Sean Combs, aka Diddy, has been making headlines for several years for one reason: his insane escapades with young artists who are just stepping up in the music industry. Some of these artists have spoken out about their experiences at the hands of Diddy. The latest on the list is Justin Bieber.
Making his way to the limelight at the young age of 13, Justin was one of the young artists who found themselves falling victim to Diddy’s exploiting actions. In this video, we will take a look at Justin’s experience at the hands of Diddy.
So how did Diddy go after Justin Bieber? Watch on to find out.
More than 10 years ago, Justin Bieber released his first hit song, Baby. At that time, Justin was only 15 years old and appeared to be a sweet young boy with a baby face. Perhaps it is with this physical feature rather than his talent that made the Bad Boy Record founder Diddy take him under his wing.
But to make matters a little more disturbing, Diddy can be heard promising Justin some eyebrow-raising gifts in the video, like giving him a luxury car when he turns 16. “I’m saying I’m going to let you rock this every time. It’s a little dusty.” Justin seemed to be delighted with the favor and couldn’t understand what was going on, which made the situation a little more unsettling. “All right, so I’m going to be driving this next year.” Justin can be heard asking. “Yeah, when you turn sixteen. You come down there.”
To make matters worse, Diddy was 25 years older than Justin, which meant he was 40 years while Justin was 15 when this video was filmed, and they got to spend 48 hours at an undisclosed location. That seems quite weird, doesn’t it? “You know where we’re hanging out and what we’ll be doing. We can’t really disclose, but, um, it’s definitely a 15-year-old’s dream.” Justin said
But Justin was only one of the many musicians who have had similar terrible experiences with Diddy. Diddy has a long history of using the young rappers he puts under his tutelage, and unfortunately, many young rappers have been sent to him with the idea that he was a some sort of great mentor. Usher is one of these young rappers. At the age of 13, he was sent to Diddy’s place to experience what it really meant to make it big in music.
Besides Usher and Bieber, Nick Cannon was also another victim of Diddy’s unconventional acts. According to Jamie Foxx, Nick Cannon also had some sort of relationship with Diddy. Nick used to sleep on his couch when he was 13 years old, just like Usher.
All these past incidents had a negative impact on Justin to the extent that he finds it hard to have a normal, loving relationship. He revealed that he started doing drugs, which almost ruined his life. “I started doing pretty heavy stuff at 19 and abused all of my relationships. I became resentful, disrespectful to women, and angry. I became distant from everyone who loved me, and I was hiding behind the shell of a person that I became. I felt like I could never turn it around. It’s taken me years to bounce back from all these terrible decisions, fix broken relationships, and change relationship habits,” he said.
This mental breakdown experienced by Justin Bieber is another disadvantage that comes with being a progeny of someone like Diddy. Although Diddy isn’t Justin’s direct mentor, his student Usher is, and there’s a possibility that some of Diddy’s behavior has rubbed off on him.
The truth is that the music industry is a cruel world that is not suitable for kids to grow up in. On top of that, being left at the mercy of the supposed mentors, who are monsters like Diddy, is the worst fate that these young artists could have experienced. Diddy’s habits and escapades aren’t anything new. He is always up to something weird. He throws wild parties and even allows kids and teenagers to drink. His parties can be seen as a safe haven for gay guys, where these powerful men from the industry can satisfy all of their wildest desires.
Now, imagine. If Diddy could make someone like 50 Cent uneasy; how do you think young artists like Justin Bieber and Usher would feel? Theirs would have been so terrible, as they would have to endure everything since they know Diddy holds the key for them to climb the ladder of greatness in the industry.
Meanwhile, this kind of situation has been anything but new in the music industry. The industry is filled with crazy people lurking around for aspiring artists. But people are good at turning a blind eye to it, which is why it won’t end anytime soon. So what do you have to say about Justin Bieber’s experience at Diddy’s hand?
