Recently, singer Billie Eilish posted a series of photos on her personal Instagram before her world tour "Hit Me Hard and Soft" starting on September 29.
Among the behind-the-scenes photos of rehearsals and tour preparations, a picture of Justin Bieber as a child suddenly appeared.
Billie Eilish's move was surprising, because Justin Bieber is the most popular name recently, related to the shocking sex scandal of music mogul Diddy (Sean Combs).
The "Prince of Pop" and Diddy have been known for their close relationship for the past 20 years. Diddy has been helping Justin since the early years of his career, when he was only 14-15 years old.
But when Diddy was arrested and faced charges of sex trafficking, forced labor, prostitution, extortion, etc., the audience dug up Justin's old videos and music videos and speculated that the Canadian star was one of the victims of Diddy's harassment and abuse.
Diddy lured young artists to participate in many wild parties. Then used secretly filmed videos to pressure and "silence" the victims so they continued to be abused. Diddy's crimes caused outrage because many of the victims were minors.
There was a time when Justin Bieber had a mental breakdown due to the pressure and the dark side behind the spotlight. Later, he spoke out strongly in wanting to protect young artists.
As Diddy's scandal unfolded, a 2020 interview Justin Bieber gave about Billie Eilish resurfaced, in which the singer tearfully expressed his desire to protect Billie Eilish from bad people.
"Let Billie do what she wants, and if Billie needs me, I'll help her as much as I can... I want to protect Billie. I don't want her to go through what I went through. I never want this to happen to anyone. If Billie needs me, I'll help her" - Justin Bieber said in tears.
At that time, fans just thought that this was Justin Bieber's affection for a talented junior like Billie Eilish. On the other hand, the female singer born in 2001 is also known as a die-hard fan of Justin since childhood.
But when the Diddy case was exposed, the public thought that Justin Bieber wanted to protect Billie Eilish because he had gone through terrible things when he first started his career.
