Justin Bieber refutes claims amid Diddy's trafficking trial
"Justin Bieber has broken his silence," report the Western media. The musician, through his spokesperson, has denied being a victim of Sean 'Diddy' Combs, who helped him enter the music industry at the age of 15. This statement appeared in connection with a human trafficking trial in which Combs is accused.
The trial of Sean Combs, known as Diddy, has begun in New York. The musician, who gained fame as P. Diddy and Puff Daddy, is accused of serious sexual offenses, including human trafficking and extortion.
As emphasized by the NY Post, one of the musician's potential victims could have been Justin Bieber, but the well-known singer has now denied these reports. A statement has finally been issued. Let us remember that it was Combs who helped Bieber start his music career when he was 15.
In a statement to TMZ, Justin Bieber's representatives clarified that while Justin is not among Sean Combs' victims, there are individuals who were genuinely harmed by him. They emphasized that diverting attention from this fact undermines the justice those victims deserve.
TMZ, citing its own sources, further reports that Bieber and the rapper did not have a close relationship. The young musician, however, was said to be friends with Diddy's sons.
During the ongoing trial, being held in federal court in Manhattan, there have been speculations about the relationship between Combs and Bieber. Many people have recalled recordings in which Combs and a young Bieber appear together.
In a video from 2009, Sean Combs addresses the camera, stating that a 15-year-old has been placed in his care for 48 hours. He describes the young person as Usher’s protégé and notes that while the details of their time together can’t be disclosed, it would be a dream come true for someone that age, and they were going to have a good time.
Trial of the well-known rapper
Combs' lawyer claims the allegations concern his private sexual life, which was based on consent and not coercion.
The testimonies of his victims, however, are shocking. His former wife, Cassie, accused him of violence and forcing her to engage with other men.
During the trial, alarming details regarding Combs' infamous parties were also revealed.
For many years, Diddy remained unpunished. He had a strong position in the industry. Apart from music, Combs also built a business empire, investing, among other things, in a clothing brand.
