There\u2019s been a lot of buzz lately linking Justin Bieber to Sean \u2018Diddy\u2019 Combs\u2019 ongoing criminal trial, but Bieber\u2019s team has come out strongly to deny any involvement or connection to the rapper in that way.<\/p>\n
Justin, now 31, first met Diddy when he was just a teenager starting out in music, which partly explains why old videos of the two have resurfaced on social media. One clip from 2011 shows them on Jimmy Kimmel Live!<\/em>, where Diddy mentioned something about a Lamborghini he promised young Justin. Diddy called Bieber his prot\u00e9g\u00e9 back then, but when asked about their relationship recently, he dodged questions, saying Justin \u201cknows better than to talk about what he does with Big Brother Puff\u201d on TV.<\/p>\n Another clip from 2009 shows a 15-year-old Bieber hanging out with Diddy, who told him, \u201cAs soon as you turn 16, I\u2019m gonna let you rock this car,\u201d and described their time together as \u201ca 15-year-old\u2019s dream.\u201d He said they would \u201cgo buck full crazy\u201d for two days straight but kept the details vague.<\/p>\n Even with these clips stirring speculation, sources close to Bieber told TMZ this was all part of a public persona and not the reality of their relationship. Apparently, Justin was actually closer to Diddy\u2019s sons, Quincy and Justin Combs, than to Diddy himself. Bieber\u2019s rep emphasized there was nothing inappropriate in their connection.<\/p>\n To clear things up, Bieber\u2019s camp made a statement saying, \u201cAlthough Justin is not among Sean Combs\u2019 victims, there are individuals who were genuinely harmed by him. Shifting focus away from this reality detracts from the justice these victims rightfully deserve.\u201d<\/p>\n So, while Bieber\u2019s name might keep popping up in conversations because of their past interactions, his representatives have firmly denied any involvement in the serious accusations against Diddy, stressing that Justin is not a victim in this case.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" There\u2019s been a lot of buzz lately linking Justin Bieber to Sean \u2018Diddy\u2019 Combs\u2019 ongoing criminal trial, but Bieber\u2019s team\u2026<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":294,"featured_media":74674,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[67],"tags":[574],"class_list":["post-74673","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-celebrity-news","tag-justin-bieber"],"reading_time":"2 min read","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/usa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/74673","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/usa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/usa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/usa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/294"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/usa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=74673"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/usa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/74673\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/usa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/74674"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/usa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=74673"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/usa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=74673"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/usa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=74673"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
