In 2014, Justin Bieber’s behavior as a party boy and teen led to him being called a “rebel” and “off the rails.” Fans abandoned him, and critics ripped him to pieces, but as accusations surface and charges are brought against Sean “P Diddy” Combs, his relationship with the rapper is being viewed in a different way, which has fans worried.

Furthermore, we question whether we were all too eager to pass judgment when we consider how Justin, a youngster caught up and possibly lost in a world of fame, was so swiftly and harshly labeled.

The ‘Baby’ singer’s rise to fame was astronomical. Discovered in 2008 by Scooter Braun at just 14 years old, he was taken under the wing of Usher to sign a deal with RBMG Records.

Recently resurfaced videos of Justin and P Diddy, as well as fans drawing parallels to his songs, have specifically called into question Justin’s welfare during that time.

“Hollywood did you so wrong. Keep ya head up high. This darkness is coming to light,” one used wrote on X, formerly Twitter.

P Diddy & Justin Bieber: The ‘48 Hour’ Video

An old clip of P Diddy and Justin Bieber has resurfaced online in the wake of allegations, whereby the two discuss spending a “crazy” 48 hours together.

To the camera, Diddy says: “He’s having 48 hours with Diddy, where we hanging out and what we’re doing we can’t really disclose. But it’s definitely a 15-year-old’s dream. I have been given custody of him. “He’s signed to Usher when he did his first album. I don’t really have legal guardianship of him, but for the next 48 hours he’s with me. And we’re gonna go buck fool crazy,” he continues.

The clip was originally posted by Justin to his Youtube channel and remains there to this day.

Other resurfaced clips show Diddy handing Justin a bottle on his birthday, which he kneels down to drink from as a woman exclaims: “Happy Birthday Justin!”
