Justin Bieber has finally spoken out about rumours connecting him to Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs.

The 31-year-old pop star has responded after widespread concern from fans that he could have been abused by the 55-year-old disgraced rapper during the Love Yourself singer’s early years in the music industry.

In 2024, a video resurfaced showing Justin – who was a minor at the time – hanging out with Combs for ’48 hours’, while the pair collaborated on an album.

On Thursday, days after Combs’ sex trafficking trial began, Bieber’s spokesperson released a statement addressing the situation.

They told 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.’

Combs’ trial started in New York on Monday, as he faces charges of racketeering, sex trafficking and transportation to engage in prostitution.

He has denied all allegations, and could spend the rest of his life in prison if convicted.

Combs aided in Justin’s path to fame, having been a mentor to Usher who signed the Canadian singer at just 14 after Scooter Braun discovered him.

An insider previously told Us Weekly he ‘wants to protect himself’ and is ‘completely disgusted’ by the allegations.

The pair collaborated as recently as 2023, with Justin appearing on Diddy’s The Love Album: Off the Grid record which also had features from the Weeknd, French Montana, Mary J. Blige, and John Legend.
