Where Was Justin Bieber’s Father When His Son Became Diddy’s “Prey”?
Many fans wonder if Justin Bieber’s life and career would have been different had he received the proper care and guidance from his father. As a famous child star, Justin is a clear example of how essential parental guidance is for a young celebrity. Justin’s mother, Pattie Mallette, gave birth to him in her teenage years and raised him alone. Although she tried to preserve Jeremy Bieber’s image—Justin’s father—he has long been seen as an irresponsible parent who abandoned his son at crucial times, only to reappear once Justin had achieved success.
When Justin was born, Jeremy Bieber struggled with addiction, had run-ins with the law, and left the family, taking all their possessions with him. His scandals resurfaced recently when DailyMail reported that he managed an Instagram account showcasing bikini photos of his six-year-old daughter, attracting thousands of male followers who left inappropriate comments. Many fans question if Justin’s life and career path would have been different had he received the guidance and support of a more involved father.
Justin Bieber: A Victim of the Entertainment Industry Since He Was Just 14
When Justin Bieber signed a record deal in 2008, he was only 14 years old and incredibly naïve. With fame arriving quickly, the young singer became an easy target for the “predators” of the entertainment industry. It was during this time that Bieber is believed to have become a victim of Diddy, the famous rap mogul.
Many fans wonder why Justin’s parents didn’t intervene in his life. The truth is, Jeremy Bieber, Justin’s father, wasn’t exactly a good role model. In 2014, while intoxicated and using drugs, Jeremy encouraged Justin (then 19) to drag race a Lamborghini in a residential neighborhood, which led to Justin’s arrest. After posting $2,500 bail, Jeremy continued leading his son into unhealthy partying.
Two years later, fans were disgusted when Jeremy Bieber boasted about his son’s “size” after sensitive photos of Justin were leaked. In the Bieber family, typical father-son roles appeared reversed, with Justin financially supporting his father, giving him $50,000 per month. This money was reportedly spent by Jeremy on parties and drinking.
Justin Bieber: Yearning for a Bond with His Father During Difficult Times
Despite the challenges in his life, Justin Bieber has always wanted a close bond with his father. The singer has expressed that he wanted to be closer to his father than his mother and has maintained a good relationship with his half-siblings. Justin sympathizes with Jeremy Bieber, saying, “My dad was young back then… There’s a misconception that he was irresponsible, but the truth is he’s been in my life since I was four. I saw him every Wednesday and on weekends.”
Justin named his first child Jack Blues Bieber, with “Jack” being his father’s middle name, which shows the deep affection he has for Jeremy. However, despite these efforts, Justin has continued to face crises. He struggles to figure out how to be a good father himself, lacking a role model to look up to: “Justin is very stressed; he has a son and is trying to be a good father without any example to follow.”
Justin Bieber is now caught up in the sexual abuse scandal involving rap mogul Diddy. After years of concealment, Diddy’s horrifying sexual abuse crimes have recently come to light, with Justin allegedly being one of his victims from a young age. Since the allegations surfaced, the singer has remained silent.
Justin signed with Usher’s record label at age 15 and was mentored by Diddy, who had also helped Usher rise in his career. Diddy’s mentorship has led to concerns that Justin might have been a victim, unaware of the manipulation. Many suspect Diddy influenced Justin’s early psychological struggles and impulsive romantic life, even distorting his understanding of personal growth.
On the platform X, a video has resurfaced of 15-year-old Justin spending 48 hours with Diddy. In the video, Justin appears uncomfortable standing next to Diddy. In another instance, Diddy questioned why Justin didn’t meet with him as often as before. In response, Justin looked down, seeming uneasy, fueling speculation that he may have wanted to avoid the notorious rap mogul.
Justin Bieber: Hidden Messages and Dark Reflections
Justin Bieber has always drawn attention with his music and personal life, but many are now questioning his relationship with Diddy. The music video for “Yummy” (2020) from the album Changes is thought to contain messages condemning sexual abuse cases in the entertainment industry. Additionally, the song “Where Are U Now” (2015) sparked fan curiosity, with an image of Bieber accompanied by the phrase “Help me pls.”
In 2021, Justin collaborated with Benny Blanco on the song “Lonely,” depicting a young man enduring loneliness, anxiety, and turmoil despite his fame. The song evokes the real-life hardships Justin has faced. In an interview, he shared that he had to fight to survive in the entertainment world and often felt his life was “terrible and dark.” Though he didn’t go into detail, he admitted that he had “lived in shame” because of his troubled past.
These musical works are not just art but Justin’s voice, revealing the painful experiences he’s faced and raising questions about safety and mental health in the entertainment industry.
