While his Instagram remains active, showing pictures from his current tour, the sudden disappearance of all posts on Twitter has sparked speculation, particularly in connection with the ongoing scandal involving Sean “Diddy” Combs.
Usher wasn’t the only one to nuke his Twitter content. Pink followed suit.

Diddy, currently facing serious allegations of sexual misconduct, is being held in a Brooklyn jail.
The music mogul’s legal troubles have drawn attention to his past relationships with younger stars, including Usher, whom he mentored and legally acted as a guardian for during the 1990s.
Usher, who was launched into stardom under Diddy’s guidance, has not commented directly on the matter, but his recent online activity has raised questions about the nature of their past relationship.
Diddy has been accused of multiple instances of sexual malfeasance, including recent sex trafficking allegations, which led to Homeland Security raids on his properties.
Usher, who lived with Diddy as a teenager, discussed [14] some of his experiences in a 2016 interview on The Howard Stern Show [15].
In the interview, which has resurfaced online, Usher described witnessing “curious things” while living with Diddy, including behavior he did not fully understand at the time.
Howard Stern is interviewing usher and they’re speaking about P. Diddy
Had a camp called flavor land, or something like that!!!Flavor camp sorry.
This interview was a long time ago!

The revelations have resurfaced amid growing public interest in Diddy’s legal troubles.
Fans have been sharing clips from the interview, in which Stern asked Usher about the rumored wild parties and orgies at Diddy’s home.
Usher responded by saying, “I got a chance to see some things … I don’t know if I could indulge and even understand what I was looking at.”
Usher’s reflections echoed comments he made in a 2004 interview with Rolling Stone, where he spoke about how Diddy exposed him to a different lifestyle, particularly when it came to sex in the music industry.
Usher described how “sex is so hot in the industry” and how he frequently encountered situations involving sexual activity at parties.
The timing of Usher’s social media purge comes as multiple sexual assault lawsuits were filed against Diddy in 2023, with four separate allegations emerging just before the deadline of the Adult Survivors Act, which temporarily lifted the statute of limitations for victims to report abuse.
Diddy has denied all charges and allegations against him.
Meanwhile, another figure connected to both Usher and Diddy, Justin Bieber, has also been drawn into the discussion.
Usher, who mentored Bieber, introduced the young star to Diddy at the start of his career. Bieber, then 15 years old, spent considerable time with Diddy, some of which was captured on video.
This clip of P Diddy (40) and Justin Bieber (15) has been going viral along with the clip of Diddy asking a 17 yr old Justin Beiber why he doesn’t wanna hang out with him anymore…
It’s super creepy seeing all these videos of Diddy coming to light, but what’s really concerning… pic.twitter.com/3yRcsW8vm2 [21]

In recent years, Bieber has faced his own struggles with mental health, canceling tours and taking breaks from music, leading to speculation about the impact of his early experiences in the industry.
Adding another layer to the situation, Scooter Braun, who managed Bieber and played a pivotal role in his rise to fame, has also stepped back from managing artists this year.
Braun, who was once closely involved in promoting both Usher and Bieber’s careers, has since shifted his focus to KPop’s Hybe company, but his connection to these artists and their interactions with Diddy continues to draw attention.
As Diddy faces mounting legal challenges, including the ongoing Homeland Security investigation, Usher’s decision to wipe his Twitter feed has left fans speculating about his next moves.
The Department of Homeland Security confirmed that law enforcement actions were carried out as part of the investigation into Diddy’s alleged involvement in sex trafficking.
In a statement provided to The Mirror, officials said: “Earlier today, Homeland Security Investigations (HSI) New York executed law enforcement actions as part of an ongoing investigation, with assistance from HSI Los Angeles, HSI Miami, and our local law enforcement partners.”
The investigation remains active, with more details expected to emerge as authorities continue their probe into Diddy’s alleged criminal activities.
Usher, who has not directly addressed the scandal, appears to be distancing himself from the controversy, at least on social media, while continuing his sold-out tour.
As the legal situation surrounding Diddy unfolds, the music industry is once again grappling with another high-profile figure facing serious accusations.
David J Harris Jr and Jaco Booyens weighed in on Diddy’s debacle. Watch:

Original article below:
Sean “Diddy” Combs’ recent arrest on serious federal charges has sent shockwaves through the entertainment world, prompting mixed [26] reactions [27] from celebrities and former associates.
The music mogul, aged 54, faces multiple charges, including racketeering conspiracy, sex trafficking by force, fraud or coercion, and transportation to engage in prostitution [28].
If convicted, Combs could be sentenced to a minimum of 15 years in prison, with a maximum sentence of life behind bars.
The case, which has gathered significant media attention, has seen responses from prominent figures such as 50 Cent, Aubrey O’Day, Kesha, and others.
However, many of Combs’ former friends and associates, including major stars like Jennifer Lopez, Ashton Kutcher, Naomi Campbell, and Jay-Z, have remained notably silent.

Experts suggest that fear of tarnishing their own brands and potential personal repercussions might be driving their silence.

Aubrey O’Day, a former member of Combs’ girl group Danity Kane, has been vocal about her experiences with the mogul over the years.
Following his arrest, O’Day posted on X (formerly Twitter), saying, “The purpose of justice is to provide an ending and allow us the space to create a new chapter. Women never get this. I feel validated. Today is a win for women all over the world, not just for me. Things are finally changing.”

