After some difficult "encounters" in the music business, Justin Bieber pondered on them.
The 30-year-old Canadian singer, who became famous while still a teenager, has spoken out about his wish to protect up-and-coming musicians like Billie Eilish from the difficulties he faced.
Although his former mentor Sean "Diddy" Combs is currently facing sex trafficking and jail time, he has chosen to remain mute on the matter.

When advising Billie Eilish when she was an up-and-coming artist at the age of 18, Justin made it clear that he wanted to shield her from harm as she started her career.
The "Baby" singer broke down in tears when talking to Apple Music's Zane Lowe on his early days in the spotlight in a profound 2020 interview, Express US reported.
As he described feeling alone and bewildered, his voice quivered.
"It was hard for me being the music industry and being that young and not knowing where to turn and everyone, you know, telling me they loved me, and, you know, just turn your back on you in a second,” Justin said.
"If she [Billie] ever needs me I'm going to be here for her... but, yeah, just protecting those moments because people take for granted... encounters... and... I just want to protect her. I don't want her to go through anything I went through. I don't wish that upon anybody," the "One Less Lonely Girl" hitmaker went on.
Throughout the talk, Zane demonstrated genuine empathy as Bieber opened up about his troubles.
Justin is savoring fatherhood now that he and Hailey have welcomed their first child, a son named Jack Blues.
Relatives and friends of the family say the new father is "in a happy bubble" and giving his all to his roles as a parent and spouse, PEOPLE Magazine reported.
"He's aware of Diddy's arrest and all the allegations. It's not anything that he wants to focus on, though," an undisclosed informant stated.
Even 27-year-old model Hailey is among the many Bieber family members who are ecstatic about the birth of their son, Jack Blues Bieber.
Rumor has it that Justin was "over the moon" about becoming a parent and that Hailey and Justin are "overjoyed" to welcome a boy.
