“Prince of Pop” Justin Bieber’s memories of “sexual predator” Diddy are perhaps most clearly recreated through the journey they both took together.

On September 16, 2024, Sean “Diddy” Combs was arrested on charges of sex trafficking, extortion, and solicitation of prostitution. 1,000 bottles of baby oil and lubricant were found in his thousand-square-foot mansion in Holmby Hills during a raid by US police. This is believed to be evidence of his wild parties and forced victims. There is no specific information about the identities of the victims, which is why Justin Bieber ‘s story and haunting videos of the “hip-hop boss” have attracted the attention of the global public.

“Now I understand why Justin Bieber went downhill and changed so quickly after only a few years of success,” a netizen expressed the feelings of many audiences after rewatching the 3 MVs Yummy, Lonely, Where Are Ü Now. The audience realized that this was a series of cries for help from the male singer before the past obsession with the industry full of traps, sexual hell and demons in the form of investors, powerful people, and sponsors. While the whole world was talking about Diddy’s scandal, Justin Bieber remained silent. To understand the pain that haunted Justin, perhaps we have to look back at the male singer’s past journey from the glorious time to the decline revolving around this infamous name Diddy.

How did the “Prince of Pop” fall?

Justin’s full name is Justin Drew Bieber, born into a family of 4 half-brothers in Canada. The male singer has experienced many ups and downs since childhood due to the complicated relationship between his parents and financial difficulties. The mother and son had to live in a moldy, rat-infested house for low-income people. Starting from elementary school, Justin Bieber’s natural talent for music was discovered by his mother and she helped promote him on YouTube. Thanks to his cover singing videos, Justin became a phenomenon on social networks and caught the eye of producer Scooter Braun.

His debut album My World (2009) and the super hit Baby helped Justin Bieber transform from an internet phenomenon into a global teen idol with a fandom of millions. Facing a lot of controversy since his debut because of his image as a handsome guy in the hearts of girls, Justin has continued to achieve countless records, including albums with hundreds of millions of copies, a series of music videos with billions of views, 2 Grammy Awards, 26 Billboard Music Awards, 18 American Music Awards, 8 Juno Awards and 33 Guinness World Records. From here, the nickname “Prince of Pop” was born.

Before his debut, Justin Bieber met Usher – an R&B singer who was at the peak of his career at the time. Usher heard his student’s cover and wanted to take the lead, the two eventually collaborated on Justin’s debut album. This was also the beginning of the roundabout relationship between Justin Bieber, Usher and Diddy.

It must be admitted that, thanks to the guidance of Scooter Braun and Usher, and the support of Diddy, Justin Bieber had a very favorable development in his music career. But from here, the audience began to notice an unusual change in the male singer. A few years after the success that was considered a rare phenomenon, his career also began to show signs of decline due to a series of alcohol and stimulant scandals. The handsome man who was always associated with a beautiful image changed 180 degrees into a bad boy, he was often taken to the police station in an unconscious state.

The girl who accompanied Justin Bieber from the time he was a good boy until he went downhill was Selena Gomez. No one knows what really happened, what terrible incident made the “Prince of Pop” fall so far, the public had to blame the noisy breakup of the two young stars and the predictable depravity scenario often seen in a child star. Breaking up with Selena Gomez, Justin Bieber married Hailey Baldwin. His rock-bottom appearance and shabby image, lifeless body and abnormal mental health made the audience ask countless questions. The failure of the lazy superstar, the marriage disaster of Hailey Bieber and the obsession with his ex-lover Selena Gomez, people wrote the most “bloody” scenario to blame, regardless of Justin Bieber’s many times from hidden meanings to openly calling for help.

Victims of a “herding ecosystem” that has existed for decades

Diddy’s case broke out, which was also the moment when the public began to look differently at the biggest setback that made Justin Bieber tumble into the mud. In the entertainment industry, it is difficult to distinguish between good and evil, right and wrong because all boundaries are blurred by the halo and painted images. Those who have abused countless victims may have also been victims of previous big bosses. Those who have assisted entertainment tycoons all want to survive in showbiz, want to have support and “get along” with those in power. To survive or to satisfy ambition, no one can say clearly.

