In a recent series of allegations, Suge Knight, the former CEO of Death Row Records, has leveled explosive accusations against music mogul Sean "Diddy" Combs, claiming Combs engaged in abusive and inappropriate behavior toward music icons Justin Bieber and Usher. The accusations, which surfaced during an interview Knight gave from prison with reformed mobster Michael Franzese, paint a disturbing picture of Diddy's alleged conduct during Bieber's formative years under his mentorship.
Knight, who is serving time behind bars, accused Diddy of exploiting Bieber and fostering a toxic environment. "It was the saddest thing in the world what they did to Justin Bieber. I hate to say that because I really like Justin Bieber. I feel bad for Justin Bieber," Knight said, according to HipHopDx. He further alleged that Bieber was taken on "romantic vacations" by grown men under Diddy's guidance, claiming, "He had grown men take Justin Bieber, when he was young, on romantic vacations, showing pictures on Instagram with no women-nobody else but grown successful men and this little kid."
Knight also implicated Usher, alleging Diddy engaged in an inappropriate relationship with the R&B star. "Everybody knows what Puffy did. There's not one person that didn't know that Puffy was f***ing Usher," Knight stated in the interview. The claims have reignited past speculation and drawn renewed scrutiny toward Diddy, who is currently facing a wave of legal troubles, including charges of sex trafficking and racketeering. Combs has denied all allegations against him.
The timing of Knight's statements aligns with the heightened attention on Diddy's legal challenges, as several Jane and John Does have come forward with lawsuits against him. Although these claims remain unsubstantiated and Diddy continues to deny any wrongdoing, Knight's remarks have fueled widespread debate online. Old videos of Bieber and Diddy interacting have resurfaced on social media, further amplifying public interest and speculation.
Amid these allegations, sources close to Justin Bieber have expressed concern about the singer's mental well-being. A report from In Touch indicated that Bieber has "shut himself off from the world" in the wake of the controversy surrounding Diddy's arrest. While Bieber has not publicly commented on the accusations or his past association with Diddy, insiders suggest that the ordeal has taken a toll on him. "It's like he's fallen off the map since Diddy's arrest and all the sick details coming out. People are genuinely worried about him," a source revealed.
Despite attempts to maintain a public façade of normalcy, including a joyful Halloween celebration with his wife, Hailey Bieber, and their son, Bieber's inner circle reportedly fears that he is deeply affected. "Justin hardly ever gets out," another source said. "Everyone thought his lack of socializing was because he was embracing being a dad, but now those close to him are concerned it's a deeper issue."
The unfolding situation is further complicated by Bieber's reported financial struggles. Allegations of financial mismanagement by his former business managers and issues with unpaid property taxes have added to his stress. The singer is reportedly exploring legal action against his ex-managers.
