Justin Bieber is not a victim of his former friend Sean “Diddy” Combs.
“Although Justin is not among Sean Combs’ victims, there are individuals who were genuinely harmed by him,” the “Peaches” crooner’s rep told Page Six Thursday.
“Shifting focus away from this reality detracts from the justice these victims rightfully deserve.”
TMZ was first to report the news.
Last year, fans speculated that the “Baby” singer, 31, may have been a victim of Combs’ alleged antics ahead of the latter’s arrest for sex trafficking in September 2024.
At the time, videos of the duo resurfaced, including a “creepy” one of them talking about the 48 hours they would be spending together when Bieber was 15 years old.
Another showed Combs telling the then-teenage pop sensation to keep the details of their hangout a secret.
“Where we hanging out and what we doing, we can’t really disclose, but it’s definitely a 15-year-old’s dream,” Combs, 55, said in the clip.
The Bad Boy Records founder told viewers that Bieber was signed with Usher, whom he obtained legal guardianship” of when the “Yeah!” crooner was 16 and working on his self-titled first album in 1994.
“I don’t have legal guardianship of him [Bieber], but for the next 48 hours, he’s with me,” Combs said. “We gonna go full buck full crazy.”
Several people expected Bieber to speak out when Combs was arrested, but insiders told People that he was focused on his son, Jack Blues, and wife, Hailey Bieber.
After Combs’ arrest, he was accused of sexual abuse and rape by his ex Cassandra “Cassie” Ventura and several other people.
The “I’ll Be Missing You” singer, whose trial started on May 5, has denied the sexual misconduct allegations.
“No matter how many lawsuits are filed — especially by individuals who refuse to put their own names behind their claims — it won’t change the fact that Mr. Combs has never sexually assaulted or sex trafficked anyone — man or woman, adult or minor,” his attorneys previously told Page Six.
