Justin Bieber deeply shaken by disturbing P Diddy allegations as fans concerned
Justin Bieber and P Diddy ‘s relationship started when Justin’s career took off as a teenager – and has become talked about on the internet ever since Diddy’s homes were raided this week in connection to sex trafficking.
This week, P Diddy, whose real name is Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs was ordered to be held without bail after being charged with sex trafficking. Manhattan federal Magistrate Judge Robyn Tarnofsky made the ruling after an almost two-hour-long hearing where prosecutors and the musician’s lawyer argued on whether he should be jailed until he faces trial.
The judge agreed with the argument put forward by the US Attorney’s office that Combs is a danger to the public and the potential witness in the case against him. He pleaded not guilty to racketeering conspiracy and sex trafficking charges this afternoon, with his lawyers offering $50million (€45M) for bail and in-home detention.

Judge Tarnofsky heard both sides and taking a brief break to consult with court officials, it was ordered that Combs be ‘detained’. The next hearing is set for September 24. The Last Night rapper was led out of court without being handcuffed.
Now, concerns are growing for Baby hitmaker Justin, 30, as he is said to have been left ‘deeply disturbed’ by the news of P Diddy’s sex trafficking charges. The pair have been connected since early on in Justin’s career. Justin was 15 when he was signed to Usher’s record label and taken under the wing of the Caught Up hitmaker.
Around this time, a video deemed “creepy” online was made of Diddy and Justin where the music producer claimed he was “given custody” of Justin via Usher. “He’s signed to Usher and I had legal guardianship of Usher when he did his first album,” Diddy continued as he stood next to the teenage Justin in the video.
“I don’t have legal guardianship of him [Bieber] but for the next forty-eight hours he’s with me and we’re gonna go full crazy,” Diddy continued in the now-viral video.
The two had seemingly started to hang out regularly after that clip. However, things seemed to shift as Justin’s career continued to take off. Two years later, another video came out of Diddy and Justin, where Diddy asked Justin why he didn’t hang out with him anymore. Diddy tells the 17-year-old: “You’re starting to act different huh? You ain’t been calling me and hanging out the way we used to hang out.”
“Well, I mean, you try to get in contact with me you know through all my, you know, partners, and whatnot, but you never really got my number, so want my number?” Justin responded.
A source has now claimed that new dad Justin, who welcomed a son called Jack Blues, with his wife Hailey, 27, this summer, has been left shaken up by the allegations made against Diddy, and that he has ‘cut himself off’ from the world.
“Bieber is so disturbed by the Diddy news and is unwilling to process it or discuss it so he has shut off. So many people who helped to make him who he is were very close to Diddy and it has completely thrown him. Justin hasn’t been responding on this since the home raids. He’s not going to.”
The source told Mail Online that Bieber also deeply regrets having collaborated with the disgraced music star last year following the bombshell allegations. “He had a long break from Diddy when he believes most of this took place and he had distanced himself from him. He was featured on Diddy’s most recent album, and had he known any of this, there is no way he would have done it.”
Hip-hop mogul P Diddy “engaged in a persistent and pervasive pattern of abuse toward women and other individuals”, according to the unsealed document. The indictment details allegations dating to 2008 that he abused, coerced and threatened women for years “to fulfil his sexual desires, protect his reputation, and conceal his conduct”.
He is accused of enticing female victims and male sex workers into drugged-up, sometimes days-long sexual performances dubbed “freak offs”, with Combs and victims often receiving IV fluids to recover.
