And so I just feel a responsibility to be able to to talk to them and since I can’t respond to every one of them, I thought doing a teen version of this book would be a good way. Yeah, first time I smoke weed I was I don’t suggest this but I was 13. Yeah, 13, 12 or 13. Justin Bieber’s mom Patty is reportedly facing the reality that her son might have been influenced by Usher and Diddy when he was younger. People are saying Patty is getting ready to share everything about Justin’s early days in the industry.
Now you might have (00:33) heard the rumors about Diddy doing something to Justin because those have been around for a while. Recently, Jaguar Wright pointed fingers at Usher for introducing Justin to Diddy. But here’s the twist: Jaguar says it’s not just Usher’s fault. She sees herself as a victim too.
This hints at a troubling pattern of mistreatment in the entertainment world. Jaguar says she’s not mad at Usher because, according to her, he’s also a victim himself. But she points out a problem when someone decides to join in instead of standing (01:03) up. Now the big question is: How much does Justin’s mom know about what Diddy and Usher might have done to influence Justin when he was younger? And could this be the reason Justin faced a tough time and took a break from his music career? Let’s dive into it right now.
He’s having 48 hours with Diddy, him and his boy um, they’re having the times of their lives like like like you know where we hanging out and what we doing. It’s been a month since Cassie filed a law against Diddy claiming disturbing things like (01:33) forced encounters and mistreatment. Even though Diddy settled with Cassie quickly, the lawsuit opened a can of worms.
Social media has been buzzing with more allegations about Diddy, including his problematic connections with young talents like Usher and Justin Bieber. Multiple sources suggest that Diddy might have exposed Usher and Justin to similar situations he forced Cassie into. Justin’s mom Patty reportedly believes this could be the cause of Justin’s ongoing struggles with trauma and mental health. We all remember when Justin (02:04) Bieber was the biggest teen star ruling the music scene.
However, something changed along the way, and Justin seems to have lost his passion for making music. In February, he sold his entire music catalog for a whopping $200 million. And the next month, he abruptly canceled his World Tour. What’s even more puzzling is Justin’s apparent lack of interest in creating solo music. Despite this, in September, he made a surprise appearance on Diddy’s song from his latest album. Fans were left wondering why Justin, who seems uninterested in touring (02:37) and recording his own music, agreed to be on Diddy’s album.
Recent reports suggest that Justin may have had a long-standing trauma bond with Diddy that goes back several years. In September, when Diddy announced Justin’s appearance on his album, he shared a clip of Justin in his studio praising him as one of the biggest superstars and a dear friend. Interestingly, Diddy mentioned meeting Justin when he was playing the guitar on the street.
This statement raised eyebrows because it’s widely known that Usher introduced Justin to Diddy. To give (03:07) you some background, when Justin was about 12, his mom Patty started posting his singing videos on YouTube. One of these videos caught the attention of Justin’s future manager Scooter Braun. Scooter was so convinced of Justin’s potential that he tracked him down to the theater where he was performing at school.
He eventually contacted Patty asking to take Justin to Atlanta. Patty, initially hesitant due to religious differences, consulted her church elders who convinced her to let Justin go with Scooter. At just 13, Justin went to (03:37) Atlanta, recorded demo tapes with Scooter, and a week later, Usher took him under his wing. So, Diddy’s claim of meeting Justin playing guitar on the street contradicts the well-known story of Usher introducing Justin to the music scene. Justin’s mom Patty recalled the time when Usher appointed his assistant Ryan Good as Justin’s road manager and swagger coach. She mentioned that Justin changed a lot after that. It’s important to note that Patty was a teen mom who raised Justin alone after his (04:05) dad Jeremy left.
Patty faced her own struggles, even contemplating suicide at 17. Patty likely believed that letting Scooter and Usher guide Justin would provide him with better opportunities. However, once Scooter and Usher took control, Patty felt she lost influence over Justin. In a 2009 interview with The New York Times, she expressed the natural challenges of a 15-year-old wanting independence from his mother, yet she questioned why a 40-year-old man would spend 48 hours with a 15-year-old who wasn’t family. This concern arose when (04:38) Justin spent two days with Diddy in 2009. In an infamous video, Diddy hinted at undisclosed activities claiming that it would be a 15-year-old’s dream. While Justin might have been starstruck, questions arose about Diddy’s motives for spending so much time with a minor.
