Justin Bieber has been hit hard by the recent sex trafficking allegations against Sean "Diddy" Combs, who are known to have known each other for a long time.
In addition, an old video has been resurfacing from 2009, showing a 15-year-old Bieber spending 48 hours with Diddy,
up until the day Diddy was taken into custody. The clip of Justin Bieber spending time with the legendary rapper is still on Justin's official YouTube channel, and has already garnered over 5 million views.
The two-minute clip was posted 14 years ago, when Justin Bieber was just 15 and Diddy, then 40, was still a respected figure in the industry.
There’s no telling what exactly went down.
The two-minute clip shows Diddy gifting the then-teenage artist with a luxury car, who wasn’t yet the global superstar he is today.
“As soon as you turn 16, I’m going to let you drive it whenever you want,” he says, before gifting Bieber the lavish gift.
“When you’re 16, you’ll be ready,” he says. “When you’re 18, you’re going to get a house, you’re going to get a mansion.”
The rapper then speaks to the camera, telling fans that Bieber is about to embark on his “48 Hours with Diddy.”
“We can’t really reveal where we went or what we did, but it’s a 15-year-old’s dream, for sure. I have custody of him,” he claims.
“He signed with Usher, I was Usher’s legal guardian when he did his first album. I might not have actual custody of him, but for the next 48 hours, he’s going to be with me. And we're gonna go crazy," he continued.
Diddy then asked Justin what he wanted to do in the next 48 hours.
"Let's go find some girls. Let's go hang out with some girls," Bieber suggested, to which Diddy replied, "Yeah, that's what we're talking about," Diddy said as the pair held hands and walked away from the cameras.
Netizens' comments
The 14-year-old video has been gaining renewed attention in recent months as the allegations against Diddy continue to mount.
"This video is so old," said one of the top-rated comments on YouTube.
"The fact that this video has been out for 14 years and no one has questioned it until now is crazy," another commented. "The fear of not knowing what happened after the cameras stopped recording is insane."
"Forty-eight hours with Diddy sounds like a horror movie," one commenter said.
Usher was Diddy's former "boy."
In fact, Bieber's former mentor Usher spoke about it in a newly released interview, where he described living with Diddy when he was a teen star and working on his debut album in the early '90s. Usher
was just 14 when he moved in with Diddy, then in his 20s, for a year.
"I went there to see his lifestyle, and I saw it," Usher revealed in a 2016 interview with The Howard Stern Show. "And it was... But I don't know if I could indulge myself and understand what I was looking at. It was pretty extreme. It was crazy."
As the host tried to ask him for more details, Usher said, “There’s a lot of weird stuff going on, and I don’t really understand it,” the report added.
Mysterious Song?
A conspiracy theory about a 'new Justin Bieber song' has been circulating online lately, especially after P. Diddy's arrest.
After P. Diddy was arrested this month on charges of prostitution and organized crime, the mysterious song has gone viral again, with attention turning to his friendship with Justin Bieber, which began when Justin was just a teenager who was just starting to gain fame.
The lyrics first went viral in April, and in part, they say the singer is 'losing himself at Diddy's party' and insists that 'it cost him his soul, it didn't cost him the fame and the money'. Following the allegations, Justin's fans have been analyzing the lyrics, which seem to have sinister meanings. Some of the lines
almost directly go, "Lost himself at Diddy's party, don't know that's how it works, I'm in for the new Ferrari, it cost me my soul, it didn't cost him the fame and the money".
However, according to Snopes, there is no evidence to support the song's existence, and at the time of writing, there has been no official confirmation from reliable sources. Many online speculate that the song may have been created by artificial intelligence (AI).
Met “Bieber” at a “naked” party
There have also been references to people who met Bieber at the party, with Khloe Kardashian telling sister Kourtney that she met Justin at Diddy's party when he was just 20.
"I got on a plane at 5:30 in the morning. That party... I think half the people were naked... She must have loved it!"
Kourtney then asked her, "Who were you with this weekend?" to which Khloe replied, "A bunch of friends." Khloe also named her guests, including "Diddy, Quincy, Justin Bieber..." and confirmed that she was with them, saying, "So far so good."
Heartbroken, Confused and Withdrawn
: Justin Bieber has reportedly expressed “deep emotion” after hearing the news of Diddy’s sex trafficking arrest, to the point of isolating himself. A
source describes Bieber’s fragile feelings, saying, “Justin was very shaken by the news about Diddy and was not ready to admit or talk about it. He chose to isolate himself,” the source said.
“A lot of the people who helped make him the person he is today are very close to Diddy, and that’s really confusing to Justin.”
“Justin has not responded to the news since the raid on Diddy’s home. He won’t talk about it.”
The source added that Justin also deeply regrets working with the producer last year, and if he had known about the allegations in advance, he would not have worked with
him. They added, “He had been distant from Diddy for a long time during the time he believed these things were happening, so he distanced himself from Diddy around that time.”
“Justin was on Diddy’s last album, and if he had known about it in the first place, he would never have worked with him.”