50 Cent, known for his long-standing rivalry with Combs, reacted to the arrest with his usual sharp-edged humor.
The rapper posted a photo on social media with Drew Barrymore, captioning it: “Here I am keeping good company with @thedrewbarrymoreshow and I don’t have 1,000 bottles of lube at the house,” referencing the large quantity of baby oil and lubricant found during raids on Combs’ properties.

Shyne, a former rapper on Combs’ Bad Boy Records and now a politician in Belize, also spoke out about his tumultuous history with the mogul.
Shyne was involved in a 1999 nightclub shooting with Combs, which led to his conviction and imprisonment, while Combs was acquitted. During a press conference following Combs’ arrest, Shyne expressed his feelings about the case, stating, “This is someone who destroyed my life, and who I forgave. I moved on, but let’s not pretend this is someone I had a great, intimate relationship with. I take no joy in what he is going through, but no one needs to fail for me to succeed.”
Kesha, the pop singer who famously referenced Combs in her 2009 hit “Tik Tok,” recently changed the lyrics of the song in light of the accusations against him.
TiK ToK was the first single that I put into this world that had my voice AND my name credited!!!! I remember making it fun and happy because that’s how I felt and wanted others to feel. What I’m so proud of is that’s how this song STILL makes me feel, through it all, and those… pic.twitter.com/Ewz6CBMGFH [38]

She announced her decision to legally alter the lyric “Wake up in the morning feeling like P Diddy” to “feeling like f— P Diddy” in a TikTok video.

This change comes after Kesha’s own legal battles regarding abuse within the music industry, making her public stance significant.
Mary J. Blige, another music industry veteran with deep ties to Combs, shared a cryptic post on Instagram after the raids on Combs’ homes earlier this year.
The Grammy-winning artist posted, “Unfortunately, a lot of you all met me when I lacked boundaries and was a people pleaser. Let me reintroduce myself: I burn bridges as needed.” Blige’s early albums were produced by Combs, and they had maintained a professional relationship for decades.
Despite these vocal responses, a long list of high-profile celebrities with past ties to Combs has remained silent, including his ex-girlfriend Jennifer Lopez, longtime friends Ashton Kutcher and Jay-Z, as well as supermodel Naomi Campbell.
Campbell had previously hosted a lavish birthday party for Combs in 2023, but following the legal accusations brought by Combs’ ex-girlfriend Cassie Ventura, she has reportedly deleted all photos of Combs from her social media accounts.
Experts believe the silence from these celebrities is intentional. Eric Schiffer, CEO of Reputation Management Consultants, told Fox News, “Celebrities are silent because they are scared to death of their brands bleeding out with fans over ties to Diddy. Worse, they fear if they cross him, things could end in disaster.”
Similarly, Doug Eldridge, founder of Achilles PR, explained, “The severity of the charges, the detailed allegations in the indictment, and the long-standing rumors surrounding Combs leave stars with no alternative but to stay quiet, presumably to avoid any arising connections to the allegations.”
The allegations against Combs, which have led to his arrest, are wide-ranging and serious.

The federal indictment includes accusations of sex trafficking, racketeering conspiracy, and coercion.
Prosecutors have pointed to Combs’ infamous “Freak Off” parties, which allegedly involved elaborate sexual performances orchestrated by the rapper.
The indictment claims that Combs abused and coerced women, often recording these acts for his own gratification.
These charges follow a string of allegations made by Combs’ former girlfriend, Cassie Ventura, who filed a lawsuit against him in November 2023.
Ventura accused Combs of rape, trafficking, and physical abuse, recounting a harrowing relationship that lasted from 2005 to 2018. She also detailed the drug-fueled “Freak Offs” in her lawsuit.
Though Combs settled the lawsuit with Ventura within 24 hours of its filing, her claims opened the floodgates for additional legal actions and federal scrutiny.
In a separate case, Rachel Kennedy, a former topless dancer, shared her experience [44] with Combs from the early 2000s.
Kennedy described an encounter where she and her friends were invited to a “party” at Combs’ hotel, only to find that it was just him. She detailed how the night escalated into drug use and sexual activity, followed by an altercation with Combs’ bodyguard, who she claimed became violent and attempted to forcibly remove them from the room.
Kennedy’s story aligns with the broader allegations of coercion and abuse that have now come to light.
Combs’ arrest has not only sent shockwaves through the entertainment industry but has also put a spotlight on the darker side of celebrity culture, where fame and power often go unchecked.
The indictment describes Combs as someone who used his wealth and influence to manipulate and control those around him, with prosecutors claiming that he secured “absolute loyalty” through “acts of violence and threats.”
Since his arrest, Combs has been held at the Metropolitan Detention Center in Brooklyn, where he is on suicide watch [45], a standard procedure for high-profile individuals entering the federal prison system.
Despite offering $50 million for bail, a judge denied his request, leaving him behind bars as he awaits trial.
The indictment and subsequent media coverage have also led to increased scrutiny of Combs’ past relationships and business dealings.
The music mogul, who once dominated the hip-hop scene with hits like “I’ll Be Missing You” and “Bad Boy for Life,” now faces the possibility of spending the rest of his life in prison.
As the legal case against Sean “Diddy” Combs unfolds, the silence from many of his high-profile friends and associates continues to raise questions.

While some have spoken out, expressing their feelings about the mogul’s fall from grace, others remain conspicuously quiet, perhaps out of fear for their own reputations or potential connections to Combs’ alleged activities.
With more lawsuits and investigations likely on the horizon, this case will undoubtedly continue to develop in the coming months.
For now, Combs sits in a Brooklyn jail, awaiting his day in court, as the music industry and Hollywood look on in stunned silence.