But one thing is certain: in the entertainment industry, all kinds of models, tricks and even ecosystems have been created by predecessors and passed on to successors. On average, for every bad guy punished, another bad guy sits in the seat of power. Looking at the three most shocking sex crimes in the US exposed in the past 5 years, from the Jeffrey Epstein scandal in 2019, Harvey Weinstein in 2020 to Diddy in 2024, we can clearly see the common point. All three criminals are famous and wealthy figures, whose scope of manipulation covers the entire entertainment industry. The victims of these three tycoons are all minors or “low-ranking” rookies in showbiz aged 13-19. The common method is “grooming” – the act of manipulating and building relationships with the ultimate goal of sexual abuse.

Harvey Weinstein and Diddy are both tycoons who use their power to manipulate and control young talents under the guise of supporting them.

According to Suge Knight – “rap kingpin”, co-founder and former CEO of Death Row Records, Diddy is actually a product of the corrupt industry. He was also sexually abused, “taught” by his predecessors to do the same to younger juniors, and this scenario has existed for decades.

Usher debuted with the support of Diddy at the age of 13, Justin Bieber was also taught by Usher when he entered the music industry at the age of 14 and was introduced to Diddy. From Diddy, Usher to Justin, it is easy to recognize the emergence of a type of model, an ecosystem that has existed for decades in the American entertainment industry. The model of finding lucky young talents or the model of “herding” potential children, how to call it depends on the observer’s perspective, on the outside or the dark side of the story.

Is Justin Bieber a lucky guy or a victim of the fame trap?

According to Suge Knight, the artists under his label used to smoke marijuana but got into harder drugs after signing with other record labels. “Those guys introduced cocaine to my artists. Once they used cocaine, drugs or alcohol, that’s when strange things happened. I think that’s why Puffy (Sean Combs) went down that path.” The three big names at the top of America’s record labels, Clive Davis, Russell Simmons and Andre Harrell, were named by Suge Knight for using alcohol, drugs and sex to control Diddy. After having enough potential to build his own empire, Diddy applied the same method to Usher, then Justin Bieber or the questionable case of the late star Aaron Carter.

A series of similarities between Usher and Justin contribute to proving the existence of the “Diddy Ecosystem”. During the early stages of their music careers, both Usher and Justin were lured by Diddy to live together and take them to all kinds of parties. Through the radio program The Howard Stern Show in 2016, Usher exposed the depraved “White Party” associated with keywords such as “crazy” and the story of living with Diddy for a year around the 1990s. Like his teacher, Justin spent time with Diddy in his mansion when he first debuted and was seen partying with the big guy many times during his rebellious period. Usher and Justin both tried to distance themselves from Diddy, but the one with the most unusual behavior was probably the “Prince of Pop”. Sources in the world said that Usher was sexually abused by the hip-hop mogul since he was 13 years old, could it be that Justin Bieber also could not escape Diddy’s clutches?

Tears Squeezed Behind a Forced Smile Because of Sexual Abuse

Entering showbiz at the age of 14-15, Justin Bieber had difficulty escaping sexual harassment and abuse, despite being nominally protected by two legends, Usher and Diddy. Talented and possessing a dream appearance, he became a target for many people to notice and spy on. At the American Music Awards in 2012, Justin Bieber was forced to kiss and groped on the butt by host Jenny McCarthy right on the stage to receive a major award. He was touched by famous male MC James Corden and a series of female MCs who made rude comments about his body and sex. Sadly, every time Justin faced such a situation, he could only smile and endure.

The character that makes Justin react the strangest every time he comes into contact with him is Diddy. Many viewers accuse Usher of using Justin as a scapegoat to escape the manipulation of Diddy’s pimp, but in fact the male singer born in 1994 accidentally put himself in the gates of hell. It all started with a boy’s admiration for his idol. Justin has never publicly exposed Diddy, the reason probably stems from the conflict between gratitude, fear of this tycoon’s power and regret for his wrong choices in the past. Although his mouth doesn’t say anything, Justin Bieber’s body language and musical language indirectly say it all.

In 2009, Justin tweeted about his desire to collaborate with his idol, spending time with Diddy for a long time until 2023 when he finally realized his dream through The Love Album: Off the Grid . At 15, Justin’s face turned pale, awkwardly responding to Diddy’s implicit questioning about their relationship in a video together. At 27, he avoided eye contact and physical contact, then stood there, stunned, accepting Diddy’s harassment. The confession of admiration for his idol has now turned into silence and trembling eyes before the devil disguised as a superstar.

