Justin Bieber's surprise performance comes following mentor Sean 'Diddy' Combs' recent arrest
Justin Bieber performed in Los Angeles one month after his friend Sean "Diddy" Combs was arrested in New York City for trafficking and racketeering charges.
According to a source earlier this month, the 'Baby' singer was having mental health issues as a result of Diddy's widely publicized controversy.
An insider revealed to Us Weekly, "Justin is in a hard place mentally right now. He has such a history with Diddy and the allegations against him have been hard to process."
Justin is "completely disgusted" by the scenario involving Diddy, 54, who has strongly denied the charges against him, according to a different source.
A source informed People that Justin was preoccupied with his newborn kid, Jack, when the disgraced rapper was arrested in September.
The insider said of Justin, "He’s aware of Diddy’s arrest and all the allegations," and that the Grammy winner has "been in a happy bubble since baby Jack was born."
