On Sunday, September 22, fans noticed that all of Usher’s X posts, replies, and media had vanished from his profile. Words quickly spread across social media, with many linking the timing of the singer’s alleged decision to Diddy’s arrest the previous Monday, September 16.
Due to his close relationship with Diddy, the “DJ Got Us Fallin’ In Love”singer has faced significant public scrutiny since allegations against the record executive surfaced last year.
The recent claimed Twitter cleanse added fuel to netizens’ suspicions. Many speculated that the artist might have taken this step to eliminate any potential evidence that could lead to law enforcement inquiry.
However, Usher addressed X on September 23:
“Account got hacked and damn y’all ran with it!”
Referencing his Past Present Future tour’s next concert in Inglewood, California, he added, “See you tonight at Intuit Dome.”X users flocked to the comments to share their reactions to the singer’s explanation.
“It’s giving Jussie Smollett”, wrote one user, seemingly alluding to the Empire star’s 2019 hate crime hoax.
“That’s a weird way to say tampering with evidence”, noted another.
“You must really think we are stupid”, mocked one user.
“u got hacked and the hackers decided to delete all your tweets instead of tweeting random stuff?”, questioned another X user.
Several users also mentioned Justin Bieber, as the Canadian singer had been signed to Usher and Scooter Braun’s music label RBMG Records and was introduced to Sean “Diddy”Combs by Usher.
With multiple sexual crime allegations against the Bad Boy Records founder, several speculated that Justin Bieber could have also been a victim of Diddy’s actions. They suggested that Usher had to be aware of the events that transpired at Diddy’s “freak off”parties and the potential exploitation Bieber may have endured.
“Dude’s going to pretend like he doesn’t know about Puffy camp?”, commented one user.
“You’re going to prison for what you and Diddy did to Justin Bieber”, wrote another.
“What?? Lol, timing is JUST a coincidence huh?”, said one user.
“Are you serious dude, this just shows that you’re guilty as sin. It’s ok because no one believes you”, commented another X user.
Usher Resided in Diddy’s Home During His Teenage Years
Diddy was apprehended by federal authorities in Manhattan on September 16, facing charges of sexual trafficking, racketeering, and facilitating prostitution. While Diddy’s legal team has denied his involvement in any of these alleged offenses, numerous figures in the Hollywood music scene have come under public scrutiny due to their association with the rapper.
Usher lived in Diddy’s residence in Scarsdale, New York, for a year in 1994 when he was a teenager. He mentioned that L.A. Reid advised him to stay with Diddy to witness the “lifestyle”firsthand. The singer previously discussed his experiences during a 2016 interview with Howard Stern, where he revealed that during his time at Puff Daddy’s house, he witnessed some “curious,””wild,”and “crazy”events but did not fully comprehend what he was observing.
Though there have been no direct accusations against Usher, he was reportedly one of those who witnessed Diddy inflict physical violence on his former partner, Cassie. The singer has not commented on anything related to the music mogul since the legal issues emerged.
