A representative for Justin Bieber has issued a statement addressing the singer’s connection to embattled music mogul Sean “Diddy” Combs, amid growing legal troubles and public scrutiny surrounding Diddy.
Currently, Diddy is facing grave federal charges—including sex trafficking, racketeering conspiracy, and transportation to engage in prostitution—all of which he has publicly denied.
In a statement provided to TMZ, Bieber’s rep emphasized that: “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.”
Additionally, sources close to Bieber clarified that despite public photos and appearances suggesting otherwise, his relationship with Diddy was never close or personal. They described past interactions as “performative”, likely referring to music industry events or public collaborations that often involve minimal personal involvement.
This distancing statement comes as celebrity associations with Diddy are being reexamined, with fans and critics questioning the extent of various entertainers’ awareness or involvement during the period in which the alleged misconduct occurred.
Bieber’s move to publicly clarify his stance suggests a growing trend among celebrities to acknowledge victims and create clear boundaries amid the fallout from Diddy’s ongoing legal challenges.
