According to Page Six, singer Justin Bieber is going through a period of crisis after his close friend Sean Combs (stage name Diddy) was detained in connection with a sex scandal.
International media reported that on September 16, top rapper, producer and record executive Sean Combs was arrested. The music mogul was arrested in New York (USA) on a series of charges, including coercion, abuse, extortion and violence to control the victim.
Sean Combs is also suspected of luring multiple male and female victims into drug-fueled, multi-day sex shows known as “Freak Offs.” Diddy’s crimes are believed to have occurred over a long period of time, dating back to at least 2009.
Prosecutors said the singer used his business empire, including his record label Bad Boy Entertainment, to recruit prostitutes and male prostitutes to perform sex acts. But the rapper’s defense attorney, Marc Agnifilo, said the sex was consensual.
In court, Sean Diddy pleaded not guilty after the 14-page indictment was released. The judge denied the singer bail and granted the prosecutor’s request to continue holding Sean Combs in pretrial detention.
On September 20, the US investigation agency decided to put music star Sean Combs under special surveillance to prevent the possibility of him being shocked and falling into a state of mental instability, committing reckless acts. According to a source of Page Six, since being investigated and detained, the American music star has shown signs of mental instability.
Sean Combs’ case shocked the international media because before his arrest, the 54-year-old star was considered one of the most influential artists in the world’s hip hop music scene.
He has won 3 Grammy awards and has extensive relationships with world artists such as Jay-Z and Beyoncé, Rihanna, Jennifer Lopez, Usher, The Weeknd, Janelle Monáe, Queen Latifah, Snoop Dogg, Justin Bieber…
According to Page Six, the person who is said to be most affected by Sean Combs’ arrest is Justin Bieber. Their relationship is especially close as Justin was a student of Usher – who was initially supported by Diddy. The “Prince of Pop” also participated in the production of Diddy’s album Love: Off the Grid in 2023.
A source told the Daily Mail: “Justin Bieber is very confused by the Diddy news and doesn’t want to analyze or discuss it. So he’s kept quiet. Many of the people who helped Justin get to where he is today are very close to Diddy and that’s causing him a crisis. Justin hasn’t responded to this since Diddy was questioned by the police.”
Currently, Justin is said to be trying to ignore negative information about his friend, focusing on taking care of his newborn son Jack Blues. A friend of the “Prince of Pop” told reporters: “Justin Bieber knows about Diddy’s arrest and the accusations surrounding his friend. However, he doesn’t want to focus on that. Justin Bieber is focused on being a good husband and father.”
The source added that Justin Bieber is in a happy state with his son, who was born in August. He has tried to avoid information related to Diddy’s arrest, which has shocked the international media. According to the Daily Mail’s source, the Baby singer quite regrets collaborating with the hip hop mogul and “wants to have known about Diddy sooner.”
Last April, when Diddy’s mansions in Los Angeles and Miami were raided, Justin Bieber was said to have drawn a line and not interacted with Diddy. In addition, videos of Justin Bieber and Diddy chatting about sex in the past were dug up, causing a stir in public opinion.
