On September 29-30, several media outlets (1;2;3;4), Facebook pages (1;2;3;4;5) and accounts (1;2;3) circulated a quote attributed to Canadian singer Justin Bieber, in which he allegedly speaks about being sold by his family and his relationship with rapper P. Diddy: “My family s0ld me to the industry when I was 14 years old and when everyone wanted to complaîn, they never listened cuz all they cared about was the money. When I was with Diddy, I saw and did things which no kid should ever do nor see.”

The quote, attributed to Justin Bieber, is fabricated. Open sources do not provide any evidence that the Canadian singer made such a statement. Additionally, Bieber has not commented on any ongoing events related to rapper P. Diddy.

The viral quote attributed to Bieber is fabricated. In reality, no such statement exists in open sources—none of the media (1;2;3), covering P. Diddy’s recent news have reported it. Bieber has not issued any statements on his official Instagram, Facebook or X accounts. The singer is most active on Instagram, but his last post dates back to September 3, 2024, and has no connection to current events.

The fabricated quote has been circulating since September 28, amplified by users on the social network X (1;2) without citing a source.

It is worth noting that Justin Bieber has not commented on the arrest of American rapper P. Diddy. On September 22, People reported, based on their sources, that Bieber is aware of P. Diddy’s arrest and the charges against him. However, this is not a matter he wishes to focus on, as his attention is currently on his wife and their newborn child, whose birth was announced to the public last month.

Additionally, open sources do not contain any statement in which Bieber accuses his family of “selling him to the industry.”

Rapper P. Diddy, also known as Sean Combs, was arrested in New York on September 17. He is accused of kidnapping women, drugging them, and forcing them into sexual activity (sometimes under the threat of firearms and violence). In September, police searched his home, where he had hosted various parties. Items reportedly used during the so-called “Freak Outs” were seized from the scene, including drugs and over 1,000 bottles of baby oil. The rapper denies all charges. In the past, several women have accused Sean Combs of sexual assault.

Alongside P. Diddy’s arrest, a video posted by Bieber on YouTube in 2009 resurfaced on social media. In the video titled “Justin Bieber’s 48 Hours with Diddy,” the rapper states that the then-15-year-old Bieber was spending time with him and “they couldn’t reveal” what they were doing, but what they were doing was “definitely a 15-year-old’s dream.” The reappearance of this video sparked significant reactions on social media, with users linking it to the White Parties hosted at P. Diddy’s house. In the following days, an AI-generated song allegedly connected to P. Diddy’s parties also spread, falsely claiming to feature Bieber.
