Usher has addressed the sudden disappearance of his Twitter account, which occurred shortly after the arrest of his friend Sean “Diddy” Combs. Diddy was taken into federal custody last week on serious charges including sex trafficking and racketeering, leading to speculation about the timing of Usher’s account wipe.
In a lighthearted tweet, Usher explained that his account was “hacked,” responding to the buzz and headlines surrounding the situation. He quipped, “Account got hacked and damn y’all ran with it! See you tonight at Intuit Dome.”
The atmosphere among celebrities has become tense since Diddy’s arrest, with many reportedly feeling apprehensive. High-profile figures like Mary J. Blige and 50 Cent have openly criticized Diddy, with Blige accusing him of deceit during their professional relationship. Meanwhile, others associated with Diddy have remained silent as allegations about his “Freak Off” parties and potentially damaging videos circulate online.
Usher has previously shared his experiences living with Diddy during his teenage years, recalling those times as “wild.” In a past interview, he described the lifestyle he encountered, remarking, “There were very curious things taking place, and I didn’t necessarily understand it.”
Diddy’s indictment outlines a series of disturbing allegations, including claims of abuse—emotional, verbal, physical, and sexual—against multiple women over several years. The indictment further accuses Diddy of establishing a criminal enterprise that engaged in various illegal activities.
