Justin Bieber<\/a> has finally spoken out about rumours connecting him to Sean \u2018Diddy<\/a>\u2019 Combs.<\/p>\n

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\u2019s early years in the music industry.<\/p>\n

In 2024, a video resurfaced showing Justin \u2013 who was a minor at the time \u2013 hanging out with Combs for \u201948 hours\u2019, while the pair collaborated on an album.<\/p>\n

On Thursday, days after Combs\u2019 sex trafficking trial <\/a>began, Bieber\u2019s spokesperson released a statement addressing the situation.<\/p>\n

They told TMZ: \u2018Although Justin is not among Sean Combs\u2019 victims, there are individuals who were genuinely harmed by him.<\/p>\n

\u2018Shifting focus away from this reality detracts from the justice these victims rightfully deserve.\u2019<\/p>\n

Combs\u2019 trial started in New York on Monday, as he faces charges of racketeering, sex trafficking and transportation\u00a0to engage in prostitution<\/a>.<\/p>\n

He has denied all allegations, and could spend the rest of his life in prison if convicted.<\/p>\n

Combs aided in Justin\u2019s path to fame, having been a mentor to Usher who signed the Canadian singer at just 14 after Scooter Braun discovered him.<\/p>\n

An insider previously told\u00a0Us Weekly<\/a>\u00a0he \u2018wants to protect himself\u2019 and is\u00a0\u2018completely disgusted\u2019 by the allegations<\/a>.<\/p>\n

In a video taken in 2010 when Bieber was 16, the young singer can be seen stuttering and looking uncomfortable as Combs asks him why he doesn\u2019t hang out with him anymore.<\/p>\n

They maintained a friendship over the years and Justin even collaborated on Diddy\u2019s song Moment on his The Love Album: Off the Grid in 2023.<\/p>\n

A source has since told the\u00a0Daily Mail:<\/a>\u00a0\u2018Bieber is so disturbed by the Diddy news and is unwilling to process it or discuss it so he has shut off.\u2019<\/p>\n

They also added that Bieber deeply regrets their most recent collaboration and wouldn\u2019t have done it if he had known of Combs\u2019 alleged illegal activities.<\/p>\n

This week, Combs\u2019 ex Cassie Ventura has been testifying<\/a> in court, and on Thursday she returned to the stand.<\/p>\n

One of the rapper\u2019s attorneys Anna Estevao quizzed Ventura on her time on the set of 2016\u2019s Honey 3 in South Africa, asking: \u2018Mr. Combs suspected you of [having] a relationship with whom?\u2019, and Ventura replied: \u2018Michael B. Jordan.\u2019<\/p>\n

Ventura also admitted she was \u2018angry\u2019 around that period as she saw a photo of Combs with another woman, but she \u2018tried her best\u2019 to focus on the film.<\/p>\n

She also acknowledged Combs\u2019 jealousy <\/a>of her fling with Kid Cudi, citing his stature in the industry.<\/p>\n

Elsewhere on Thursday, she revealed her ex once overdosed at the Playboy Mansion.<\/p>\n

\u2018That evening, we had a freak-off<\/a>. We went to a sex club in San Bernardino. And then he had a party at the Playboy Mansion that night, and I went home,\u2019 Ventura testified.<\/p>\n

\u2018From what he told me, he took a really strong opioid that night. But we didn\u2019t know what happened, so we took him to the hospital.\u2019<\/p>\n

She said the \u2018Freak-Offs\u2019, described by the defence as consistent with a swingers\u2019 lifestyle, occurred weekly throughout much of the relationship.<\/p>\n

Ventura insisted Combs introduced her to the practice, which he reportedly viewed as voyeurism.<\/p>\n
