Singer Beyoncé, one of the biggest stars in pop music, suffered a significant loss on her social media after the arrest of her close friend, Sean Diddy Combs, accused of serious crimes including sex trafficking.
According to data from the website Not Just Analytics, the artist has lost more than 900 thousand followers on Instagram since the case came to light.
The sharp drop in the number of followers is directly linked to speculation about the possible involvement of Beyoncé and her husband, Jay-Z, with Diddy’s illegal activities.
The long-standing friendship between the three artists has been the target of questions from fans, who are seeking answers about Beyoncé’s relationship with the case and demanding a public statement from the singer.
Despite pressure from fans, Beyoncé has maintained a low profile on the matter and continues to post on her social media as usual. The lack of an official statement on the case has generated even more speculation and debate among fans, who are divided between those who defend the artist’s privacy and those who demand an explanation about her relationship with Diddy.
