Usher Addresses X Account Hack After Speculation Over Diddy’s Arrest

Usher has clarified why his tweets disappeared from his X account, following rampant speculation from fans suggesting the move was linked to Sean "Diddy" Combs' recent arrest on sex crime charges. The R&B superstar, known for his longstanding friendship with Diddy, assured fans that the wipeout was simply due to a hacking incident, not an effort to distance himself from the controversy surrounding the music mogul. "Account got hacked, and damn y'all ran with it," Usher posted on his X account, dismissing the rumors. He followed this up by promoting his upcoming show at the Intuit Dome in Inglewood, California. The disappearance of his tweets raised eyebrows because of Usher’s history with Diddy, with whom he lived as a teenager while breaking into the music industry. The timing of the incident, shortly after Diddy’s arrest on charges of racketeering and sex trafficking, led fans to believe Usher was attempting to cover up something potentially damaging. Fans quickly took to social media to express their doubts about Usher’s explanation. One user commented, "You got hacked and the hackers decided to delete all your tweets instead of tweeting random stuff?" Others speculated that Usher might be hiding something, with another fan writing, "Wow. Ok bro. That's some IMPECCABLE timing after your handler, erm I mean 'friend' Diddy is now going down for crimes against children." Still, some users dismissed the controversy, suggesting it could all be part of a promotion for his upcoming show. One fan wrote, "I hate this type of promotion. Just say you needed people to see you had a show coming up and keep it pushing." Though Usher has not been implicated in any criminal activity related to Diddy’s case, the resurfacing of past interviews has only fueled the conversation. Usher previously recounted stories of "wild" experiences at Diddy's house, where he lived for a time as a 14-year-old aspiring artist. In a 2004 *Rolling Stone* interview, Usher recalled, "You'd open a door and see somebody doing it, or several people in a room having an orgy. You never knew what was going to happen." In a 2016 appearance on *The Howard Stern Show*, Usher shared more details about his time at Diddy’s home, though he refrained from giving too much away. "I got a chance to see some things. I don't know if I could indulge and even understand what I was looking at," he admitted. When Stern asked if he would ever send his children to Diddy's "Puffy Flavor Camp," Usher quickly responded, "Hell no!" Want to listen to ALL of our podcasts AD-FREE?
