The 'Yummy' hitmaker steps out solo, without his wife Hailey Bieber, at the Chateau Marmont as he tries to distance himself from disgraced music mogul, Diddy, amid scandal.

AceShowbiz - Justin Bieber, 30, was spotted in Los Angeles on Friday night, October 4, appearing pensive and showing no smile, a reflection of the ongoing scandal involving his former close associate Sean "P. Diddy" Combs, 54. Bieber was photographed leaving the Chateau Marmont solo, clad in a white hoodie and a matching white and red patterned scarf that looked like keffiyeh, which has become a symbol of Palestine-pro voice, around his head.
Diddy, 54, is currently under scrutiny due to serious accusations involving minors. This has led to the resurfacing of clips and interactions between Bieber and Diddy from over a decade ago.
One old video showed a 15-year-old Bieber spending "48 hours" with Diddy. The video featured Diddy making a questionable remark, "Where we hanging out and what we doing, we can't really disclose, but it's definitely a 15-year-old's dream,: which many have since dubbed as "creepy" given the current allegations.
Another resurfaced video showed Bieber appearing visibly uncomfortable when Diddy confronted him about their faltering communication, saying, "Starting to act different, huh? You haven't been calling me and hanging out the way we used to hang out." The young pop star stuttered as he awkwardly responded, "You tried to get in contact with me throughout all my [partners] and what not - but you never got my number, so want my number?"
Recently, a 2011 segment from "Jimmy Kimmel Live!," featuring Diddy warning Bieber to keep quiet about their experience together, has also re-emerged. In the clip, when Bieber mentioned that Diddy had promised to buy him a Lamborghini, Diddy replied curtly, "He knows better than to be talking about the things that he does with big brother Puff on national television. … Everything ain't for everybody."
According to a representative for Bieber, the singer is "aware of Diddy's arrest and all the allegations," but he is adamant about focusing on his personal life. As the rep stated, Bieber - who married Hailey Bieber in 2018 and became a father to their son, Jack, in August - "just wants to focus on being a great dad and husband."
Despite this, Bieber's name continues to be interwoven into conversations about Diddy's legal troubles, with rumors swirling about tapes implicating various A-list celebrities in compromising situations. Reports indicate there are three different tapes featuring different celebrities, including Diddy, and a fourth tape excluding Diddy but nonetheless scandalous.
