Justin Bieber has finally addressed the swirling rumors that he was one of the alleged victims of Sean “Diddy” Combs, and he’s making it clear that the speculation needs to stop.
For months now, the internet has been flooded with conspiracy theories trying to link Bieber’s past health struggles to his former connection with Diddy. The rumors kicked into high gear after Diddy, 55, was arrested last year on serious charges including sex trafficking and prostitution. Things escalated further when old footage resurfaced showing a young Bieber spending time at Diddy’s home back in 2009, when he was still a teenager.

Bieber, now 31, remained silent until now. A rep for the Canadian pop star finally spoke up, telling TMZ, “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.”
The statement aims to shut down the baseless speculation while emphasizing support for those who suffered. Still, for many online, the connection between the two remains a hot topic, especially considering their unusual dynamic during Bieber’s early rise to fame.
One particular video clip showing Diddy and Bieber spending “48 hours” together drew much attention when it began circulating again last year. Many fans on social media found the footage unsettling, citing the 24-year age difference between them as a red flag.
Adding to the awkwardness, Bieber was featured on Diddy’s 2023 release The Love Album: Off The Grid. Sources now say he regrets being a part of it. “He was featured on Diddy’s most recent album, and had he known any of this, there is no way he would have done it,” an insider shared with Mail Online.
While Bieber’s name is making headlines, the spotlight is still very much on Diddy’s ongoing legal battle. In the latest courtroom bombshell, shocking CCTV footage was shown of the music mogul attacking his ex-girlfriend Cassie Ventura in a Los Angeles hotel hallway back in 2016. The disturbing video shows Diddy chasing Cassie in nothing but a towel and socks, grabbing her by the head, slamming her to the floor, and kicking her while she was down.
Cassie, who is currently eight-and-a-half months pregnant with her third child, took the stand and detailed the horrific abuse she allegedly endured. She testified that she was forced into multi-day sex sessions with male escorts and lived in constant fear of being physically assaulted. “You make the wrong face… then I was getting hit in the face,” she told the court.

She explained how she first got involved with Diddy when she was just 19, after signing a ten-album deal with his Bad Boy Records label in 2006. Initially charmed by his fame and fortune, she said things quickly turned dark. Cassie described how Diddy became increasingly controlling, dictating what she wore, who she talked to, and what she worked on each day. “Control was everything from the way I looked, what I was working on that day, who I was speaking to,” she said.
Despite the abuse, Cassie admitted there were still complicated feelings involved. “There’s still love there,” she said quietly, highlighting the emotional complexity that often exists in abusive relationships.
She’s now married to Alex Fine, a personal trainer whom Diddy himself ironically hired. The case continues to unfold in New York, and if convicted, Diddy faces the very real possibility of life behind bars.
While Bieber’s involvement seems limited to unfortunate timing and misplaced trust, his name being dragged into the scandal shows how deeply this case is shaking up the entertainment world.
