Justin Bieber Responds To Rumors That He Was One Of Diddy’s Victims

Pop star Justin Bieber has issued a statement via his rep addressing rumors that he was one of Sean “Diddy” Combs’ victims.

Combs, 55, is currently on trial for multiple offenses, including sex trafficking, racketeering, and transportation for purposes of prostitution. Bieber frequently consorted with the Bad Boys Records founder when he was younger, which has led people to speculate and circulate videos of the two interacting, which they deemed suspicious.

But Bieber has denied these rumors.  

“Although Justin is not among Sean Combs’ victims, there are individuals who were genuinely harmed by him,” the pop star’s rep told Page Six on Thursday. “Shifting focus away from this reality detracts from the justice these victims rightfully deserve.”

One of the most widely distributed video clips shows Combs discussing his time spent with Bieber, who was 15 at the time. “Where we hanging out and what we doing, we can’t really disclose, but it’s definitely a 15-year-old’s dream,” the rap artist can be heard saying in the video.

“I don’t have legal guardianship of him, but for the next 48 hours, he’s with me,” Combs continued. “We gonna go full buck full crazy.”

Bieber agreed, echoing, “Going crazy.”

Reactions on social media discussed how “creepy” the video was.

“This is creepy AF where the hell are the parents here!? And it was Usher who also lived with P. Diddy when he was a child that brought in Bieber,” podcaster Luke Rudkowski wrote on X last year.

Combs’ trial began with testimony from his longtime ex-girlfriend, Cassie Ventura, who claims the rapper physically, mentally, and sexually assaulted her.

Ventura went into detail about her experience at Combs’ drug-fueled sex parties known as “freak-offs,” which involved her engaging in intercourse with male prostitutes for hours or days at a time. She said, “sometimes Sean — he, himself, or an escort would urinate on me.”

“The freak-offs became a job,” she added, saying that participating made her feel “disgusting” and “humiliated.”

The rapper’s legal team admits that their client was a “complicated” man who engaged in uncommon sexual behavior, but says they seek to prove that all encounters occurred between consenting adults. 

Combs pleaded not guilty to the charges. If convicted, he could spend the rest of his life in prison.
