Justin Bieber was observed in Los Angeles on Friday, October 4, appearing melancholy.
The celebrity, who has been the subject of online speculation regarding his purported association with Sean "Diddy" Combs' abuse, was observed departing the Chateau Marmont in his vehicle, OK! Magazine reported.
A white sweatshirt and a white and red scarf were draped around the head of the 30-year-old new father, who appeared tired.
Many have speculated that the "One Less Lonely Girl" singer may have been an alleged victim of the music mogul, 54, who was recently charged with racketeering conspiracy s-- trafficking by force, fraud or coercion, and transportation to indulge in prostitution. The outing followed this speculation.
Fans continued to speculate about the rapper's relationship with Bieber at the outset of his career, even after 120 victims, including numerous minors, disclosed their allegations, as per The Daily Mail.
Fuel was added to the flames by a resurfaced 2011 Jimmy Kimmel Live! interview with Bieber and Combs.
Combs's comment may have raised alarms, as he cautioned the "Baby" artist, who was under 18 at the time, to remain silent about the activities the duo engages in behind closed doors.
During the interview, Jimmy Kimmel inquired about the duo's unexpected relationship as they sat side-by-side.
Combs stated that he and Bieber had formed "in a strange way," and he referred to the pop star as his "little brother" who is not "afraid" to contact him and seek advice, The New York Post reported.
The musician described the "record industry as a strong family," and how he and his pals "have their arms around and want to protect" Bieber.
Bieber is "genuinely a nice person," Combs then exclaimed. “He's one of the greatest kids you could ever know," he said.
Bieber took Combs' hand and explained that the "I'll Be Missing You" vocalist had purchased him a Lamborghini, but he had not yet received the gift.
Kimmel inquired about the timing of Combs's delivery of the luxury item to the child.
"[Justin] had the Lambo for a day or two and he had access to the house, and he knows better than to be talking about the things that he does with Big Brother Puff on national television," the music executive declared.
The audience laughed at his comment, and Combs added, "Some things... everything ain't for everybody."
The shocking footage resurfaced as Combs remained in the Brooklyn Metropolitan Detention Center without bond.
The 14-page indictment accused Combs of leading a criminal "enterprise" that "engaged in, and attempted to engage in, among other activities, s-- trafficking, forced labor, interstate transportation for purposes of prostitution, coercion and enticement to engage in prostitution, narcotics offenses, kidnapping, arson, bribery, and obstruction of justice."
Combs entered a plea of "not guilty" to the allegations. Furthermore, many of Combs' purported victims are pursuing legal action against him.
