JUSTIN Bieber has broken his silence on explosive rumours that he was abused by Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs.
Hip-hop star Diddy, 55, whose sex trafficking trial kicked off this week, infamously hosted a teenage Justin at his home in 2009.

And since the rap mogul’s arrest last year, unfounded gossip online has linked the Canadian singer reported mental health problems with his former mentor’s alleged crimes.
Sean Combs – who is charged with sex trafficking and prostitution – strongly denies all allegations of misconduct.
Now, Justin, 31, has released a statement refuting claims he was targeted by the rapper.
A spokesperson told TMZ: “Although Justin is not among Sean Combs’ victims, there are individuals who were genuinely harmed by him.
“Shifting focus away from this reality detracts from the justice these victims rightfully deserve.”
Last year, video emerged of Diddy and Justin spending “48 hours” together.
Fans online branded the clip “disturbing” considering the 24-year age gap between the pair.
Justin also sang on Combs’ 2023 record The Love Album: Off The Grid which sources now say the pop superstar deeply regrets.
A source told the Mail Online: “He was featured on Diddy’s most recent album, and had he known any of this, there is no way he would have done it.”
This comes as Combs’s ex Cassie Ventura claims she had sex for up to four days with male escorts while living in fear that he would beat her.
The pregnant 38-year-old told a court: “You make the wrong face . . . then I was getting hit in the face.”’
Singer Cassie said she was a sexual novice when she fell in love with Diddy having been won over by his huge wealth and charm.
Within a year, she said she agreed to marathon “freak off” sex sessions with strangers to prove her love and keep him happy.
But Cassie told the court in New York how she began to experience a different side of Diddy — what she called “his abusive side”.
She added: “Very controlling over my life, the things I wanted to do . . . but there’s still love there.
“Control was everything from the way I looked, what I was working on that day, who I was speaking to.
“You make the wrong face and the next thing I knew I was getting hit in the face.”
Cassie testified despite being eight-and-a-half months pregnant with her third child with husband, Alex Fine, a personal trainer hired by Combs to work with her.
She said she was 19 when the rapper signed her on a ten-record deal to his Bad Boy Records label in 2006.
P Diddy, who denies all the charges, faces life imprisonment if convicted.
