Update: Usher Says His X Account Was Hacked, Amidst Speculation He Deleted Posts Because Of Diddy’s Sex Trafficking Scandal
Update #1: Usher has reacted to the activity on his X account, saying that he was hacked. See his tweet below.
Original Story: R&B singer Usher is raising eyebrows after removing all tweets from his X account.
Internet users have been sharing their thoughts on what may have inspired the musician to wipe his page clean, with many surmising it’s connected to Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs’ recent arrest on sex trafficking charges.
It appears fans first noticed that Usher, real name Usher Raymond IV, 45, removed all the posts from his X page earlier today (Sunday, September 22nd). Reacting to the move, social media users began discussing whether or not he did so to avoid being associated with Diddy. One user wrote:
“Usher, now you my hero. Just tell the truth about “Flava Camp!” Tell them how Diddy made you sleep with all them strippers.”
Another added:
“Burna boy, Usher and [Pink] has now deleted all their post related to Diddy, something fishy going down”
Others hinted at similar thoughts, though a few claimed that the “Yeah!” singer’s page was cleansed weeks ago after his account was allegedly hacked.
As many pointed out, the timing of Usher removing the posts does coincide with his longtime friend and music affiliate Diddy being arrested this past Monday (September 17th). In case you’re unfamiliar, the billionaire stands accused of a number of racketeering related crimes, including sex trafficking men and women to perform services at his drug filled parties called “freak-offs.” The two artists working relationship can be dated back to Usher’s start in music, leading many to suspect that he was often privy to Diddy’s alleged crimes and may have possibly been a victim himself.
If you recall back in March of this year, Usher was asked about his experience working with the REVOLT founder at such a young age and spoke about “curious things” he witnessed while staying at Diddy’s home, stating:
“I got a chance to see some things … I don’t know if I could indulge and even understand what I was looking at…It was pretty wild. It was crazy. There were very curious things taking place and I didn’t necessarily understand it.”
At this time Usher has remained silent about Diddy’s arrest, and it doesn’t appear that he’s offered any insight about clearing his X account.
