Inside the complex relationship between Justin Bieber and his former mentor P Diddy

When Justin Bieber was first starting out in the music industry, rapper P Diddy took on the role as a form of mentor towards him . However, as the years have gone by their relationship has changed, and following the recent charges against Diddy it seems Justin has entirely removed him from his life.

According to sources, Justin is said to be deeply “disturbed” by the charges made against him and regrets having collaborated together on a song just last year. So, let’s breakdown the complex relationship history throughout he years between Diddy and Justin Bieber.

November 2009 – Justin Bieber spends 48 hours with P Diddy

Justin initially signed with Usher’s record label at just 15 and quickly became involved with the Caught Up crew which featured P Diddy. Diddy took on a mentorship role towards Justin and the two made a YouTube video about their time together.

In the video, Diddy explains: “I have been given custody of him,” Diddy continues. “You know, he’s signed to Usher, and I had legal guardianship of Usher when he did his first album. I did Usher’s first album. We’re gonna go full. Buck full crazy.”

He continued: “You ever seen the movie 48 Hrs? Right now [Justin is] having 48 hours with Diddy, him and his boy. They’re having the times of their lives. Where we hanging out and what we’re doing we can’t really disclose. But it’s definitely a 15-year-old’s dream.”

Later on in the video, Diddy asks Justin what he wants to get up to together, and the singer replies, “Let’s just go get some girls.” Diddy laughs and responds: “Man after my heart. That’s what I’m talking about.”

According to The Daily Mail, Justin Bieber regrets his collaboration with P Diddy and is “unwilling” to process it.

The source revealed: “Bieber is so disturbed by the Diddy news and is unwilling to process it or discuss it so he has shut off,” the source said.  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 to this since the home raids. He’s not going to.”

They continued: “He had a long break from Diddy when he believes most of this took place and he had distanced himself from him. 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”
