“Bieber is so stressed out about the Diddy news that he doesn’t want to process or discuss it, so he’s shut down,” a source shared, also mentioning that Justin regrets his past work with Combs, including helping him record his last album.
The insider added, “Justin distanced himself from Diddy when he felt something wasn’t right. If he had known what was going on, he never would have been involved with his last album.”
