The north of the border singer “is” one of the victims of the producer/wannabe rapper.
He has mentioned it in the past.
He has been victimized by more than him though.
Justin Bieber
Sean Combs (Diddy)
First, the pop star found himself swept up in wild speculation surrounding the federal investigation into Sean “Diddy” Combs. Following raids on Diddy’s homes and explosive allegations surfacing in a lawsuit, social media users began theorizing that Bieber might be among the unnamed victims—mainly due to his past friendship with Diddy and resurfaced clips of them together.
However, sources close to Bieber shut those rumors down fast. They told TMZ that Justin has never accused Diddy of anything, is not involved in the investigation, and has not been contacted by authorities. Any relationship between the two was strictly industry-based, and no misconduct occurred. In short, the viral speculation has no basis in fact.
While debunking one controversy, Bieber sparked another himself. He posted (then quickly deleted) a shirtless Instagram selfie with the caption “me and my drug,” referring to his wife, Hailey Bieber. Though he may have intended it as a romantic metaphor, the post was met with heavy backlash due to his history of substance abuse. Critics called it tone-deaf and potentially triggering, especially given how openly Bieber has spoken about his past struggles with addiction and mental health.
The post added fuel to ongoing public concerns about Justin and Hailey’s emotional well-being, especially as recent clips have shown Hailey appearing tense and withdrawn during public outings.
