Justin Bieber may have been a young pop sensation for young girls across the globe but even he was not exempt from Diddy’s famous parties.
Usher was perhaps 13 or 14 when he spent a year at Puff Daddy’s New York home in an experience the latter liked to call the Puffy Flavor Camp. His mentee Justin Bieber, however, was 15 when he came across Diddy in an experience not too dissimilar to Usher’s, although much toned down in effect than what the U Got It Bad singer endured.

After Diddy’s September 2024 arrest, the music industry went into a spiral. Interviews, both old and new, are being dredged up of celebrities sharing their experiences with the Bad Boy Records CEO. Among them, Justin Bieber and Usher are two of the more major names because of their prominence and close association with the now-disgraced rapper.
Now, an old clip of Justin Bieber spending time in Diddy’s company has resurfaced on Reddit while an old bodyguard of the music mogul comes forward to clear up the allegations.
Justin Bieber Gets Caught in the Diddy Fallout
In the days since Sean “Diddy” Combs’ arrest, several names, including Tupac, Usher, and Justin Bieber have been invoked in numerous contexts. Claims of Diddy’s alleged involvement in Tupac’s murder, his scandalous White Parties, grooming Usher for a year when he was not even 15 years old, a TikTok conspiracy about him playing a part in Aaliyah and Left Eye’s death, and his volatile relationship with Cassandra Ventura have all been dragged in front of the public’s eye.

In the most recent allegations, Justin Bieber gets caught in the snare laid by online amateur sleuths to catch the rogue pieces falling in the shocking aftermath of Diddy’s shakedown. A video posted on Bieber’s YouTube channel is now making the rounds, showing the young pop sensation spending some luxury time with the music mogul. Their conversation was captured on camera where Diddy claimed:
You ever see the movie 48 Hours? Right now, he’s having 48 hours with Diddy, him and his boy, they’re having the times of their lives. (Combs tells the camera.) Where we hanging out and what we doing; we can’t really disclose. But it’s definitely a 15-year-old’s dream. I have been given custody of him. I don’t have legal guardianship of him [Bieber] but for the next 48 hours he’s with me and we’re gonna go full crazy.
However, Diddy’s old bodyguard comes forward to clear up the allegations regarding Diddy spending 48 hours with the then-15-year-old singer. In a resurfaced Reddit clip that has since gone viral, the ex-bodyguard elaborates on how the evening unfolded between the two [via Daily Express]:
I seen Bieber when he was 15. It was just one of those phone calls, basically: “I’m in town, bring Justin by. I want you to highlight him for a little while.” And [Diddy] just hollered at him. They ain’t stay together for 48 hours and all that. He was just talking s*** right there. He stayed there for about an hour, two.
Although the details may be unclear and contradictory, Justin Bieber’s association with Diddy is known throughout the music circles, so much so, that the latter’s arrest has now thrown Bieber completely off-track while spotlights pursue the young artist in a time of crisis.

Despite being a global icon and an influential pop sensation at a young age, Justin Bieber’s life has been anything but comfortable. Fame and exposure brought him more trouble than it was worth. But publications have now grabbed onto the 30-year-old singer and his alleged connections to Diddy as feature-length articles detail his involvement in the music mogul’s life.
One such article published by Forbes on October 8, 2024, indulges in allegations of Justin Bieber being involved in Diddy’s infamous Freak Off parties that caused headlines for being the epicenter of the Bad Boy Records founder’s s*xual abuse reports.
Meanwhile, a Bieber song released on TikTok that was most likely generated by AI is making the rounds for its condemning lyrics that claim: “Lost myself at a Diddy party, didn’t know that’s how it goes, I was in it for a new Ferrari, but it cost me way more than my soul.” Although the verity of the song has not yet been proven, the accusations in the lyrics are not too dissimilar to the federal charges made against Diddy.
