In a viral video that resurfaced recently, Diddy seemed to have gotten “custody” of Bieber through Usher and was spending 24 hours with the singer. “He’s signed to Usher and I had legal guardianship of Usher when he did his first album,” Diddy says in the video, adding, “I don’t have legal guardianship of him [Bieber] but for the next forty-eight hours he’s with me and we’re gonna go full crazy.”
Many have pointed out the weirdness of the clip, especially as Bieber was a minor then and what they did in those 24 hours isn’t known to the public. Given the nature of Diddy’s accusations, many have started discussing the possibility of Diddy grooming Bieber.
