Through his spokesperson, Bieber stated that he was not abused or exploited by Diddy in any way. “Justin does not fall among Sean Combs’ victims,” his rep said. “But it’s important to focus on those who were truly hurt and not let distractions take away from their voices.”
Sources close to Bieber say there is no proof that Diddy ever mistreated him. While they appeared together in the public eye when Bieber was younger, insiders insist the interactions were only for show. They described the relationship as distant, mainly involving Diddy’s sons, not Diddy himself.
Old videos showing Bieber and Diddy together recently resurfaced online, creating concern among fans. The clips showed some awkward moments from over 10 years ago. But Bieber’s team emphasized there was no private relationship—only staged appearances during public events.
