According to the NY Post , Bieber’s interview with Apple’s Music’s Zane Lowe in February 2020 is attracting attention again. The reason is that the person who supported him in the early stages of his career – rapper Sean “Diddy” Combs – has just been arrested for sex trafficking. Many viewers believe that in the interview, Bieber hinted that Diddy had treated him badly.

The conversation four years ago revolved around the album Changes , the story of Bieber entering the entertainment industry as a teenager. When the MC asked what he thought about Billie Eilish – the rising singer of 2020 – the singer used himself as an example, hoping to become a good example for her juniors. “I want to protect her, I don’t want Eilish to go through what I went through. I don’t want anyone to go through that either. She can call me whenever she needs me,” the singer choked up.

Justin Bieber said that in the past, he had to fight to survive in the entertainment industry, and sometimes felt that life was “terrible and dark”. Without explaining what bad things happened, the singer said that he “lived in shame” because of his past troubles.

Although Bieber did not mention Sean “Diddy” Combs by name, many social media accounts assumed he was referring to the “rap kingpin”‘s trauma. In 2008, he signed a contract with Usher’s RBMG Music label – Diddy’s protégé – and the two have since developed a close relationship, having collaborated on the song ” Moments” released last year.

Many fans also reposted a video of a 2008 interview between the rapper and Bieber, in which Diddy said he would spend 48 hours alone with the singer – who was about 14 – and do “unspeakable things”. Fans were concerned that the relationship could have a negative impact on Bieber’s mental health.

The suspicions about the hidden side of the relationship between Bieber and Diddy have not stopped when many people thought that the MV Yummy (2020) from Justin Bieber’s album Changes contained a message condemning sex crimes in the entertainment industry. Most of the content of this music video depicts a group of rich people enjoying a party, and Bieber’s character is not a guest but “food” waiting to be enjoyed.

Justin Bieber has not yet commented on fans’ speculations and concerns.
