Amid the arrest of rap mogul Diddy on sexual charges, theories about the hidden meanings in Justin Bieber’s songs have exploded on social media.
The story of Sean “Diddy” Combs being accused of sex trafficking, extortion, and running a prostitution ring is shaking public opinion globally, CNN reported.
It is worth noting that a series of famous stars such as Jennifer Lopez, Justin Bieber, Leonardo DiCaprio… have been named in this case because they had close relationships or were exposed at parties with the rap mogul.
According to NBC News, while Diddy was in prison, netizens were spreading images and interview content that were hypothesized to be evidence that Justin Bieber was sending an “S.O.S” signal because Diddy was seducing and exploiting him in his exchanges with the upper class.
Justin Bieber’s theory exploded on social media
On September 25, many X accounts dug up a behind-the-scenes clip of the production of the MV Yummy in 2020. Although the song aims for a cheerful, energetic spirit, in the video, the male singer appeared tired, his face down on the floor for quite a while. It was only thanks to the reassurance of his wife and crew that he was able to continue filming.
This MV has controversial details, most notably the scene of Bieber walking over children playing musical instruments and the image of a cherry distorted and disappearing when strange dishes were served, leading to many speculations about its meaning.
Where Are U Now, a product released by the Canadian star in 2015, was also scrutinized for suspicious moments.
According to many viewers’ guesses, the seemingly harmless, scribbled drawing in the MV when enlarged carries the message that Bieber wants to send. The image of Bieber appearing with the words “Help me pls” is an example.
In 2021, Bieber collaborated with Benny Blanco (Selena Gomez’s boyfriend) to release the song Lonely. The MV is about a lonely young man, filled with sadness and torment, even though he is at the peak of fame.
That image reminds people of Bieber in real life. Success came early, but along with that, the male singer faced a lot of criticism about his behavior. However, few people know what he is suffering behind the halo.
And Monster is also the song being mentioned in terms of containing hidden meanings about pain that Bieber may have inserted.
According to NBC News, in addition to the above songs, TikTok users are spreading a song imitating Bieber’s voice that mentions Diddy. The lyrics include: “Lost myself at Diddy’s party / Didn’t know it was going to be this way / I went in for a new Ferrari / But it cost me more than my soul.”
“Was it worth all the money and fame? / All the girls never walk the same / Signed the papers so he never had to say sorry / Lost myself at Diddy’s party,” the lyrics continue.
This AI-generated song has been used in more than 4,500 videos, attracting more than 7 million views, CBS News reported.
Google Trends data shows that searches for the keywords “Bieber” and “Diddy” increased dramatically from late March to early April – the time Diddy’s mansions in Los Angeles and Miami were raided by the US Department of Homeland Security. Searches for the two artists peaked again when the song went viral in early September.
The relationship between Justin Bieber and Diddy
According to the Standard, Justin Bieber signed to Usher’s record label when he was just 15 years old and was quickly mentored by Diddy – who helped Usher advance his career. The two made many videos together, which were posted on their respective channels.
The 2-minute clip, posted in 2009, shows Bieber in a good mood after receiving a Lamborghini sports car as a gift. Bieber said he had finished a song and wanted to show Diddy the demo first.
Diddy continued, revealing that the two would “have a wild 48 hours together”, but did not specify where they went or what they did. “It was definitely a 15-year-old’s dream,” Diddy said.
On another occasion, Bieber’s demeanor was said to have changed suspiciously when talking to Diddy. When Diddy asked, “You sold out your concert tickets and now you’re acting differently? You don’t call me or hang out with me like before.” At this point, Bieber moved away and said quietly, “You haven’t contacted me through me. You know, you never had my phone number. If you want, I’ll give you my phone number.”
Several other uncomfortable moments from Bieber are going viral on social media platforms. Many accounts reposted the videos and claimed that Bieber’s unusual mental state is a sign that the singer is afraid and wary of Diddy. One person wrote: “Diddy definitely caused Justin a crisis in the past. That’s why he’s always so miserable and always says that Hailey is the only one who supports him the most.”
In addition, according to the NewYork Post, a video interview from Bieber’s 2020 was also “dug up”. In it, the singer cried and said he wanted to protect Billie Eilish from the music industry. “I don’t want her to go through anything I went through. I don’t want that to happen to anyone,” Justin Bieber said.
Amid Diddy’s accusations, a People source revealed that Bieber knew people were gossiping but he didn’t care. The singer just wanted to focus on his music career, as well as taking care of his first child with his wife.
“Justin has been living in a happy moment since baby Jack Blues Bieber was born. “He’s just interested in being a great husband and father,” the source added.
There has been no confirmation from Bieber himself and all the speculation on social media is just speculation. So for those who are neutral, they say that things are not really clear yet so don’t jump to any conclusions about the story between Bieber and the rap mogul.
