Breaking -All the stars P Diddy has mentored: From Justin Bieber to Mary J Blige…See More 👇
Sean Diddy Combs has mentored some of the biggest stars in the entertainment industry.
Sean “Diddy” Combs, once a towering figure in the music industry, known for launching the careers of some of the biggest names in entertainment, is now facing a far more grim reality.
The former rap mogul, who mentored stars like Justin Bieber, Mary J Blige and Usher, has been incarcerated at Brooklyn’s Metropolitan Detention Centre, charged with sex trafficking, racketeering, and other serious offences. While Diddy denies all allegations, with his legal team insisting he is “an innocent man with nothing to hide,” the shocking charges have shaken the industry—and his protégés.
Justin, who has long been vocal about his gratitude to Diddy for helping him early in his career, now finds himself at the centre of a troubling storm as old footage of their time together has resurfaced.
The relationship between the now 30-year-old singer and Diddy started when Justin was just 15, and they spent a highly publicised 48 hours together, as shown in resurfaced videos that have left fans uncomfortable.
In one video, Diddy proudly parades his Lamborghini to the young star, promising Justin that the keys would be his when he turned 16. “When you’re 18, you get the mansion,” Diddy tells Justin, who cheekily asks, “Where are we going now?” Diddy’s response? “Let’s go get some girls.” The exchange between the two, once perceived as harmless, has now taken on a far more sinister undertone in light of Diddy’s legal troubles.
Justin’s involvement with Diddy didn’t end in those early years. The singer recently contributed to Diddy’s The Love Album: Off The Grid, recording a track titled Moments in what seemed like a full-circle moment. At the time of the album’s release, Justin expressed his admiration for Diddy on Instagram, sharing a nostalgic post about their relationship. “I remember going to my brother Diddy’s office to pitch him a song when I was 14… it was a hard no,” Justin wrote, jokingly. “Fast forward to a few years ago, Puff asked if I would freestyle something for his love album. Wild full circle moment.”
However, following Diddy’s arrest, Justin has remained silent on the matter, avoiding any public commentary on the allegations against Diddy. Reports suggest that Justin had already distanced himself from Diddy for some time, with one source noting a “long break” in their relationship during the years in which the alleged crimes took place.
