AceShowbiz - Justin Bieber is reportedly experiencing emotional distress following the arrest of Sean "P. Diddy" Combs, his former mentor and close friend, on charges of sex trafficking, racketeering, fraud and transportation to engage in prostitution.

Sources close to Bieber reveal that he is in a difficult mental space due to his long-standing history with Combs. The scandal has deeply affected Bieber, who has been advised to maintain distance from the situation.

Despite his challenges, Bieber has found solace in his new role as a father to his infant son Jack. A source stated that his "happiness being a dad has outweighed his anxiety about Diddy."

While Bieber has remained silent on the Combs scandal, his relationship with the music mogul has come under scrutiny. Resurfaced videos and footage have raised concerns about Combs' inappropriate behavior with a young Bieber.

In one viral video from 2009, Combs boasts about spending "48 hours" with a 15-year-old Bieber, an eyebrow-raising revelation that has fueled public outrage.

Combs has denied any wrongdoing and maintains his innocence in the face of the charges against him. The music mogul remains in custody and is awaiting trial, potentially facing a life sentence or a minimum of 15 years in prison if convicted.

While Bieber has not commented on the allegations, he has been urged to distance himself from Combs' controversies and focus on his family. Sources indicate that Bieber is committed to leaving the past behind and prioritizing his well-being and the happiness of his young son.
