According to the New York Post on September 25, Justin Bieber ‘s statements in 2020 were suddenly “dug up” and spread widely after Diddy (Sean Combs) was arrested for sex trafficking and extortion. Specifically, when talking to Zane Lowe before releasing the album Changes , the 9X star cried when talking about his experience in the music industry since he was a teenager. Bieber became famous overnight, signed to Usher’s record label (Diddy’s student) in 2008, when he was only 14 years old.
“It’s hard being young and in this industry, not knowing where to turn. People say they love me, then turn their backs on me,” the Baby hitmaker shared. He shared that he just wanted to protect his junior Billie Eilish. “I don’t want her to go through anything I went through. I don’t want that to happen to anyone,” the young singer said sadly. He also hopes to be a good example for Eilish and added: “If she needs me, I’ll be here for her. We’re just a phone call away.”
Billie Eilish once thanked Justin Bieber by reposting his interview and showing off a photo of herself wearing a shirt with Bieber’s name printed on it.

Speaking about his struggles in the entertainment industry, Justin Bieber couldn’t help but get emotional: “There were times when things were bad… so dark.” He explained: “Think about how young and impressionable I was… I just want people to understand the psychology of why I could have problems in life .” The pop star also confessed that he had “lived in shame” for all of this in the past.

Although he did not mention Diddy by name, many netizens speculated that Justin Bieber was hinting at the fact that he had been mistreated by the powerful rapper in the past, when the “music mogul” supported Bieber when he was just starting out in his career. The content that the “pop prince” shared above was also widely spread on social networks , attracting the attention and heated discussion of international audiences.
Not only that, netizens also reposted an old video of Diddy and Justin Bieber. At that time, the Canadian singer was only 15 years old and the “rap king” said that they would be together for 48 hours, doing things that cannot be revealed, which is a dream of a child like Bieber. In another recently reposted video, Khloe Kardashian recalled meeting Justin Bieber at Diddy’s star-studded party in 2014 where “half the guests were naked”.
Many fans now suspect that the relationship between Combs and Bieber may have had a negative impact on the 9X singer’s mental health, causing him to experience a series of psychological instability in the past.

The suspicions about the relationship between Diddy and Justin Bieber were pushed further when the pop star’s Yummy (2020) MV was “dissected” again. The MV contains many metaphorical images, considered to be the dark side of the entertainment industry, especially sexual cases. The main content of this music product describes a group of rich, middle-aged, high-status people partying and in the end, the 9X male singer’s character is seen as “delicious food” for those people.
Not stopping there, the MV Where Are Ü Now (2015) with the participation of Justin Bieber also caused a stir again. Specifically, people “spotted” a series of unusual images, believed to contain many hidden meanings or lines of text appearing next to the male singer in the MV: “Help me pls”, “I was on my knees when nobody else was praying”… These details made many people think that Bieber was implying that he was being abused and sending out a distress signal.
Currently, Justin Bieber remains silent in the face of gossip and speculation from netizens and fans.