Previously, Justin Bieber’s music products and MVs were mostly related to the theme of love. But Yummy, Lonely, Where Are Ü Now marked a turning point in his career and also showed the singer’s bad psychological expression. The common theme of the 3 music videos is related to the oppression of invisible forces and the young talent’s cry for help. The Yummy MV once caused controversy because it was too cliché, but now it haunts the audience because of the symbolic language embedded inside. Many details are too similar to the activities inside the “White Party” or the infamous “Freak offs” sex show organized by Diddy for many years.

According to information from the authorities, Diddy’s crimes have been going on for a long time, since at least 2009. But according to media records, Diddy’s entertainment parties have appeared since 1990, with “bait” being A-list stars such as Jay-Z, Beyoncé, Rihanna, Jennifer Lopez, Usher, The Weeknd, Leonardo DiCaprio, Paris Hilton, Nick Carter, Kim and Khloe Kardashian sisters, Mariah Carey… To date, more than 1,000 Hollywood stars have been invited to the “White Party”, while the victims lured by Diddy to the sex and drug show called “Freak offs” are the newbies to showbiz who want to become famous quickly.

No one in the American entertainment industry is unaware of these infamous parties. The celebrity accounts of the “White Party” are disgusting to many, but the “Freak Offs” are even more horrifying. Here, Diddy filmed everything that happened to use as a threat material, and he controlled his victims through physical violence, promises of career opportunities, providing and then threatening to cut off financial support, and other coercive measures such as narcotics.

From 2015 to 2021, Justin Bieber has continuously sent out distress signals. In 2015, he released Where Are Ü Now, a music video containing a doodle containing countless “SOS” implications about Diddy’s “tiger den” and those involved. In 2020, Justin Bieber continued to send a message exposing the sexual crimes in broad daylight of rich and powerful perverts who specialize in “slaughtering” young talents through the music video Yummy . Behind the scenes, Justin Bieber cried in panic many times, only able to calm down thanks to the encouragement of the director and his wife. Having been criticized for being cliché and having been criticized for a decade, his feelings through this music video are now understood by the audience. In 2021, Justin Bieber collaborated with Benny Blanco to release the song Lonely, taking the image of himself as a child. The product contains the cry of a lonely soul and the shame of the “dark” part of life when having to exist in the entertainment industry.

Justin Bieber calls for help through 3 music products that were once considered the empty words of a spoiled star

The cure: Love yourself, love others and love those who come after you

At the age of 30, Justin Bieber has overcome all the bitterness and sweetness. Once shining at the peak of fame, once suffering because of love and wrong decisions in his career, the male singer found a peaceful place, a lifebuoy and the warm embrace of Hailey Bieber. His small family and his childhood friend were once a thorn in the public’s eyes because of past gossip. Whatever people thought about his sloppy appearance, whoever gossiped and bullied his small family, Justin Bieber always decided to ignore and not care. No matter how he explained, skeptics would still blame, believers would understand. He asked for help countless times, but few people understood.

Thinking that he was suffering enough, Justin Bieber continued to face a health crisis (severe depression, hemiplegia, Lyme disease, infectious mononucleosis…), a condition so serious that the male singer needed the sympathy of everyone, including his relatives and the audience. “While many people said that I looked like a loser, an addict, they didn’t know that I was sick.” He once thought about committing suicide because he abused all kinds of addictive substances, antipsychotic drugs to escape reality and the past, which made his mental illness worse. Justin Bieber’s condition only changed positively when he proactively faced it, and was encouraged by his partner Hailey.

Hailey Bieber is always there to support and accompany Justin Bieber whether he is at his best or at his lowest.

After more than a decade of silence, Justin Bieber has finally found the courage to spread his voice and actions. The voice here is a cry for help to comfort himself, a word of accusation to condemn the wicked. The action here is an active attitude to protect those who come after him so that they can somehow avoid the traps and hell that always await.

In a 2020 interview, Justin Bieber cried and expressed his desire to protect Billie Eilish: “Please let Billie do what she wants. And if Billie needs me, I will help her with all my heart”, “I want to protect Billie. I don’t want her to go through what I went through. I never want this to happen to anyone. If Billie needs me, I will help”.

The entertainment industry needs to eliminate those who are victims but then use tricks to lure the next generation like Diddy. It also doesn’t need those who were victims but are indifferent to the next generation like Usher. The entertainment industry needs more people like Justin Bieber, who was hurt and decided to stand up to protect the next generation like Justin Bieber.

Justin Bieber is happier when he opens his heart and finds a better purpose in life, which is to protect himself and his loved ones and friends.