Check this out yo um, Justin he’s in, you ever seen the movie 48 hours? Right now he’s having 48 hours with Diddy, him and his boy um, they’re having the times of their lives like like like you know where we hanging out and what we doing (05:08) but um it’s definitely a 15-year-old’s dream um, you know I I have been given custody of him, you know he signed to Usher, I’m signed to Usher. I I had legal guardianship of Usher. Did he mention having legal guardianship of Usher in the past? Recalling Usher’s early career at 13 or 14, it’s also important to note that Usher himself confirmed being sent to Puffy’s flavor camp at a young age.
I moved to New York City and I lived with Sean Puffy Combs for a year. That’s the crazy thing. Now that was LaReid’s idea (05:43) right, we’re sending you over to something called Puffy flavor camp. There you go to learn flavor camp. That’s what it was called and you’re going to go to Puff Daddy. He’s going in the ’90s. Do you understand what that’s like? There’s a viral video of Diddy telling Kevin Hart that he and Usher used to wake up together and wrestle when Usher was just 10 years old.
Given Diddy’s 10-year age gap with Usher, the idea of a 19-year-old man waking up with a 10-year-old boy who isn’t related is undeniably strange. My (06:12) brother right here from day one we used to wake up and I mean damn pause but like just out. I mean I mean back in the days when he was like 10 and I was a little bit older, his older brother we used to fight over the over the Frosted Flakes.
While Usher has distanced himself from Diddy over the years, Diddy seems to have a habit of making Usher uncomfortable on camera. In a recently resurfaced clip, Diddy puts Usher on the spot asking why they don’t hang out anymore. The discomfort isn’t exclusive to Usher. Diddy displayed similar (06:41) behavior with Justin Bieber about a year after their 48-hour hangout.
Diddy confronted Justin about acting differently and not calling or hanging out as they used to. What’s up man? You good? I’m good, how are you young brother? Everything’s good, selling out arenas and everything, starting to act different huh? You you ain’t been calling me and hanging out the way we used to hang out.
Rumors also circulate that Diddy might have introduced Justin to drugs at his parties. Allegedly, this is why Justin wanted to protect other young artists (07:09) from going down a similar path. In a heartfelt 2020 interview with Zane Lowe, Justin Bieber opened up, shedding tears as he reflected on the challenges of navigating the entertainment industry as a child star.
Justin expressed the difficulty of being young, unsure of where to turn and feeling the sting of people professing love only to turn their backs swiftly. He shared his commitment to being there for fellow artist Billie Eilish, emphasizing the need to protect her from the harsh realities he faced. Justin’s emotional vulnerability (07:40) hinted at the profound impact his early experiences had on him.
As the disturbing allegations against Diddy surfaced in the wake of Cassie’s lawsuit, reports circulated that Justin’s mom Patty is grappling with concerns about Diddy’s relationship with her son. Sources close to Patty suggest that approaching this subject with Justin poses a challenge as she reportedly feels a sense of guilt for allowing him to go under the wings of Usher and Diddy. Fans on the other hand, exhibit a mix of sentiments.
While (08:09) some sympathize, attributing Patty’s decisions to a lack of awareness, others point fingers at her and Usher’s mom for seemingly selling their sons to the industry. A lot of fans question the decision of Usher’s mom to send her 14 or 15-year-old son to New York to live with Diddy, drawing parallels to Justin Bieber’s mom making a similar choice decades later.
Other fans also raised concerns about trauma stemming from these decisions. Another individual expressed skepticism, suggesting that Justin’s mom profited while he endured (08:41) exploitation at the hands of Diddy and others at parties. One person said, “That’s so wrong on every single level. It’s the mom’s fault for allowing her underage son to hang with way older people with bad intentions. She knew exactly what was going on. My opinion only. She sold him out. So so devastating.” Another one said, “Everybody knows how kids are exploited and mistreated in the entertainment industry.
These parents would rather trade their kids’ innocence for money and pretend they had no idea than actually (09:11) just protect and guide their child. It’s sick.” And another person said, “If a grown adult man said, ‘I’m going to take your 15-year-old son for 48 hours,’ the answer is always hell no. The fact no one questioned why a 40-year-old man wants to hang out for 48 hours with a 15-year-old is beyond me. Every normal mother, adult woman or man with any sense would know this is wrong and dark stuff is the intention.” Many voices in the conversation suggest that Diddy may have repeated similar actions with Justin as he did with Usher.
This raises (09:43) a crucial question: Was Justin’s mom aware of the alleged mistreatment that Diddy subjected Justin to? The discourse among fans is quite diverse, with opinions ranging on the extent of responsibility assigned to those involved in Justin’s career. Some point fingers at Diddy, questioning his actions, while others wonder if Justin’s mom had any knowledge of what transpired. The multifaceted nature of these discussions reflects the complexity of the situation.
