Justin Bieber ‘s rise to fame has always been one of the most intriguing stories in pop music. Throughout his career, the singer has been closely linked to hip hop mogul Sean Diddy Combs. In the face of Diddy’s serious allegations of trafficking and sexual assault, Justin has decided to remain silent. However, their relationship still leaves audiences in awe.

Sean “Diddy” Combs’ Influence on Justin Bieber’s Career

Justin Bieber burst onto the music scene at the age of 15, discovered by Usher after his YouTube covers and signed to his record label. Diddy, meanwhile, introduced the budding star to the world of fame. At the time, Diddy was a respected figure in the music industry and it was through Usher that the Baby singer met the hip hop mogul.

According to Hello Magazine, the rapper born in 1969 gave Justin a glimpse into Hollywood. Their initial relationship was said to be about supporting and mentoring the rising star. With Diddy’s help, the young singer was exposed to the inner workings of the music industry, helping him shape his image as a potential superstar. Along with collaborating with music industry giants, Justin transformed from a YouTube phenomenon to an international music icon.

Questionable “help”

As allegations of sexual misconduct against Sean “Diddy” Combs surface, videos from the star’s early days with the Canadian singer have been resurfaced, putting the relationship between the two stars under even greater scrutiny.

A 2009 video shows the two spending a week together. Diddy shares in the video: “Justin had 48 hours with me. Where we went, what we did, I can’t tell you, but it was a 15-year-old’s dream.” The statement raises many questions, especially amid the serious allegations the rapper/music producer is facing.

In another video, Justin was visibly upset when his senior questioned why they no longer spent time together. “You don’t call me and hang out like we used to,” Diddy commented, and Justin then tried to avoid eye contact before replying that he was fine. These moments were previously considered fun jokes, but now viewers believe that the 1994-born star has suffered a lot.

Justin Bieber’s silence on Diddy’s legal scandal

Diddy was arrested at a New York hotel on September 16 following a grand jury indictment. The rapper was charged with sex trafficking, extortion, and other serious crimes involving sex and violence. Diddy has pleaded not guilty and is currently in custody awaiting trial.

The pop star has remained quiet since the hip hop mogul’s arrest. While his relationship with Diddy was a big deal and a big deal early in his career, Justin is now focusing on another chapter in his life: being a husband and father. He and his wife Hailey recently welcomed their first child, Jack, and it’s said that this is the singer’s top priority.

According to People, Justin was devastated when he heard the news of Diddy’s arrest. However, he still wants to focus on his present life instead of looking back at his haunting and troubled past.
