Hailey Bieber has been Justin Bieber’s rock. Before the two tied the knot in September 2018, Justin was known to be a bad boy and was mixing with the wrong crowd, one of those people being Sean “Diddy” Combs. Diddy was arrested and charged with racketeering conspiracy, sex trafficking, and transportation to engage in prostitution. He has denied all allegations.
As legal proceedings unfold, attention has shifted to Justin, who was once mentored by Diddy. Justin took a break from the spotlight after releasing the Purpose album in 2015 and going on tour. When he came back to the music scene after a five-year hiatus, he was what Beliebers believed was a “better and healthier” Justin.
In the 10-part YouTube docuseries, Justin Bieber: Seasons, the Love Yourself singer gave fans an inside look into the making of his album Changes, love life with Hailey but most importantly, he opened up about drugs and his mental health.
On the episode “The Dark Season,” Justin and his friends, Scooter Braun, Allison Kaye and Hailey opened up about some of the struggles the pop star went through throughout his career. Justin revealed that he started smoking weed at around 12 to 13 years old, sipped on lean, did shrooms and popped pills.
The As Long As You Love Me singer said that he decided to stop because he thought he “was dying.” It got to the point where his security had to go into his room at night and check his pulse. He would wake up in the morning “popping pills and smoking a blunt” and things got “scary.”
Recent videos of Justin and Diddy resurfaced with many questioning Justin’s actions and whereabouts at the time. One of the video’s showed Diddy and Justin outside with Diddy announcing that he was taking Justin under his wing for 48 hours. Justin was 15 years old at that time. Diddy said in the video: “Where we hanging out and what we’re doing we can’t really disclose. But it’s definitely a 15-year-old’s dream.”
Around the time Justin came back to the spotlight, was the same time he and his now wife, Hailey, made things official. She admitted that the two did not get together until he chose to get sober “coming out of the drugs, almost himself.” In the docuseries, Hailey was seen reminding Justin to take his medication and setting up a “chamber” that helps him get more oxygen to his brain and decrease stress levels.The album Changes and the song was Justin showcasing a new era. Justin has yet spoken out about Diddy after his arrest.
