Amid federal sex-trafficking and racketeering charges against Sean “Diddy” Combs, public scrutiny has turned to his past relationship with Justin Bieber. A resurfaced YouTube video shows Diddy promising the young singer a “crazy” 48 hours together when Bieber was just 15 years old.
The music mogul maintained proximity to the Grammy-winning singer during his formative years in the industry. Reports claim Bieber later created distance between himself and Combs.
Justin Bieber and Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs’ connection explained
Justin Bieber has not publicly addressed any rumors regarding his past connection with Sean Combs. However, sources close to the singer have alleged that Bieber has been “advised to stay as far away as possible from anything and everything related to Diddy” (via US Weekly).
Bieber’s long-lasting career in music officially began when he signed with Usher and Scooter Braun’s label, RBMG Records. At that time, Usher was close with Diddy, and Bieber also met the musician on multiple occasions.
In an old YouTube video of Justin Bieber, Diddy appears to spend 48 hours with the pop sensation. In the video, Diddy said, “He’s having 48 hours with Diddy, where we hanging out and what we’re doing we can’t really disclose. But it’s definitely a 15-year-old’s dream.”
Diddy explains that he does not have “legal guardianship” of Bieber but will be with the singer for 48 hours. The rapper noted, “And we’re gonna go buck fool crazy.”
From allegations against Diddy, netizens have found out that some of the executive producer’s parties included explicit sexual activities. In some instances, the activities were done on camera, allegedly for “personal use.”
While sources close to Bieber have stated that Combs has no involvement with the musician, an insider told US Weekly in 2024, “Justin is in a hard place mentally right now.” Another source revealed, “He has such a history with Diddy, and the allegations against him have been hard to process.”
Many fans have expressed concerns for Justin Bieber’s well-being, as the singer has appeared to be under the influence of substances in recent public and social media appearances. Recently, the singer posted photos of his bong on social media. His Coachella videos also sparked a discussion regarding the current state of his mental health.
