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 practicing and preparing for the tour, a photo 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 are known for their close relationship over 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, blackmail, etc., the audience dug up a series of old videos and MVs of Justin and speculated that the Canadian star was one of the victims of harassment and abuse by Diddy.
Diddy lured young artists to attend many wild parties. Then used secretly filmed videos to pressure and "close the mouth" the victim and they continued to be abused. Diddy's crimes caused outrage when many of the victims were minors.
There was a time when Justin Bieber was mentally devastated by the pressure and darkness behind the spotlight. Later, he spoke strongly in wanting to protect young artists.
As Diddy's scandal flared up, a 2020 interview by Justin Bieber mentioning Billie Eilish spread again. In it, the male singer shed tears and confessed that he wanted to protect Billie Eilish from bad people.
"Let's let Billie do what she wants, and if Billie needs it, I will help her the best I can... I want to protect Billie. I didn't want her to go through what I went through. I never want this to happen to anyone. If Billie needs me, I will 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 to be a big fan of Justin since she was a child.
But when the Diddy incident 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.
