Justin Bieber has raised health concerns among fans after being seen in public for the first time since becoming a father. The pop star stepped out on Monday, shortly after news broke that his former mentor, Sean “Diddy” Combs, faced serious legal issues, including sex trafficking charges.
Accompanied by his wife, Hailey Bieber, Justin attended church in Los Angeles on Wednesday, marking his first public appearance since welcoming their son, Jack.
The couple arrived with Pastor Carl Lentz and others, but fans were alarmed by Justin’s gaunt appearance, which seemed to contrast sharply with his usual look. Social media quickly filled with expressions of concern, with comments like, “Justin doesn’t look healthy” and “He looks like he’s going through it.”
Amidst this, old videos of a young Bieber and Diddy have resurfaced, stirring discussions about their past relationship in light of Diddy’s recent arrest on September 16.
The 54-year-old rapper was taken into custody in New York City and is being held without bail on federal charges, including sex trafficking and racketeering. Diddy denies all allegations, with his lawyer asserting that he is innocent.
While Diddy remains in Brooklyn’s Metropolitan Detention Centre, sources indicate that Justin is focusing on his new role as a father. Following Jack’s birth, a close friend of the singer reported that he is in a “happy bubble,” prioritizing his family life.
Just before the scandal erupted, Justin, now 30, collaborated with Diddy on his latest album, The Love Album: Off The Grid, expressing gratitude for the opportunity on Instagram. He reflected on a past experience of pitching a song to Diddy as a teenager, recalling it as a “wild full circle moment.”
However, since the news of Diddy’s arrest, there are whispers that Justin regrets his involvement in the album. An insider mentioned that he feels disturbed by the situation and is avoiding discussions about it, having taken a step back from Diddy during the time when most of the alleged misconduct occurred.
Diddy’s legal troubles continue to unfold as he pleads not guilty, with his attorney, Marc Agnifilo, stating, “Mr. Combs is a fighter, and he will fight this to the end.”
