Usher Explains Deleted Tweets After Diddy Rumors Run Rampant

Usher clarified the removal of all his tweets following conspiracy theories connecting him to Diddy’s sex trafficking and racketeering allegations. Over the weekend, fans noticed his posts on X (formerly Twitter) were deleted, sparking speculation about a link to Diddy’s recent arrest. In response to the buzz, Usher returned to social media to explain, “My account got hacked, and y’all ran with it! [laughing face] See you tonight at Intuit Dome,” promoting his concert in Inglewood, California. Usher and Diddy share a friendship that dates back over 30 years, with Diddy mentoring Usher in the 1990s. In a 2016 interview with Howard Stern, Usher reminisced about his “wild” experiences living and working with Diddy, noting he witnessed some “curious things” at what was known as “Flavor Camp.” “I moved to New York and lived with Sean ‘Puffy’ Combs for a year in the ‘90s. It was a wild lifestyle, and I’m not sure I fully understood it,” Usher shared. When Stern asked if he would send his own child to a Puffy camp, Usher replied, “Hell no.” Earlier this year, Usher was mentioned in civil proceedings against Diddy related to alleged sex crimes. Producer Lil Rod hinted at Usher in a complaint that claimed Diddy revealed he had sexual encounters with unnamed artists, including a singer who “performed at the Super Bowl” and a rapper linked to Nicki Minaj, which many interpreted as referring to Meek Mill. While Usher has not publicly addressed these serious allegations, Meek quickly dismissed them as “sick.”
