Justin Bieber fans claim to know real meaning of chilling lyrics as his relationship with Diddy comes into question

Justin Bieber's fans are claiming that lyrics from his 2021 song Lonely may be hints at what allegedly happened between him and Diddy when he was a minor.

In the song Lonely, which is from his 2021 album Justice, Justin sings 'And everybody saw me sick/And it felt like no one gave a s**t/ They criticized the things I did as an idiot kid.'

Adding: What if you had it all/ And it felt like nobody to call? Maybe then you'd know me/'Cause I've had everything/ But no one's listening/ And that's just lonely. I'm so lonely. Lonely.'

Days after Diddy, 54, was arrested in New York amid a sex trafficking probe, fans began questioning the troubled rapper's relationship with Justin, now 30, when he was a minor, branding resurfaced footage of them together as 'creepy.' 

'No one protected him. Not even his family. I absolutely adore this song,' one fan wrote, 'but the words have always stood out to me. I hope he can heal with time.'

DailyMail.com has reached out to his reps for comment. 

Diddy is 24 years older than Justin and videos of Justin - then aged 15 - have resurfaced online of Diddy documenting his '48 hours' staying with the singer.

In the resurfaced clip, Diddy stands next to teen Justin and tells the camera: 'He's having 48 hours with Diddy, where we hanging out and what we're doing we can't really disclose.'

Diddy continued: 'But it's definitely a 15-year-old's dream. I have been given custody of him. He's signed to Usher and I had legal guardianship of him [Bieber] but for the next 48 hours he's with me and we're gonna go full crazy.'

In the clip, Justin can be seen smiling and looking up at Diddy as he spoke, adding comments like 'yeah' and 'full crazy.' 

Fans called the clip 'disturbing' and 'creepy,' adding that 'these videos need to resurface to expose the disturbing behavior of P Diddy around a 15-year-old Justin Bieber.

Khloe Kardashian recalled crossing paths with Justin Bieber at one of Diddy 's star-studded bashes, where she revealed that 'half of the guests were naked.'

The reality star, 40, made the remarks in a 2014 episode of Keeping Up With The Kardashians , which has resurfaced in the wake of Sean 'Diddy' Combs' arrest for sex trafficking charges.

The song Lonely was released in 2020, co-written by Justin, Blanco Blanco and Finneas.

Justin was discovered at age 13, catapulting him to worldwide fame.

In 2019, Justin reflected on his darker parts of his life due to growing up in the spotlight.

He was arrested in January 2014 for suspicious of a DUI and arrested again in September 2014, charged with assault and dangerous driving.  

Justin said by age 19, he was 'doing heavy drugs' and 'abused all of my relationships,' which he shared on his Instagram in 2019.

'I became resentful, disrespectful to women and angry. I became distant to everyone who loved me and I was hiding behind a shell of a person that I had become,' he wrote.

Justin turned his life around, wed Hailey Bieber in 2018, and welcomed their first child together in August 2024 - a son named Jack Blues Bieber.

In March, another resurfaced clip of teen Justin and Diddy appeared, shortly after Homeland Security raided Diddy's properties in Los Angeles and Miami.

Justin was 16 at the time, with Diddy grilling him on why he hasn't been speaking to him as much. 

'What's up man, you good? Selling out arenas and everything?' Diddy asked the teen. 

'Starting to act different, huh? You haven't been calling me and hanging out the way we used to hang out.'

Justin appeared anxious in the clip, telling him: 'I mean you tried to get in contact with me throughout all my... and what not... but you never got my number. I'm going to tell you my number.'

A source recently told DailyMail.com that Justin had been 'thrown' by the accusations against Diddy and 'is unwilling to process it or discuss it so he has shut off.'

Last Monday, Diddy was arrested and was soon denied bail by a judge after he used both his and his mother's homes in Miami - worth $50 million - as collateral.

On Wednesday, he lost an appeal to overturn the decision and will remain in custody while pending trial.

Sean 'Diddy' Combs is currently being held at Brooklyn's Metropolitan Detention Center following his indictment for sex trafficking, racketeering and transportation to engage in prostitution.

In the indictment against Diddy that was unsealed this week, it was claimed that federal raids on his Miami and Los Angeles mansions led to the discovery of over 1,000 bottles of baby oil and lubricant.

It is alleged that the rapper would coerce and manipulate victims into taking part in days-long sexual performances, which he dubbed 'freak offs.'

Diddy's associates would allegedly ply victims with drugs to keep them compliant and would make threats against anyone refusing to engage, in claims similar to those made in a civil lawsuit brought by Diddy's ex-girlfriend Cassie last year.

These allegations were central to prosecutors bringing sex trafficking charges against the producer, with observers noting that authorities are increasingly expanding the law to suit their cases against powerful defendants.

A step up in federal sex trafficking charges was passed by Congress in 2000 as an intentional step to take down prostitution rings and pimps, but the evolving nature of the charge has seen it more recently used to snare individuals like Keith Raniere.

Notably, Diddy has hired the same attorney, Marc Agnifilo, who has previously challenged the government's expanding use of federal sex trafficking charges in Raniere's 2019 trial that led to a 120-year sentence.

Raniere was the leader of the NXIVM cult, a self-help pyramid scheme that acted as a front for his various crimes, including sexual assault, sex trafficking, child pornography and forced labor.

At his trial, the cult leader's legal team attempted to argue that federal sex trafficking charges were overstretched to fit his case - the same argument Mr. Agifilo made at Diddy's bail hearing this week.

He claimed that the alleged 'freak offs' were merely the way Diddy was 'intimate' with people, and accused prosecutors of overstepping and 'coming into this man's bedroom.'

'Is it sex trafficking? No, not if everybody wants to be there,' Agnifilo said at the hearing.

After Diddy's arrest, he was taken to Brooklyn's Metropolitan Detention Center and has also been placed on suicide watch.

Sources informed DailyMail.com that the detention center is 'standard for high-profile individuals.'

It also comes after a resurfaced clip showed porn star, Jonathan Oddi, claiming in 2018 that he had been Diddy's sex slave - and alleged he had sex with the rapper and his ex, Cassie.

Numerous videos have since resurfaced following the rapper's arrest, including a 2002 interview on Late Night With Conan O'Brien where he made comments about having 'locks on the doors' to prevent women from leaving parties.

While giving tips on how to put on a 'killer party,' Combs said, 'This is what you need to do. Women. Beautiful women, of course. Beautiful men for the ladies, of course.'

He continued to give a checklist to throw a bash, such as needing 'alcohols' and 'some water.'

When Conan questioned why water was on the list, Diddy said, 'I don't know if guys have noticed this, like, a lot of ladies drink water at parties. They just, you know, so if you don't have what they need, they're gonna leave.'

'Gotta keep them there,' he continued. 'You need locks on the doors.'

Upon hearing the comment, O'Brien paused and then responded with, 'Okay, this is sounding kind of dangerous now.'

Diddy said, 'It's a little kinky,' and then jumped back into giving his tips to Conan and the live audience, such as not having air conditioning on.

To finish off his list, Sean said that 'you need good music' and 'you need me, of course.'

Other resurfaced clips of Combs have gone viral since his arrest that took place earlier this week on Monday.

One video - which was filmed in 2022 - showed Diddy and his mother, Janice, kissing on the lips.

Ne-Yo has also recently faced criticism after a past video of his ex-girlfriend, Sade Bagnerise, re-emerged which showed Sade comparing him to Diddy during an Instagram Live stream.
