Justin Bieber is said to be ‘completely disgusted’ after the multiple allegations that Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs is currently facing.
The rapper was arrested last month over charges of sex trafficking, racketeering, and transportation to engage in prostitution.
The 54-year-old has been accused of sexual assault and rape in claims that span decades, with more than 100 people reportedly planning to sue him.
In the wake of the allegations, it has been claimed that the 30-year-old has been warned to steer clear of the disgraced producer.
‘Justin has been advised to stay as far away as possible from anything and everything related to Diddy,’ an insider told Us Weekly, insisting that he wants ‘nothing to do’ with the music mogul, and is ‘completely disgusted’ by the scandal.
They suggested that he ‘wants to protect himself’ and was focusing his attention on life with wife Hailey Bieber, and their newborn baby, Jack.
‘Justin is in a hard place mentally right now,’ the source continued. ‘He has such a history with Diddy and the allegations against him have been hard to process.
‘His happiness being a dad has outweighed his anxiety about Diddy.’
Their professional relationship goes back to years – Bieber most recently collaborated with Combs just last year on his record, The Love: Album: Off The Grid.
It was recently reported that he was ‘thrown’ over the claims made against the Grammy-winner, and has shut himself off.
Combs has been named in multiple lawsuits in recent months, and was arrested in September – he is currently behind bars at the Metropolitan Detention Center in Brooklyn, after being denied bail.
Damian Williams, the US Attorney for the Southern District of New York, held a press conference after he was detained, and told reporters: ‘Between at least 2008 and the present, Combs abused, threatened and coerced victims to fulfill his sexual desires, protect his reputation and conceal his conduct.
‘Sean Combs led and participated in a racketeering conspiracy that used the business empire he controlled to carry out criminal activity, including sex trafficking, forced labor, kidnapping, arson, bribery and the obstruction of justice.
‘As alleged, Combs used force, threats of force and coercion to cause victims to engage in extended sexual performances with male commercial sex workers, some of whom he transported or caused to be transported over state lines.’
Combs’ attorney later told TMZ they were ‘disappointed’ by the arrest of an ‘innocent man.’
He added: ‘We are disappointed with the decision to pursue what we believe is an unjust prosecution of Mr Combs by the US Attorney’s Office.’
