Justin Bieber finally speaks out about disturbing resurfaced videos with Diddy
Their public appearances were ‘performative’
Sean “Diddy” Combs is currently on trial in New York. He’s facing serious charges, including sex trafficking, racketeering, and transporting people to engage in prostitution. He has denied all the allegations.
Now, Justin Bieber’s name has resurfaced in connection with old videos of him and Diddy, which have been shared online. The videos, taken when Justin Bieber was still a teenager, show him and Diddy hanging out and making comments that many people now find uncomfortable or worrying in hindsight.
For example, in a 2009 vlog on Justin Bieber’s YouTube channel, Diddy says, “For the next 48 hours, he’s with me. And we’re gonna go full. Buck full cr*zy.” Meanwhile, another clip from a 2011 Jimmy Kimmel Live interview shows Diddy joking, “[Justin] knows better than to be talking about what he does with Big Brother Puff on national television.”
With these old moments getting attention again, Justin Bieber’s team has decided to speak out. As reported by TMZ, a rep for the singer said, “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.”
Sources close to Justin Bieber also told TMZ that the two didn’t have a real relationship. The rep said that their public appearances were mostly “performative” and didn’t reflect any private connection or close bond.
