Did Usher delete old tweets about Sean 'Diddy' Combs amidst sex trafficking arrest? Singer reacts
Usher has come under the scanner after netizens noticed that his tweets were deleted following the recent arrest of Sean 'Diddy' Combs.
The incident, which unfolded shortly after Diddy's arrest on charges of sex trafficking and racketeering, sparked speculation about the possible reason behind this drastic step. Many went on to presume that the singer was 'erasing' his old tweets that may have seen him revealing details of Diddy's alleged 'Freak Off' parties.
In the wake of the ongoing speculations, the R&B singer addressed the temporary wiping of his account, claiming it was a hack. He tweeted: “Account got hacked and damn y’all ran with it! See you tonight at Intuit Dome.”
Despite his explanation, many users in the comments remained sceptical, citing the coincidental timing. One user wrote, "What?? Lol, timing is JUST a coincidence huh?" while another added, "Ain’t nobody believing this." A third questioned, "Someone hacked you and deleted old tweets? That’s a new one."
Diddy was arrested in New York on Monday, September 16, in connection with multiple allegations of sexual misconduct filed against him over the past year. He has since been denied bail and is reportedly on suicide watch as he awaits trial.
It’s worth noting that Usher has not been directly implicated in any of the charges against Diddy. However, his past comments about his experiences at the rapper's home have resurfaced. In a 2004 'Rolling Stone' interview, Usher revealed he was introduced to a “totally different set of things” during his time at Diddy’s parties. "There was always girls around... you’d open a door and see somebody doing it, or several people in a room having an orgy," he said.
In a later interview with Howard Stern in 2016, Usher described his experiences as "pretty wild" and assured that he wouldn’t send his own child to stay with Diddy.
Meanwhile, Diddy’s legal representative, Marc Agnifilo, has asserted the music mogul’s innocence and vowed to fight for his release on bail.
