Justin Bieber and P Diddy became friends at the start of Justin’s career when he was just 15 and the rapper was in his forties – now fans have questioned their relationship
Justin Bieber reportedly “thrown to the wolves” while hanging out with P Diddy as a teen.
Justin was just 15, and Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs was already in his forties when they struck up a friendship at the beginning of Bieber’s career. The young star spent ample time with the rapper, which is triggering concerns among fans following Combs’ recent arrest.
Allegations have emerged that Justin was exposed to a risky environment by those around him during his rise to fame.
On September 16, this year, Combs found himself entangled with the law in New York City, facing grave charges ranging from suspected sex trafficking to racketeering and transportation for prostitution purposes. A 2011 interview that raised eyebrows has resurfaced and has fans worried.

In an interaction on Jimmy Kimmel’s show, Kimmel questioned Bieber about his hangouts with Combs. To this, Combs responded: “He knows better than to be talking about the things he does with big brother Puff on national television. Everything ain’t for everybody.”, reports the Mirror.
In August 2023, Bieber appeared on Combs’ album The Love Album and shared his excitement on Instagram, saying: “Wild full circle, love you.”
The beginnings of Combs and Bieber’s acquaintance stretch back to 2009 when they met at the VMAs following Biebers signing by Usher who had a past living with Diddy during his youth. Usher, reflecting on Diddy’s influence, has criticized the guidance received from the rapper, admitting to MTV in 2010 that none of the advice he got from Combs would be passed along by him.
Combs is potentially facing legal action from up to 120 individuals, according to attorney Tony Buzbee.
During a press conference on Tuesday, Buzbee accused Diddy of using horse tranquilizers to drug his alleged victims.
Buzbee has announced plans to file lawsuits against the rapper within the next 30 days. He stated that these claims will come from both men and women who were between the ages of nine and 38 at the time of the alleged incidents.
The alleged abuse is said to have spanned over a period of more than 20 years.
In response to the press conference, Diddy’s attorney Erica Wolff has denied all claims against him. Combs himself has also denied the allegations and pleaded not guilty before a judge.
