Representatives for Justin Bieber said on Thursday that he is not a victim of the crimes alleged in Sean “Diddy” Combs sex trafficking trial, breaking his silence to address online speculation that has swirled for months over the teenage heartthrob and the disgraced music mogul.

"Although Justin is not among Sean Combs’ victims, there are individuals who were genuinely harmed by him," a spokesperson for Bieber told TMZ on Thursday night. "Shifting focus away from this reality detracts from the justice these victims rightfully deserve."

Combs is currently on trial in New York City fighting sex trafficking charges and could face life in prison if found guilty. Combs has pleaded not guilty to all of the charges. Representatives for Bieber and Diddy have not responded to requests for comment..

In recent months, old images and videos of the pair — the then-teenaged Bieber alongside the 30-something Combs — have resurfaced, with fans speculating that Bieber, now 31, was the victim of nefarious activity.

In a video Bieber posted on YouTube in 2019, Diddy was showing Bieber a Lamborghini and told him he could have it when he turned 16.

"Where we hanging out and what we doing, we can’t really disclose. But it’s definitely a 15-year-old’s dream… We’re gonna go buck-full crazy."

In an appearance on "Jimmy Kimmel Live!" in 2011, the unlikely pair appeared together and said they became friends.

"He knows better than to be talking about the things that he does with big brother Puff on national television," Combs said. "Everything ain’t for everybody."
