Sean Diddy Combs, the rapper and producer, is currently facing charges of sex trafficking, abuse, and travel to engage in prostitution. In light of these accusations, a spotlight has been cast on his past relationship with R&B singer, Usher. When Usher was just 13 years old, Diddy became his legal guardian and produced his self-titled debut album in 1994. Recently, Usher's comments about his time living with Diddy have resurfaced, including a 2004 Rolling Stone interview where he discussed the sexual environment he was exposed to while under Diddy's care. Furthermore, Diddy's former bodyguard, Gene Deal, has alleged that Usher was physically abused by Diddy as a child, resulting in severe injuries that sent him to the hospital. These allegations have raised concerns about Diddy's influence on young stars and the potential for past crimes.

Diddy's former bodyguard claims he abused Usher as a child

Sean "Diddy" Combs, who is currently facing charges of sex trafficking, abuse, and travel to engage in prostitution, has been accused of abusing singer-songwriter Usher when the latter was a child. This allegation was made by Diddy's former bodyguard, Gene Deal, who worked for the rapper throughout the 1990s. Deal claimed that Diddy abused Usher in a brutal manner, causing him to bleed from his buttocks. The allegation has raised eyebrows regarding Diddy's impact on young stars, as he had been Usher's legal guardian for a year during the '90s.

Usher, who was introduced to sex at 13 years old while under Diddy's guardianship, has briefly spoken about his experience over the years. In a 2004 Rolling Stone interview, he noted that there were always girls around Diddy's home, with people often engaging in sexual acts.

Gene Deal, Diddy's former bodyguard, indicated in a recent interview that he heard about the alleged abuse from a music executive in the industry. Deal's allegation follows more than 100 lawsuits against Diddy, 25 of which were minors at the time of the alleged abuse. The youngest child among the lawsuit filers was a 9-year-old boy.

In light of these accusations, many are revisiting past interviews and conversations with the disgraced rapper, finding that evidence of his supposed crimes may have always been hiding in plain sight. Diddy, the owner of Bad Boy Records, currently awaits trial in a Brooklyn jail facility.

Usher was 13 when Diddy became his legal guardian

Sean "Diddy" Combs, the rapper and producer, became the legal guardian of singer Usher when the latter was just 13 years old. Diddy also produced Usher's self-titled 1994 debut album. In a 2004 interview with Rolling Stone, Usher recalled that Diddy introduced him to sex: "There was always girls around. You'd open a door and see somebody doing it, or several people in a room having an orgy. You never knew what was going to happen."

Usher has often recalled the things he was exposed to during his time living with Diddy. In a 2016 interview with Howard Stern, he said there were "very curious things taking place" at Diddy's parties, which were often nicknamed "Puffy Flavor Camp". He also said that he could stay up until 4 a.m. partying with Diddy and his entourage.

In 2024, fans noticed that Usher had deleted all his tweets, raising some eyebrows. This came at a time when Diddy was facing several charges and lawsuits related to sex trafficking, abuse, and travel to engage in prostitution. Usher has not publicly addressed these charges and lawsuits. However, in a 2013 speech, he said that Diddy introduced him to "parties, women, sex, and drugs" and that he "wouldn't pass on any of the advice" he got from him.

Usher was exposed to sex and orgies while living with Diddy

Sean "Diddy" Combs, the rapper and producer, is currently facing charges of sex trafficking, abuse, and travel to engage in prostitution. In light of these accusations, past interviews and conversations with the rapper have been revisited, including those with R&B singer, Usher.

Usher, whose 1994 self-titled debut album was produced by Diddy, lived with the rapper when he was just 13 years old, as Diddy was his legal guardian. In a 2004 interview with Rolling Stone, Usher recalled being exposed to a lot at a young age while under Diddy's wing. He specifically mentioned being introduced to sex, saying, "There was always girls around. You'd open a door and see somebody doing it, or several people in an orgy. You never knew what was going to happen."

Usher also spoke about his time with Diddy during his 35th birthday celebration in 2013, where he described the rapper's parties, saying, "I was introduced to everything by Puff Daddy when I was only 15 - parties, women, sex, and drugs. I've had a taste of it but I'd never let it take me over."

In a resurfaced video interview, Usher recalled living at Diddy's house at 14 and witnessing wild parties and curious events. When asked if Diddy's house was the center of wild parties and non-stop orgies, Usher replied, "Not really... I got a chance to see some things... I don't know if I could indulge and even understand what I was looking at. It was pretty wild. It was crazy."

Usher's descriptions of his time with Diddy raise concerns about the rapper's influence on young stars, especially given the seriousness of the current allegations against him.

Diddy was arrested on sex trafficking and racketeering charges

Sean "Diddy" Combs, the American rapper and record producer, was arrested on sex trafficking and racketeering charges in September 2024. He was denied bail and is awaiting trial in a Brooklyn jail facility.

Diddy, 54, is accused of running a "criminal enterprise" that threatened, abused, and sexually exploited women. The indictment alleges that he used his business empire to carry out criminal activity, including sex trafficking, forced labor, kidnapping, arson, bribery, and obstruction of justice.

Diddy is charged with one count of racketeering conspiracy, one count of sex trafficking by force, fraud, or coercion, and one count of transportation for purposes of prostitution. Each of these charges carries a maximum sentence of life in prison, with a mandatory minimum of 15 years for the sex trafficking charge.

The investigation into Diddy's alleged crimes has been ongoing for some time. In March 2024, residences linked to him in Los Angeles and Miami were raided by Homeland Security as part of a sex trafficking investigation. He has also faced multiple lawsuits and criminal charges over the years, including allegations of sexual assault and rape.

The charges against Diddy have raised eyebrows regarding his impact on young stars. In the '90s, Diddy took legal guardianship of singer Usher, who spent a year at Diddy's Flavor Camp. Usher has recalled being exposed to a "totally different set of st — sex, specifically" during his time with Diddy, and a former bodyguard of Diddy alleged that Usher was abused by him and sent to the hospital.

Usher's Twitter profile was scrubbed of all posts in September 2024

In September 2024, R&B singer Usher's Twitter profile was scrubbed of all posts. This incident raised suspicions among fans, especially since it occurred around the time of Sean "Diddy" Combs' arrest and indictment on charges of sex trafficking, abuse, and transportation to engage in prostitution. Usher was a minor under Diddy's legal guardianship in the 1990s, and there are allegations that he was exposed to inappropriate content during that period.

Usher himself claimed that his Twitter account was hacked, and indeed, there is evidence to support this assertion. Screenshots posted by other users show that Usher's account was hacked as early as September 12, promoting a meme coin scam and soliciting cryptocurrency investments. However, many people were skeptical of Usher's explanation, believing that the deletion of tweets was an attempt to distance himself from Diddy's scandal or to hide incriminating evidence.

The timing of the Twitter profile scrub also coincided with Usher being named in a lawsuit against Diddy by former collaborator Dawn Richard. Richard alleged that Usher witnessed Diddy physically assaulting his ex-girlfriend Cassie Ventura, further fueling speculation that Usher may be trying to dissociate himself from the situation.

While the true reason for Usher's Twitter profile being scrubbed remains unclear, it occurred against a backdrop of growing cyberattacks on Twitter and heightened scrutiny of Diddy's past behavior, with many revisiting Usher's own past comments about his experiences with Diddy.
