Justin Bieber’s Rep Speaks Up
Well, Justin’s camp said, don’t play with him. A rep for the singer came through and shut those rumor all the way down, telling TMZ:
“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.”
The speculation started bubbling up last year, with fans digging deep and trying to piece together a connection—but according to Team Bieber, y’all can go ahead and log outta that theory. And let’s not forget, this all comes as Diddy is in the thick of multiple lawsuits and a full-blown federal investigation involving serious charges like sex trafficking and racketeering.
Social Media Weighs In
As soon as Justin’s name got tossed into the Diddy drama, social media did not hold back. From defending Bieber to curious commentary, the internet voiced its opinions. And, fans took to The Shade Room Instagram comment section to share their thoughts.
One Instagram user @anf420 said, “its weird af that people want him to be a victim so bad 😂🤦🏾♂️ he a grown man & bro said he’s good”
Instagram user @realnamepryncess wrote, “Justin Bieber said leave him out of this lol”
While Instagram user @_naaajjjj_ added, “I believe he was. Justin just doesn’t want no parts.”
Instagram user @myakarem commented, “The way, Justin acting, he got to be a victim of something😂😂”
Meanwhile, Instagram user @_a1real said, “Oh yall believe Justin was a victim but not Cassie ?? Yall are very strange”
Likewise, Instagram user @yungscotty6 added, “Lmao Cassie need the sympathy yall giving Justin”
How The Bieber Rumor Took Off
One reason the speculation took off was a resurfaced video of a young Justin Bieber and Diddy that recently started making the rounds again online. In the clip, Diddy is seen making comments about “hanging out” with the singer, but some believe Justin appears uncomfortable. The video, which many had forgotten, quickly sparked concern and raised eyebrows, with social media users questioning the nature of their past relationship and whether there was more to the story.
Adding fuel to the fire, fans also pointed to Justin’s emotional 2020 interview where he broke down while talking about wanting to protect Billie Eilish. At the time, many saw it as a general moment of vulnerability, but now, some are viewing it in a new light.
Combine that with Bieber’s recent public behavior—appearing withdrawn, emotional, and at times, seemingly spiraling—and folks online started connecting dots, wondering if there’s a deeper backstory behind it all.
