Justin Bieber denies ties to Diddy's human trafficking case
"Justin Bieber has broken his silence," reports Western media. With the assistance of his spokesperson, the musician denied being a victim of Sean 'Diddy' Combs, who aided him in entering the music industry at the age of 15. This statement emerged in the context of a human trafficking trial in which Combs is accused.
The trial of Sean Combs, known as Diddy, has commenced in New York. The musician, who gained fame as P. Diddy and Puff Daddy, faces charges of serious sexual offences, including human trafficking and extortion.
The NY Post highlighted that Justin Bieber might have been one of the musician's victims, but the well-known singer has now refuted these reports. Finally, we have a statement. Let's recall that it was Combs who helped Bieber launch his music career at the age of 15.
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 - Bieber's representatives stated to TMZ.
TMZ, citing its sources, further reports that Bieber and the rapper were not closely acquainted. The young musician, however, was reportedly friends with Diddy's sons.
During the ongoing trial in a federal court in Manhattan, speculations arose about Combs's relationship with Bieber. Many recalled recordings in which Combs and a young Bieber appeared together.
In one of the 2009 videos, Combs says to the camera, "He’s having 48 hours with Diddy. Where we hanging out and what we doing, we can't really disclose, but it's definitely a 15-year-old's dream. I don’t have legal guardianship of him [Bieber], but for the next 48 hours, he’s with me. We gonna go full buck full crazy."
The trial of the well-known rapper
Combs' lawyer contends that the charges pertain to his private sexual life, which was based on consent, not coercion.
The testimonies of his victims, however, are shocking. His ex-wife, Cassie, accused him of violence and forcing her to interact with other men.
During the trial, distressing details about Combs' notorious parties were also uncovered.
For many years, Diddy remained unpunished. He held a strong position in the industry. In addition to music, Combs also built a business empire, investing in a clothing brand, among other ventures.
