Recently, Justin Bieber and Usher have been in the spotlight. Especially because of their alleged connection to the controversial case involving Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs, who’s facing over 100 abuse allegations. But what do these two music stars have to do with the producer?
Justin Bieber, Canada’s biggest pop star, and R&B icon Usher have had a strong friendship for over 15 years. When Bieber was just 15 and starting to make a name for himself, Usher stepped in to help by collaborating on ‘First Dance,’ a track from Bieber’s debut album My World.
After that, they worked on more projects together, like the remix of ‘Somebody to Love’ and the holiday favorite ‘The Christmas Song.’ Usher played a huge role in jump-starting Bieber’s career. While their relationship has always been seen as professional, in 2016, the ‘Yeah’ singer revealed that he felt like a mentor, and Justin was more like family to him.
Recently, there were rumors that Usher had invited Justin to join him for the 2024 Super Bowl halftime show. However, the ‘Baby’ singer decided not to take the stage.
While this might seem a bit surprising, there’s no drama involved. Usher explained that it was Justin’s choice because he wanted to go in a different direction at the time. But no worries—they’re already planning another collaboration for the future.
Usher has acknowledged that excess was part of the scene, and while he never confirmed being a victim of Diddy’s actions, their relationship has always been part of the conversation.
As for Justin Bieber, his connection with ‘Diddy’ dates back to 2009 when they released a YouTube video titled 48 Hours with Diddy. At the time, it didn’t raise much concern, but with the recent investigations, there’s growing speculation about their relationship. However, Bieber has not made any public comments on the matter.
With all that’s going on with P. Diddy lately, this video says it all.
