The world media is focusing on the arrest of music mogul Diddy, and Justin Bieber’s series of products are also “hot” again.
In 2020, Justin Bieber released the MV Yummy – a promotional single for his studio album Changes. The return of the pop prince at that time received mixed opinions. The MV Yummy with repetitive lyrics, introduced as a “metaphor” for the hotness of his wife Hailey Bieber, disappointed experts.
Many music sites commented that this product was meaningless, empty, and a step back for Justin Bieber. Although controversial, Yummy was commercially successful, creating a global trend.

Nearly 5 years have passed since Yummy’s release, and this MV has once again become the center of controversy among netizens. However, this time the reaction is completely opposite. No longer criticized as meaningless, Yummy has been discussed by netizens with a series of “conspiracy theories” related to the most shocking sex case of the moment.
In recent days, the world media has been focusing on the arrest of music mogul Sean Coms (Diddy). Diddy is a top American rapper, producer and record executive who has helped many young stars become successful, including Justin Bieber. Diddy has been accused of sex trafficking, coercion and abuse of victims. The music mogul used his record labels and companies to broker prostitution and participate in sex shows. Diddy’s crimes have been going on for many years. The victims include both men and women, including minors.
Because of Diddy’s case, Justin Bieber suddenly became the center of attention. The past of the pop prince was dug up. Accompanying him since the age of 14, many people suspected Diddy was the reason why Justin Bieber had abnormal psychological symptoms and a loose love life. On the X platform, a series of posts pointed out that Justin had repeatedly alluded to his childhood abuse through music. First of all, the song Lonely.
Lonely is filled with sadness and torment, expressing the young man’s turmoil. At the peak, Justin felt lonely and “sick of them criticizing everything I did”. The main character in the MV Lonely is a young man, who looks like a teenage Justin Bieber. After reading the indictment with countless acts of manipulation, violence, and child abuse of Diddy, people increasingly question whether Justin was also a victim in his childhood.
This speculation spreads throughout the Yummy MV – a product with bright colors but containing many confusing images. The MV opens with a scene of a party, where Justin walks past children playing musical instruments, with an unhappy expression. The party is served with many strange dishes, and the image of cherries was originally thought to represent Hailey Bieber’s charm.
But now, this image has been distorted. In Western culture, cherries symbolize virginity. The cherries disappear when the dishes are served.
The party is in ruins at the end of the MV. The chaotic scene quickly transitions to Justin Bieber’s indifferent expression. Notably, on the plate at the end of the MV is an image of the singer himself, in his childhood. Justin Bieber is likened to a dish being torn apart by the upper class. According to behind-the-scenes revelations, at the time of filming this MV, Justin was in a panic and had to be reassured many times.
Because of this, netizens believe that Justin Bieber is using metaphorical images to warn the public about the dark side of the entertainment industry. Where the pop prince witnessed many horrifying realities when he was underage. Or most likely, Diddy served sex parties in the way Justin portrayed in the MV. Later, when he became famous, Justin Bieber was very strong in sending messages to protect young artists.
However, everything is just speculation of netizens at the moment. Justin Bieber has not expressed his stance on the incident related to Diddy. People exclusively reported that Justin Bieber is aware that he is the center of attention. He ignores all the gossip to focus on his music career, as well as taking care of his first child with his wife Hailey. After the storm, this is the peace that Justin Bieber needs most.
