Justin Bieber Breaks Silence on Whether He Was Among Diddy's Victims amid Rapper's Sex Trafficking Trial.
Justin Bieber has finally addressed rumors about his connection to Sean "Diddy" Combs’ ongoing sex trafficking trial, confirming through his representative that he was not among the rapper’s alleged victims.
A spokesperson for Bieber stated, "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."
Diddy's trial began on May 12, following his indictment last September on charges including sex trafficking, racketeering, and transportation to engage in prostitution. He has pleaded not guilty to all charges.
Following Combs' arrest, sources noted that Bieber chose to prioritize his family life, especially after the birth of his son, Jack Blues, with wife Hailey Baldwin Bieber.
In March of last year, a video resurfaced showing a young Bieber spending time with Combs. The clip, originally shared on Bieber’s YouTube page in 2009, showed the pair spending 48 hours together, with Combs offering Bieber a Lamborghini upon turning 16 and his mansion when he turned 18.
Combs was heard saying, "Where we hanging out and what we’re doing we can’t really disclose. But it’s definitely a 15-year-old’s dream." Bieber replied, "Let’s just go get some girls," to which Combs responded, "Man after my heart. That’s what I’m talking about."
Despite their past friendship and collaborations, Bieber’s representative has been clear that the singer is not implicated as a victim in the serious allegations against Combs.
