Justin Bieber’s Allegations In Ongoing Trial
Justin Bieber has become linked to the ongoing trial involving Sean Combs, as he is alleged to be one of the victims in this sexual trafficking case.
History of Their Relationship
Their association began in 2008, shortly after the then 14-year-old singer signed with Asher’s and Scooter Braun’s RBMG Records.
A year later, Bieber shared a video titled “48 hours of Justin Bieber with Didi!!” on his YouTube channel, where Diddy mentions, “Where we hang out and what we are doing, we cannot really open. But this is definitely the dream of a 15-year-old.”
The founder of Bad Boy Records added, “They gave me custody. You know, he signed, and I had legitimate guardianship of Asher when he made his first album… We will go completely crazy.”
Social media users frequently reference this interaction, believing that Bieber may have been a victim of Diddy amidst the alleged misconduct. A notable instance occurred in a 2021 video where Diddy appears to pat the singer, leading some to speculate that Diddy was checking the young artist.

Bieber has remained silent following the arrest of his former employee in September, who faces charges related to sexual trafficking and racketeering. The trial against Combs, initiated by his ex-partner Cassie Ventura in 2023, began on Monday (May 12).
Representatives for Bieber have released a statement denying that he is a victim of Diddy. “Although Justin is not among Sean Combs’ victims, there are individuals who were genuinely harmed by him,” the representative stated (as reported by People).
“The excessive attention on this matter detracts from the justice that these victims deserve.”
Diddy has not yet issued a response to Bieber’s statement.
This comes at a challenging time for Bieber, as he has recently lost his grandfather. He has publicly addressed allegations he calls “gossip” and “lies” regarding his personal life and has denied reports suggesting he is in financial trouble, labeling them as “poorly informed” and “clickbait stupidity.”
Meanwhile, the trial surrounding Combs has seen Ventura testify against him in court, recounting instances of alleged physical and emotional abuse. Many of these recollections relate to so-called “strange” sexual encounters involving male escorts.
Combs has denied the accusations of sexual trafficking and racketeering and refutes all other allegations of misconduct raised against him. He has also pleaded not guilty to five charges, including conspiracy to commit racketeering, human trafficking, and facilitating prostitution. He continues to assert that all sexual activities described by prosecutors were consensual.
