Bieber, formerly a close friend of Combs, has allegedly “cut himself off from the world” after the disgraced star’s arrest, insiders claim.
Fears are growing for Justin Bieber after claims he’s “cut himself off from the world” following the news of Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs’ arrest.
Bieber was just a young child when he first developed a friendship with the disgraced star.
At 14 years old, Bieber, who previously referred to Combs as a “brother”, pitched a song to the star that led to him becoming a breakout sensation.
The pair became close, and Bieber regularly spent time with Combs during his meteoric rise to stardom.
With news of Combs’ alleged crimes becoming public knowledge, Bieber has reportedly been left struggling to come to terms with the scandal.
“Bieber is so disturbed by the Diddy news and is unwilling to process it or discuss it so he has shut off,” an insider told Daily Mail.
“So many people who helped to make him who he is were very close to Diddy and it has completely thrown him. Justin hasn’t been responding on this since the home raids. He’s not going to.”
The insider added that Bieber also has massive regrets about collaborating with the disgraced star last year.
“He had a long break from Diddy when he believes most of this took place and he had distanced himself from him.
