The 'Caught Up' singer claims his account was hacked after all his tweets seemed to be removed, leading to speculation about his connection to Diddy's arrest.

AceShowbiz - Usher's X account, formerly known as Twitter, was hacked on Sunday, September 22. All previous posts, media and replies were deleted, sparking confusion and theories among his fans. The timing of the deletion raised questions about Usher's relationship with music mogul Sean "P. Diddy" Combs, who was arrested last week on federal sex trafficking and racketeering charges.
Usher quickly responded to the situation, tweeting, "Account got hacked and damn y'all ran with it!" He assured his followers that he would still perform at the Intuit Dome in Los Angeles on Sunday night.
Some fans speculated that Usher might have deleted his tweets to distance himself from Diddy's legal troubles. Earlier this year, Usher mentioned that he lived with Combs in New York in the 1990s, and described an environment where he witnessed drug use, orgies and abuse. However, Usher has not been accused of any crimes related to Diddy's case.
Other celebrities, including pop star Pink and actor Megan Fox, also experienced account deletions on X around the same time as Usher. None of them have publicly addressed the incident.
Usher's X account has since been recovered, and his previous posts have been restored. The investigation into the hacking incident is ongoing.
