When a figure like Suge Knight speaks, it’s hard to ignore the ripple effects—whether you agree with him or not. After all, he co-founded Death Row Records and made a name for himself as one of the most controversial and divisive figures in the music industry. Now, from behind bars, he has made a bold new claim that has set the internet on fire.
During a recent prison phone interview with Michael Franzese, Knight dropped a bombshell about Sean Combs—specifically about Diddy’s alleged involvement with Usher and Justin Bieber.
The timing couldn’t be more intriguing. Diddy, the mogul behind Bad Boy Records, is facing a turbulent future as he prepares for a trial in May 2025 on serious charges, including human trafficking. Though he has firmly denied the allegations, they’ve already cast a dark cloud over his legacy.
Suge Knight’s Allegations: Diddy & Usher’s Relationship May Be Darker Than We Knew?
In a forthright interview with Michael Franzese, which was shared on YouTube on November 12, Suge Knight spilled some startling allegations about the relationship between Diddy and Usher. These were not your run-of-the-mill gossip; Knight hinted at something far darker, claiming that what the public knew about Usher’s ties with Diddy might just be the tip of the iceberg.
And while Knight, 59, didn’t dive into the deepest of details, the implications of what he said were more than enough to turn heads. Knight claimed:
Worst part about it is, everybody said what was done to Usher and they have done it to JB [Justin Bieber]. And the deal with Usher, Usher spent the night with him and Puffy being in the same bed.
Knight didn’t stop there. He revealed that when he first crossed paths with Usher, Diddy’s associates warned him to steer clear of the R&B artist, implying that Sean Combs had more than just a professional interest in him. Knight recalled:
Somebody came over and said, ‘You know don’t have one of your guys do nothing to him [Usher]… he, a good young man. And even Puffy got a thing.
Knight claimed the rumors suggested Combs and Usher’s relationship wasn’t just business or friendship, with some even alleging Usher was Diddy’s “boyfriend”.
The crazy thing about it is like… his mother and everybody else said the same thing. Well, it was wrong. But if we go get Puffy in trouble behind that, Usher wouldn’t be Usher. He’d be known as a guy molested by Puffy. And they didn’t want that.
The gravity of these accusations is hard to ignore, especially when Knight claimed that those around Usher prioritized the artist’s career over his well-being. “They wanted money,” the former suggested.
Suge Knight Accuses Diddy of Exploiting Justin Bieber
In the same conversation with Michael Franzese, Suge Knight claimed that Diddy, currently facing serious charges including s*x trafficking and racketeering, took a disturbing interest in mentoring Justin Bieber.
It was the saddest thing in the world what they did to Justin Bieber.
He alleged that Diddy had manipulated the Baby singer, even going so far as to suggest that the mogul was grooming Bieber during his early career.
They had s*x with him when he was a kid. I hate to say that because I really like Justin Bieber. I feel bad for Justin Bieber.
But Knight didn’t stop there. He went on to describe a troubling situation where Diddy and his associates allegedly exposed Bieber to unhealthy and dangerous behaviors.
What he allowed these grown men to do to this little boy was unhealthy. No grown men are supposed to be getting high and doing drugs and drinking with kids.
In the wake of Diddy’s arrest and the growing number of lawsuits, old footage of Bieber with Sean Combs has resurfaced on social media.
Knight’s accusations go deeper. He claimed that Diddy and his associates would go so far as to plan private vacations for Bieber—vacations that, according to Knight, were more than a little suspicious:
He had grown men take Justin Bieber, when he was young, on romantic vacations, showing pictures on Instagram with no women—nobody else but grown successful men and this little kid.
While these allegations remain unproven and highly controversial, the suggestion of a darker side to the relationships between these music icons is hard to be ignored. Well, with Bieber and Usher remaining silent, Knight’s bold allegations make it clear that the dark underbelly of the music industry is far from being laid to rest.
