Diddy & Justin Bieber Throwback Pictures Resurface Amid Mogul’s Allegations

by

Given the federal case and various allegations against Diddy, many online are looking back throughout history to make note of his movement. They also seek out more celebrity connections in speculative fashion, as anyone talking about the Bad Boy mogul or interacting with him faces a very different context these days. This is the case for his bond with Justin Bieber, as TMZ recently obtained some throwback pictures of the two which have some fans raising their eyebrows. These old photos come from the Haiti Benefit Concert in Miami back in 2010 and a 2016 Grammys afterparty in Los Angeles. Check them out by clicking the “Via” link down below

While the two appear quite close, with Sean Combs’ arm around the pop star in both instances, the connotations spreading online are all the product of allegations and speculation, so the snapshots don’t reflect any proof. Many theories emerged in recent months as to Diddy’s alleged relationship with Justin Bieber, which some out there believed turned inappropriate. However, the Canadian singer is not a part of any current lawsuit or charge against Combs, whether as a passing mention or a key figure.

With this in mind, take the pictures and what some fans are interpreting them as online with a huge grain of salt, as they only reflect allegations, not evidence. For those unaware of Diddy and Justin Bieber’s history, the latter was a second-generation protégé of the former for a bit, with Usher being their common link. They even collaborated sometimes, like on “Moments” off of The Love Album: Off The Grid. With this new wave of allegations and federal criminal charges, many online users scrutinized and called into question their relationship.

Meanwhile, Diddy’s ex bodyguard Gene Deal recently alleged that he sent Usher to the hospital, although none of Deal’s claims have been proved true at press time by a court of law. As such, there are a lot of other stories like this that are still just allegations. We’ll see what other celebrity connections fans draw and how else they react to and assess the whole situation. The past can illuminate some things, but it can also obfuscate them.

Jaden Smith & Justin Bieber’s Hug At Coachella Sparks Intimacy Debate

by

This year’s Weekend One of Coachella was a pretty interesting one: a great Tyler, The Creator performance, some notable celebrity cameos, and another excuse for casual homophobia to run rampant online. Moreover, this last phenomenon is due to a clip of Justin Bieber and Jaden Smith embracing at the festival. In the video below, you can see the former hug the latter from behind and sway around dancing, and then the Canadian superstar lands a kiss on his friend’s cheek. Of course, this led to a lot of pause-core reactions from users in the comments section below, many of which simply made fun of an innocuous public display of affection.

For example, here are some standouts: “That white n***a in front them looking like he can’t believe his own 2 eyes,” “i don’t care what anybody says i don’t just kiss my boys on the cheek every time i leave,” and “Why everyone moving gay now? Is it the new trend???” Sure, it’s a pretty suggestive and odd interaction, but more so because of the public TMI nature of it, not the act itself. However, others commenting on Jaden Smith’s hug drew a connection to Justin Bieber’s ties to Diddy amid his sex trafficking scandal, which has also elicited a lot of sexuality discussions. “Look what diddy done did to him lmfaooo,” one user wrote.

Jaden Smith & Justin Bieber’s Viral Coachella Hug: See Comments For Reactions

For those unaware, Jaden Smith and Justin Bieber have a pretty public and tight relationship as friends, going on tour together and performing multiple times across their careers. They’ve never really done much beforehand to elicit this type of reactions from social media users, though. Regardless of the nature of their intimacy or how they view it, it’s also just impossible to make a judgement call on this without knowing these people. Don’t we all know of some weird physical bond between two of our friends that’s hard to explain to others? Maybe we’re just digging the grave further at this point…

Regardless, raising these eyebrows in a way that mostly puts homosexuality down is not the way to speak on what’s simply somewhat cringe-inducing PDA between two pals. Also, they’re both very much taken right now, so maybe that’s what should be at the forefront of reactors’ minds. But what do you think about this whole gossip train? Let us know in the comments and keep checking in with HNHH for more news and updates on Jaden Smith and Justin Bieber.

Kodak Black, Justin Bieber & More Sued For 2022 Super Bowl Party Shooting

by

Kodak Black and Justin Bieber are being sued following a shooting at Justin’s L.A. afterparty during Super Bowl weekend last year. Moreover, two men who claimed to have been struck by bullets during the altercation are suing the artists and a few other entities. For example, the venue, the Hwood Group and Revolve Group, the City of L.A., the City of West Hollywood, and L.A. County are also being sued for damages. Furthermore, the alleged victims’ representative is Gloria Allred, and Kodak’s legal team dismissed the suit’s validity.

“I have seen a lot of bad complaints in my day,” Yak’s attorney Bradford Cohen told TMZ. “This is the most poorly drafted complaint I have seen in 26 years. I expect Kodak to be dismissed from this suit fairly quickly. There is zero specificity in the complaint and Ms. Allred groups the defendants all together instead of making specific allegations against each. It’s law school 101. I am embarrassed for Ms. Allred that she actually signed her name to that complaint.”

The Shooting

Moreover, according to the lawsuit, Mark Schaefer and Adam Rahman suffered severe injuries from the 2022 shooting. Said incident occurred at The Nice Guy in Los Angeles, which is why the suit named all those entities. In fact, Kodak himself also suffered bullet wounds that night, though fortunately he recovered. According to the Florida rapper’s crew, he helped a friend fight off an unknown assailant as they left the venue. Later, the rapper threw himself into the fight, shots broke out shortly after, and people dispersed. However, in the legal documents, the alleged victims claimed that the “Super Gremlin” star actually instigated the incident. They believe he tried to harm others and blame him for causing the shooting.

Meanwhile, Schaefer and Rahman also stated that security at the venue was lax. For that reason, they likely attribute some of the blame to the Canadian singer, as it was his afterparty. Still, they complained of inept security guards and a lack of accountability when it came to promoters and the venue. Even though this suit might be dismissed, it might just spark a wider conversation on these topics. Regardless, come back to HNHH for more updates on this story and whatever happens this Super Bowl weekend.
