Justin Bieber’s supporters are speculating that lyrics from his song Lonely, released in 2021, may allude to a past experience involving him and Diddy when he was underage. In the song, Justin sings about feeling ignored and criticized during a difficult time in his life. Fans have brought up questions about the nature of Justin’s relationship with Diddy, especially after the rapper’s recent arrest in New York. Some have described footage of the two together as “creepy,” suggesting that Justin may not have been properly protected during his younger years. Despite the controversy, fans are drawn to the emotional authenticity of the song and hope that Justin finds healing in time. Requests for comment from Justin’s representatives have been made by DailyMail.com.
Beliebers are suggesting that Justin Bieber’s track Lonely from 2021 could be shedding light on his past experiences with Diddy when he was younger.
Days after Diddy, 54, was taken into custody in New York due to a sex trafficking investigation, fans began questioning the troubled rapper’s interactions with Justin, who is now 30 but was a minor at the time. Old videos of them together have resurfaced, causing some to label their relationship as ‘creepy.’ Diddy, who is 24 years older than Justin, can be seen in the footage documenting his time spent with the singer when Justin was just 15 years old.
In one of the videos that surfaced, Diddy stands beside a teenage Justin and announces to the camera that they will be spending ’48 hours’ together, engaging in activities that cannot be disclosed. He mentions having legal guardianship of Justin while he was signed to Usher, but for the next couple of days, Justin was under his care for some wild adventures.
Fans expressed discomfort with the clip, pointing out the unsettling nature of Diddy’s behavior around a 15-year-old Justin Bieber. Khloe Kardashian also recalled an encounter with Justin at one of Diddy’s extravagant events, noting that nudity was quite prevalent among the attendees.
The song “Lonely,” released in 2020, was a collaboration between Justin, Blanco Blanco, and Finneas. Justin gained fame at the age of 13 and has since reflected on the challenges of growing up in the limelight. He has faced legal troubles in the past, including a DUI arrest in January 2014 and charges for assault and dangerous driving in September of the same year.
Fans were shocked by the clip, describing it as ‘unsettling’ and ‘weird,’ saying that ‘these videos should be brought back to light to reveal the alarming actions of P Diddy towards a 15-year-old Justin Bieber.
At 19, Justin admitted to struggling with substance abuse and damaging his relationships, confessing all of this on his Instagram account in 2019.
‘I was full of resentment, treated women poorly, and was filled with anger. I distanced myself from those who cared about me, hiding behind a facade,’ he wrote.
Turning his life around, Justin tied the knot with Hailey Bieber in 2018, and in August 2024, they welcomed their first child, a son named Jack Blues Bieber.
In March, a separate video of teenage Justin and Diddy resurfaced following Homeland Security’s search of Diddy’s properties in Los Angeles and Miami.
When Justin was 16, Diddy questioned him on their dwindling communication, noting the change in their relationship.
‘Hey, what’s going on? You’re selling out arenas and everything?’ Diddy asked Justin.
‘Seems like you’re acting differently. You haven’t been reaching out to me like you used to.’
Looking uncomfortable, Justin replied, ‘I mean, you did try to reach out… but you never got my number. Here, I’ll give it to you.’
According to a source, Justin has been troubled by the accusations against Diddy and has chosen to avoid addressing or discussing it, shutting himself off from it.
In 2010 in Miami, a fan expressed their admiration for a song, noting how the lyrics resonated with them. They mentioned how the artist had not received protection from anyone, not even their family, and hoped that with time, they would be able to heal.
In March, a previously unseen video of Bieber and Diddy reemerged around the same time as Homeland Security conducted raids on the music mogul’s properties in Miami and Los Angeles.
After making positive changes in his life, Justin Bieber married Hailey Bieber in 2018. Their first child, a son named Jack Blues Bieber, was born in August 2024.
Justin Bieber revealed in late August that he and his partner have welcomed their new baby into the world, along with sharing the baby’s name.
Recently, on Monday, Diddy was arrested and later denied bail by a judge for using his and his mother’s Miami properties valued at $50 million as collateral.
His appeal to overturn the decision was unsuccessful, and he is now being held at Brooklyn’s Metropolitan Detention Center as he awaits trial for charges of sex trafficking, racketeering, and transportation for prostitution.
The unsealed indictment against Diddy this week mentioned federal raids on his Miami and Los Angeles homes, uncovering over 1,000 bottles of baby oil and lubricant. Allegations suggest that he coerced individuals into participating in extended sexual performances known as ‘freak offs’ with the help of drugs administered by his associates.
His defense attorney, Marc Agnifilo, who previously challenged federal sex trafficking charges in another case, argued that the allegations against Diddy were a misinterpretation of consensual intimate encounters.
These accusations, along with similar claims from Diddy’s ex-girlfriend Cassie, have led to concerns over the broadening use of federal sex trafficking laws by authorities to target influential figures.
Despite being placed on suicide watch at the Metropolitan Detention Center, sources say it is a standard procedure for high-profile individuals such as Diddy. Additionally, a resurfaced video from 2018 by a porn star alleging to be Diddy’s former ‘sex slave’ has added to the controversy surrounding his recent arrest.
Bieber, who is now 30 years old, formed a bond with Combs when he was just a young boy. Following the rapper’s recent arrest, various videos from the past have resurfaced. One such video is from a 2002 interview on Late Night With Conan O’Brien in which Combs talks about hosting parties and ensuring that women don’t leave by having locks on the doors.
In the interview, Combs gives advice on throwing a great party, emphasizing the importance of having beautiful people in attendance and making sure to have alcohol and water available. He explains that having water is essential because many women tend to drink water at parties and if it’s not available, they may leave.
Conan O’Brien reacts with concern to the idea of locks on the doors, calling it dangerous, but Combs brushes it off as a bit kinky. He goes on to share more party tips, like not having air conditioning on and making sure to have good music playing.
Since his recent arrest, more old clips of Combs have gone viral, including one from 2022 showing him kissing his mother on the lips. Similarly, Ne-Yo has faced backlash after an old video of his ex-girlfriend comparing him to Diddy surfaced on social media.
