I think Justin is finally going to speak his truth against Diddy.
Usher had appointed P.Diddy as Justin Bieber’s legal guardian when Bieber had recently reached the age of 15. During a 48-hour period spent with Diddy, the details of their undisclosed activities remain unknown, but the outcome of those events has cast a shadow over Bieber, as he has not successfully refuted the associated allegations.
Justin Bieber recently engaged in a direct confrontation with Diddy, exposing alarming accusations related to grooming that have sparked significant controversy. Bieber used social media to disclose the unsettling incident, urging others to come forward and protect young talents. Despite his respect for Diddy, Bieber shared how the encounter during his early career at an event hosted by Diddy left him feeling uncomfortable.
Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs and 15-Year-Old Justin Bieber Discuss Going to ‘Get Some Girls’ in Resurfaced Video
Two of Combs’ properties were raided by federal agents on Monday amid sex trafficking allegations against the Bad Boy Records founder
A clip of Sean “Diddy” Combs hanging out with a 15-year-old Justin Bieber has resurfaced after two of the Bad Boy Records founder’s properties were raided on Monday amid sex trafficking allegations.
In the video, shared to Bieber’s YouTube page in 2009, the “Love Yourself” singer and Combs are in the midst of spending 48 hours together — and while the music mogul refuses to “disclose” what they’re up to, they discuss the prospect of getting “some girls.”

“You ever seen the movie 48 Hrs? Right now [Justin is] having 48 hours with Diddy, him and his boy,” says the “Last Night” rapper. “They’re having the times of their lives.”
“Where we hanging out and what we’re doing we can’t really disclose. But it’s definitely a 15-year-old’s dream,” adds Combs.
“I have been given custody of him,” he continues. “You know, he’s signed to Usher, and I had legal guardianship of Usher when he did his first album. I did Usher’s first album.”

“For the next 48 hours, he’s with me. And we’re gonna go full. Buck full crazy,” says Combs, before asking Bieber what he’s looking to do during their time together.
“Let’s just go get some girls,” says the “Baby” performer, who then receives a hug from Combs.
“Man after my heart,” replies the record executive. “That’s what I’m talking about.”

A rep for Bieber did not immediately respond to PEOPLE’s request for comment.
Earlier this week, a 2016 interview on The Howard Stern Show of Usher talking about his time living with Combs for a year at 13 years old resurfaced following the home raids.
In the clip, the “Yeah!” singer said he witnessed “very curious things taking place” at Combs’ New York City home during his time living there.
“I got a chance to see some things. I went there to see the lifestyle — and I saw it,” Usher, 45, told Stern, 70. “I don’t know if I could indulge and understand what I was even looking at. It was pretty wild.”
According to the Super Bowl LVIII halftime show headliner, famous artists like Biggie Smalls, Lil’ Kim, Craig Mack, Faith Evans and Mary J. Blige would also hang around at Combs’ house at the time.
Usher described the experience as “pretty crazy.” Asked about whether he’d ever send his children to “Puffy camp,” he declared, “Hell, no.”

Over the past several months, Combs has been accused of sexual assault and similar allegations by five people in separate lawsuits, with two including accusations of sex trafficking.
“There was a gross overuse of military-level force as search warrants were executed at Mr. Combs’ residences,” said attorney Aaron Dyer in a statement to PEOPLE. “There is no excuse for the excessive show of force and hostility exhibited by authorities or the way his children and employees were treated.”

“This unprecedented ambush — paired with an advanced, coordinated media presence — leads to a premature rush to judgment of Mr. Combs and is nothing more than a witch hunt based on meritless accusations made in civil lawsuits,” added Dyer.
The statement concluded, “There has been no finding of criminal or civil liability with any of these allegations. Mr. Combs is innocent and will continue to fight every single day to clear his name.”
