Fans have been left baffled and suspicious after Usher claimed his Twitter account had been ‘hacked’ following the arrest of his former friend and collaborator, Diddy.
Diddy’s Arrest and Allegations
The rapper, whose real name is Sean Combs, was arrested at the Park Hyatt hotel in Manhattan, New York on September 16. Combs was charged with racketeering and sex trafficking by force, fraud or coercion — allegations he has denied.
Usher’s Twitter Activity and Fans’ Suspicions
On Sunday (22 September), tweets from Usher, who has previously had a close relationship with Diddy, were deleted. Everything from his media, posts, and replies were removed from the social media app, with just a few highlights remaining. However, two of those seemed to be of cryptocurrency scams seemingly posted by a hacker.
Usher later regained access to his Twitter account and wrote, “Account got hacked and damn y’all ran with it! See you tonight at Intuit Dome.”
Fans are now suspicious about Usher’s social media activity, with one person commenting, “So crazy how it got hacked…but instead of posting crazy stuff, the hacker just DELETED your posts and Diddy just got arrested. Soooooo weird we all ‘ran with it’. Right bro?”
Usher and Diddy’s History
Usher and Diddy lived together in New York when the former was 13 years old in the 1990s. Usher has previously stated that he went to see Diddy’s “lifestyle” and witnessed “very curious things” that he didn’t fully understand at the time.
Additionally, Usher and fellow singer Ne-Yo were named as witnesses to Diddy’s physical abuse of singer Cassandra Ventura in a lawsuit.
