Justin Bieber has broken silence on the explosive Sean ‘Diddy‘ Combs allegations just days after the disgraced music mogul’s sex trafficking trial began this week on Monday.
The Peaches hitmaker, 31, was reportedly ‘thrown’ when the rapper, 55, was arrested last year in September – after the pair had collaborated together on Combs’ latest album.
Sources informed TMZ in an article published on Thursday that Diddy never abused Bieber in any way.
Last year, a video of the pair resurfaced which some fans labeled as ‘disturbing’ and showed Combs and Justin – who was a minor at the time – hanging out for ’48 hours.’
However, insiders further told the outlet that those interactions were simply just ‘performative’ and explained Bieber was closer to Diddy’s sons rather than the music artist himself.
A rep for Justin shared a statement to TMZ which read: ‘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.’
DailyMail.com has reached to Bieber’s reps for comment.

Not long after Combs was arrested in the state of New York on sex trafficking and racketeering charges – which he has denied – a source opened up to DailyMail.com about Justin’s reaction to the news.
‘Bieber is so disturbed by the Diddy news and is unwilling to process it or discuss it so he has shut off.’
The insider added, ‘So many people who helped to make him who he is were very close to Diddy and it has completely thrown him. Justin hasn’t been responding on this since the home raids. He’s not going to.’
According to the source, the singer also regretted working with Combs on the rapper’s 2023 album titled The Love Album: Off the Grid.
‘He had a long break from Diddy when he believes most of this took place and he had distanced himself from him.’
They continued, ‘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.’
A past video also resurfaced last year as Combs and Bieber documented spending ’48 hours’ together.
In the clip, the pair could be seen standing next to each other and Diddy stated, ‘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.’
This story is breaking. More to come.
