After his close friend Sean "Diddy" Combs was arrested in New York on charges of racketeering conspiracy, s-- trafficking by force, fraud or coercion, and transportation to engage in prostitution, the 45-year-old singer of "Confessions" deleted all of his tweets from his X, formerly known as Twitter, account.
Usher's account was devoid of any posts, media, or replies on Sunday, September 22. Nevertheless, a few of the entertainer's most notable performances continue to endure.
The transition caused confusion among social media users, with one individual expressing uncertainty. "Whoa. Apparently @Usher has deleted his entire Twitter /@X history Why would someone high profile do that?"
"Nobody on Usher’s team said ‘deleting 7K posts is going to look crazy as h--- given the circumstances?'" a second individual voiced their opinion.
"Usher scrapping his entire Twitter history says everything we need to know," an additional individual disclosed the peculiar maneuver.
The Superbowl Halftime performer's intriguing online activity coincides with the fact that certain individuals in the music industry have defended Sean following his arrest. Ray J, as previously reported by OK! Magazine, maintained that he had never observed any illicit activity at the residence of the Making the Band alum.
“We’ve never seen the stuff that’s being said and the stuff that people are finding out,” during a recent interview, the 43-year-old rapper known as "Hit It First" asserted. “I’ve never been in rooms that people are talking about and I never knew they existed."
Sean, 54, is presently being held without bail in Brooklyn's Metropolitan Detention Center after Judge Andrew L. Carter determined that he is a flight risk and a danger.
Following the mogul's detention on Monday, September 16, his legal team issued a statement that read, "We are disappointed with the decision to pursue what we believe is an unjust prosecution of Mr. Combs by the U.S. Attorney’s Office. Sean is a music icon, self-made entrepreneur, loving family man, and proven philanthropist who has spent the last 30 years building an empire, adoring his children, and working to uplift the Black community."
"He is an imperfect person but is not criminal. To his credit, Mr. Combs has been nothing but cooperative with this investigation and he voluntarily relocated to New York last week in anticipation of these charges. Please reserve your judgment until you have all the facts. These are the acts of an innocent man with nothing to hide, and he looks forward to clearing his name in court," they continued to convey their message, as per BBC.
