re doing, we can’t really disclose, but it’s definitely a 15-year-old’s dream.’
“I have been given custody of him,” Combs says. “You know, he’s signed to Usher and I had legal guardianship of Usher when he did his first album. I did Usher’s first album.
“For the next 48 hours, he’s with me. And we’re gonna go full. Buck full crazy. Let’s go get some girls.”
Over the years, Bieber has been seen less frequently with Combs.
Now, Us Weekly claims a source close to Bieber revealed that the singer is in a ‘hard place mentally right now.’
The source added: “He has such a history with Diddy and the allegations against him have been hard to process.”
The ‘Beauty and a Beat’ singer recently celebrated the birth of his first child with his model wife Hailey Bieber, whom they have named Jack Blue.
The source said: “His happiness being a dad has outweighed his anxiety about Diddy.”
Page Six spoke to an industry insider who claims to have worked with Bieber’s team for years.
They said: “He was a teenager. He was the biggest pop star in the world. Everyone was worried about him, and we didn’t know if he would survive it. People took advantage of everything he did.
“Family members are concerned about Justin. It’s unclear whether Diddy would have taken advantage of Justin at the time as his family was nearby, and his manager Scooter Braun really did care about him.”
Combs’ trial is set for May 2025.
