People are thinking that Hailey Bieber is responding to the haters after videos of Justin Bieber and Diddy resurfaced. The Bad Boy Records mogul was arrested on September 8, 2024, and people are finding connections between celebrities and Diddy in whatever capacity they can. Arguably, the celebrity who has gotten most of the spotlight is Justin.
Hailey Bieber posted a photo of her husband flipping off the paparazzi in 2017 on her Instagram story on October 7, 2024. She captioned the photo with the word “mood.” It’s not certain whether she was addressing the public speculation about the ties around her husband and Diddy, but the timing did raise some eyebrows for some people.

Sean “Diddy” Combs was arrested in New York on September 16, 2024, and charged with sex trafficking and transportation to engage in prostitution. He pleaded not guilty to all charges and was refused bail. Since his arrest, details of his indictment was released to the public including what went on during his freak-off sessions where it was described as “elaborate and produced sex performances that Combs arranged, directed, masturbated during, and often electronically recorded.”
Diddy was a long-standing influence on Justin Bieber during his early career. The “Baby” singer posted a “creepy” video when he was 15 years old and spent 48 hours with the rapper who “refused” to disclose what they were up to at the time. “You ever seen the movie 48 Hrs? Right now [Justin is] having 48 hours with Diddy, him and his boy,” Diddy says in the video. “They’re having the times of their lives. Where we hanging out and what we’re doing we can’t really disclose. But it’s definitely a 15-year-old’s dream,” adds Combs.
Justin hung out with Diddy on multiple occasions and was recently featured on his album LOVE. However, sources told Daily Mail that Justin regrets his collaboration with Diddy and refuses to talk about the arrest. “Bieber is so disturbed by the Diddy news and is unwilling to process it or discuss it so he has shut off,” the source said. 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 to this since the home raids. He’s not going to.”
As for what’s going on in the Bieber camp, the two are relishing in parenthood as Hailey gave birth to their son Jack Blues in August. An insider told People that despite Diddy’s arrest, the couple has “been in a happy bubble since baby Jack was born.” They added, “He just wants to focus on being a great dad and husband.”
