Hailey Bieber has taken to social media to share a message with fans amid the P Diddy sex scandal and growing concerns over her husband, Justin Bieber, who was once close to the rapper

Hailey Bieber posted a cryptic message as fans worry about hubby Justin Bieber.

Old clips of a youthful Justin Bieber alongside Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs have cropped up over past few days after Combs was arrested on 16 September, charged with sex trafficking, racketeering and transportation to engage in prostitution – all of which he “categorically” denies. Back in the day Bieber hung around with Combs and even got some career guidance from the star.

New mum Hailey and her other half Justin haven’t spoken about the Diddy arrest drama, which is getting a lot of attention because of old videos showing young Justin hanging with grown-up Combs. Hailey dropped a snapshot onto her Instagram Stories showing Justin flicking the Vs at some pesky snappers, reports the Mirror.

To her whopping 53.6 million followers, Hailey simply wrote: “Mood.” Before Combs found himself in hot water last month, Justin Bieber, now 30 and all grown up, featured on the troubled star’s latest album, The Love Album: Off The Grid, belting out a tune called Moments.

Flashback to September, Biebs took to Instagram with a cheeky throwback, saying, “I remember going to my brother Diddy’s office to pitch him a song I wrote for him when I was like 14, sadly the song was trash haha,” he confessed on his Insta Story.

“And it would be a hard no from him, fast forward to a few years ago Puff asked if I would freestyle something for his upcoming love album. Wild full circle moment, love you @diddy,” he gushed in the post. However, Justin is now allegedly “so disturbed by the Diddy news” and “unwilling to process it or discuss it so he has shut off,” claimed a source back in September.

“So many people who helped to make him who he is were very close to Diddy and it has completely thrown him,” they told to the Daily Mail. The insider went on to suggest that Bieber is regretting getting involved in Combs’ project, hinting that the pop sensation would’ve steered clear if “he had known any of this.”

Word on the street is that Justin’s also been taking a “long break” from hanging with Combs “when he believes most of this took place.” While Combs is currently held at Brooklyn’s Metropolitan Detention Centre, it has also been reported that Justin is aware of his long-time friend and collaborator’s legal issues but is choosing to focus on fatherhood instead.

A source close to Justin, who recently celebrated the birth of his son Jack with wife Hailey, disclosed that the new dad has been “in a happy bubble” since Jack’s arrival and “just wants to focus on being a great dad and husband.”

The once tight bond between Justin and Combs was established early on, with a 15 year old Justin making waves in the music industry after joining Usher’s label, quickly becoming part of his mentor’s crew. Proclaiming his innocence, Diddy has denied all the recent accusations made against him and his lawyer Marc Agnifilo delivered a statement to the press saying: “Mr Combs is a fighter, he’s going to fight this to the end. He’s innocent. He came to New York to establish his innocence. He’s not afraid, he’s not afraid of the charges.”
