In a candid revelation, Billie Eilish has opened up about a dark chapter early in her career, expressing deep gratitude to Justin Bieber for his role in protecting her from threats from music mogul Diddy.
The young superstar, known for her authenticity and vulnerability, credited Bieber for offering guidance and protection as she rose to fame.
Eilish, who has been vocal about her admiration for Bieber, shared in a recent interview: “Justin was so warm and amazing to me when I was starting out. I didn’t really understand the industry or the darker side of it, but he warned me about Diddy and some of the dangers that come with that kind of fame. He’s always had my back, and I’ll never forget that.”
At the time, Eilish was still a teenager, navigating the intense pressures of stardom. Bieber, who rocketed to fame at a young age, reportedly reached out to her when he noticed troubling behavior from certain industry figures, including Diddy, who has been at the center of numerous controversies in recent years. Bieber, having experienced the darker side of the industry firsthand, recognized the need to step in and help protect Eilish from the manipulation and threats that often lurked behind the glossy facade of the music business.
According to sources close to both stars, Bieber warned Eilish about Diddy’s behavior, warning her to stay away from him and his circle. The music mogul has been accused of several disturbing crimes, including sexual misconduct involving underage stars like Justin Bieber himself and Usher. While Diddy has consistently denied the allegations, many in the industry have begun to speak out against his history of predatory behavior, and Bieber’s early warning may have saved Eilish from becoming another victim.
For Eilish, Bieber’s protective nature and advice came at a critical time in her life. “I was so naive back then,” she continued. “But Justin took the time to explain what was going on and made sure I was safe. I don’t think I would be where I am today without him looking out for me.”
The bond between Eilish and Bieber has only grown stronger over the years, with both artists often publicly praising each other. Their shared experiences of early fame have created a unique connection, and Eilish’s recent comments highlight just how much Bieber’s guidance meant to her during those formative years.
As the music industry continues to grapple with its history of power imbalances and abuses, stories like Eilish’s serve as a reminder of the importance of solidarity among artists. While Diddy’s alleged wrongdoings have yet to be fully addressed in a court of law, the growing number of testimonies against him only reinforces the need for accountability in the entertainment business.
For now, Billie Eilish remains eternally grateful to Justin Bieber, describing him not only as a fellow artist but as a true friend and protector. “You are so warm and amazing, Justin,” she said. “Thank you for always being there for me.”
