Justin Bieber has broken his silence on explosive rumors connecting him to Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs just days after the Musician’s sex trafficking trial began.

The 55-year-old rapper has been accused of a string of depraved crimes, and there were widespread fears among fans that Bieber, 31, may have been abused by Diddy during his early years in the music industry.

Last year, a video of the couple resurfaced that some fans called “disturbing” and showed Combs and Justin, who was underage at the time, hanging out during “48 Hours.” The couple also worked on an album together.

However, the troubled singer issued a statement on Thursday, insisting he was not attacked by the rapper.

“While Justin is not among Sean Combs’ victims, there are individuals who were truly harmed by him. This shifting focus on reality detracts from the justice these victims rightfully deserve,” his spokesperson said in a statement to TMZ.

DailyMail.com has reached out to Bieber’s representatives for comment.

Sources told TMZ in a story published Thursday that Diddy never abused Bieber in any way; spotted in 2014 in Atlanta

Sources also told TMZ on Thursday that the homecoming rapper never abused Justin in any way.

Regarding Diddy and Justin’s videos together, experts stated that the interactions were simply “performative,” explaining that Bieber was closer to the rapper’s children rather than Sean.

Not long after Combs was arrested in upstate New York on charges of sex trafficking and extortion, which he has denied, a source opened up to DailyMail.com about Justin’s reaction to the news.

“Bieber is so disturbed by Diddy News and unwilling to process or discuss it that he has shut it down.”

The source added, “A lot of people helped make him very close to Diddy, and he’s completely dumped him.” Justin hasn’t responded to this since the raids at home. He’s not going to.

According to the source, the singer also expressed regret over working with Combs on the rapper’s 2023 album, titled The Love Album: Off the Grid.

“She had a long break from Diddy when she thinks most of this happened and had distanced herself from him.”

They continued: “It was on Diddy’s most recent album, and if I had known any of this, there’s no way I would have done it.”

A representative for Justin shared a statement with TMZ saying, “Although Justin is not among Sean Combs’ victims, there are people who were truly harmed by him.” The shifting focus on this reality detracts from the justice these victims rightfully deserve.” Combs was seen in court on Thursday.

A past video also resurfaced last year when Combs and Bieber documented spending ’48 hours’ together

A past video also resurfaced last year when Combs and Bieber documented spending ’48 hours’ together.

In the clip, the pair could be seen standing side by side, and Diddy stated, “It’s 48 hours with Diddy, where we hang out and what we’re doing, we can’t really reveal. But it’s definitely a 15-year-old’s dream.”

She added: “I’ve been given custody of him. He’s signed to Usher, and I had legal guardianship of Usher when he made his first album.

“I don’t have legal guardianship of him [Bieber], but for the next 48 hours he’s with me and we’re going to go crazy.”

The baby hitmaker could be seen sporting a purple button-down, as well as a black cap while standing next to Diddy.

During the clip, Justin offered simple responses to the combs, such as saying ‘yes’ and also ‘crazy’.

At the time, social media users had jumped on X to share their thoughts on the resurfaced reel that surfaced the same week Diddy had been arrested following a sex trafficking investigation.

One wrote: ‘These videos need to resurface to expose P Diddy’s disturbing behavior around a 15-year-old Justin Bieber.

“Bieber is so disturbed by Diddy News and unwilling to process or discuss it, so he’s shut down,” a source previously told DailyMail.com; seen in 2010

‘This is how a creepy monster behaves. DISTURBING. We should hold people accountable, regardless of their status or fame!’ they added.

Another wrote: “This P Diddy and Justin Bieber video will always be creepy,” while another added: “Diddy’s weird obsession with a young Justin Bieber was always disturbing. Hollywood needs to stop excusing these twisted power dynamics.”

One user X shared: ‘A fully grown diddy with 15-year-old Justin Bieber talking about partying with him. Look how awkward Justin Bieber is.

In March of last year, another clip resurfaced shortly after the disgraced rapper’s homes in Miami and Los Angeles were raided.

The video showed Diddy asking Justin, who was 16 at the time, why he hadn’t talked to him much.

What’s up, man? Selling arenas and all? Starting to act different, huh? You haven’t been calling me and hanging out like we used to.

Bieber, who appeared to be flustered, responded with, ‘I mean you tried to get in touch with me all my… and what not… but you never got my number. I’m gonna tell you my number.’

The couple has been spotted hanging out on more than one occasion in the past, such as at a party in Atlanta in 2014.

The video showed Diddy asking Justin, who was 16 at the time, why he hadn’t talked to him much.

They were also spotted at a Grammys after-party in 2016 and on Jimmy Kimmel Live in 2011 (seen above).

Fans also claimed last year that Justin’s 2021 song “Lonely” possibly hinted at what allegedly happened between him and Diddy when he was a minor.

Some of the lyrics include: ‘And everybody saw me sick/ And it felt like nobody gave a s**t/ Criticized the things that I did as a dumb kid.

‘What if you had it all/ And felt like no one was calling? Maybe then you’d know me/ ‘Cause I’ve had it all/ But no one’s listening/ And that’s just lonely. I’m so lonely. Lonely.’

One fan wrote: ‘No one protected him. Not even his family. I absolutely love this song, but the words have always stood out to me. I hope he can heal with time.’

Diddy’s sex trafficking trial officially began earlier this week on Monday, and his ex Cassie Ventura has been on the stand since Tuesday.

In 2023, he notably filed a lawsuit against Combs, which was settled for an undisclosed amount just one day later.

The two stars had been in a relationship from 2007 to 2018, which Ventura went into detail about during questioning.

Diddy’s sex trafficking trial officially began earlier this week on Monday, and his ex Cassie Ventura has been on the stand since Tuesday; Cassie was seen in court on Thursday.

Text message exchanges were shown to the jury Thursday, including one in which she expressed a desire to play a bigger role in Diddy’s life, as well as his children from previous relationships.

However, he felt that the main role he had in his life was to be part of the rapper’s ‘monsters’, and explained to the court: ‘It could be a little heartbreaking,’ per people.

Celebrity names have also recently been dragged into the trial, such as Bruce Willis and Britney Spears.

Cassie is expected to return to court once again on Friday as questioning continues.
