Whoa. Justin Bieber is actually reacting to those Diddy rumors!
Ever since the alleged dark side of Sean Combs was exposed amid allegations of sexual assault, sex trafficking, freak-offs, and much more, fans have been deeply concerned about JB’s connection to the rapper.
The pair’s interactions go way back to 2009 when the One Time crooner was just 15, and Puff was bragging about being his guardian for “48 hours,” in which they were “gonna go full buck, full crazy” and live out a “15-year-old’s dream” — the details of which he couldn’t reveal on camera. Creepy.

The next year, Diddy scolded Justin for dodging him in another concerning video, and the rumors spiraled from there amid beliefs the Canadian performer might’ve been hinting at his problematic ties to the embattled star via his Yummy music video and more. Plus, the 31-year-old has distanced himself from most of the people in his inner circle at the start of his career as reports said he was really shaken up by Diddy’s arrest.
But now, as the I’ll Be Missing You artist wraps up the first few days of his trial, sources are putting an end to this speculation. Multiple insiders — some who were once close to the heartthrob and others who are still in his inner circle — told TMZ on Thursday that nothing inappropriate ever happened between them. They insisted P. Diddy never sexually or otherwise abused the Holy singer.
In fact, they claimed all those public appearances together were just “performative” and that Justin never had a relationship with the older musician. Instead, he was friends with Diddy’s sons Quincy, 33, and Justin, 31.
But it wasn’t just anonymous sources who opened up either! Justin’s own rep chimed in! Slamming fans for twisting the narrative away from the real victims, the spokesperson dished:
“Although Justin is not among Sean Combs’ victims, there are individuals who were genuinely harmed by him. Shifting focus away from this reality detracts from the justice these victims rightfully deserve.”
Wow!
We honestly never thought Justin would speak out on this… He’s been avoiding it for so long now!
It’s a relief to hear he wasn’t abused, but that doesn’t mean JB wasn’t put in any uncomfortable situations, we suppose. Even Usher has admitted when he was a minor in Diddy’s care, he saw a lot of “crazy” stuff he shouldn’t have been exposed to. Just saying.
