Justin Bieber has broken his silence on explosive rumors connecting him to Sean ‘Diddy‘ Combs just days after the disgraced music mogul’s sex trafficking trial began.
The rapper, 55, has been accused of a string of depraved crimes and there was widespread fears among fans that Bieber, 31, may have been sexually abused by Diddy during his early years in the music industry.
Last year, a video of the pair resurfaced which some fans labeled as ‘disturbing’ and showed Combs and Justin – who was a minor at the time – hanging out for ’48 hours.’ The pair also worked together on an album.
However, the troubled singer released a statement on Thursday, insisting he wasn’t targeted by the rapper.
‘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,’ his spokesperson said in a statement to TMZ
