Justin Bieber has reportedly had a difficult experience with the controversial music mogul Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs, particularly in light of the recent serious allegations against Diddy. This situation has gained attention following Diddy’s arrest on September 16, where he faced multiple charges including đ eđ„ trafficking and racketeering.
Reports suggest that Bieber has described his time with Diddy as a “nightmare” and referred to it as a “private hell.”
Sources indicate that the singer has opened up to friends about his troubling experiences with the 54-year-old mogul amidst the fallout from Diddy’s legal troubles. Diddy has been accused in a 14-page indictment of running a “criminal enterprise” that involved the đ eđ„ual and physical abuse of women.
Currently, Diddy is being held without bail at Brooklyn’s Metropolitan Detention Center as he awaits trial. He has pleaded not guilty and consistently denies the allegations against him. Although Bieber has not publicly addressed these matters, insiders have shared insights with In Touch Weekly regarding his feelings about the situation.
“The last thing Justin wants is to revisit or discuss his complicated friendship with Diddy,” the source stated. “However, he’s finally talking to his friends about the nightmare he had and the impact it’s had on him.”
Despite their turbulent history, Justin and Diddy have collaborated in the past, with their most recent work appearing on Diddy’s fifth studio album, The Love Album: Off the Grid, featuring the track “Moments.” As troubling details about Diddy unfold, past footage of them together has been circulating, raising concerns among fans.
One notable clip is a 2009 YouTube vlog titled JUSTIN BIEBER’s 48 HRS with DIDDY!!, where a young 15-year-old Bieber is seen spending time with then 40-year-old Diddy. Diddy commented during the vlog, “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.”
“For the next 48 hours, he’s with me. And we’re gonna go full. Buck full crazy,” he added.
This resurfacing content has prompted Beliebers to reevaluate Justin’s relationships with other stars, according to the source from In Touch. Bieber has been vocal about his struggles throughout his career, dealing with issues such as addiction and mental health, which he openly discussed in the 2020 documentary Justin Bieber: Next Chapter.
In an emotional conversation with Apple Musicâs Zane Lowe in 2020, Bieber reflected, “It was hard for me, being that young and being in the industry and not knowing where to turn, with everyone telling me they loved me but then turning their backs on me in a second.”
Furthermore, Bieber expressed a desire to protect younger artists like Billie Eilish, who also began her musical journey at a young age. He stated, âIf she ever needs me, Iâm going to be here for her. I donât want her to go through anything I went through. I donât wish that upon anybody.”
An insider also noted that Bieber has encouraged young artists to reach out for support in challenging times, emphasizing his openness about his struggles and how therapy and faith have helped him navigate his journey.
