Usher Deletes All His Tweets Following Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs’ Human Trafficking Arrest

Tweet and delete?

Fans were left confused when Usher deleted his entire Twitter story (X) days after his close friend and mentor Sean “Diddy” Combs was arrested and charged with sex trafficking.

On Sunday, tweets from the “My Boo” singer’s account disappeared, including his posts, multimedia and replies.

All fans can see on Usher’s account are a few highlights, but two of them are from hackers who tweeted about cryptocurrency scams.

Fans wondered why the 45-year-old R&B singer deleted his profile, especially now that he is in the middle of his highly anticipated Past, Present, Future tour.

“No one on Usher’s team said deleting 7k posts would look fucking crazy considering the circumstances,” one user asked.

“Wow. Apparently @Usher deleted his entire Twitter story /@X. Why would someone famous do that?” added another.

“The fact that Usher deleted his entire Twitter history tells us all we need to know,” a third fan said.

On Sunday evening, the “Yeah!” singer later addressed the deleted tweets, claiming he was a victim of hackers.

“The account was hacked and you all ran away!” he wrote on X alongside crying emojis.

“See you tonight at the Intuit Dome,” Usher added, referring to his concert in Inglewood, California.

Page Six reached out to Usher’s representatives for comment but did not immediately receive a response.

The “OMG” singer’s close relationship with Combs, 54, has been thrown into doubt following the arrest of the Bad Boy Records founder.

Although Usher has not been charged with any crimes, he and Ne-Yo were named as witnesses to Combs’ physical abuse of singer Casandra “Cassie” Ventura in Dawn Richard’s lawsuit against the rap mogul.

In the ’90s, Usher lived in New York City with the “Act Bad” rapper when he was around 14 or 15 years old to get a feel for the music industry.

In a 2004 interview with Rolling Stone, the “Love In This Club” singer stated that during the time he lived with Combs, “there were always girls around.”

“You’d open the door and see someone doing it, or a couple of people in a room having an orgy. You never knew what was going to happen,” he shared.

Usher admitted that he also experimented with women, but did not become sexually intimate until he was 19.

“Weird, but I’ve never busted a nut before,” he confessed. “I did it until I knew the girl was okay, and then I stopped.”

In a 2016 interview on “The Howard Stern Show,” Usher said there were “some very strange things going on” that he didn’t fully understand.

“I had the opportunity to see some things. I went there to see the lifestyle and I saw it. I don’t know if I could give myself over to that and understand what I saw,” he said.

“I had my own curiosity. I just didn’t understand it. It was pretty wild. It was crazy.”

Usher made no mention of his pal Combs’ recent legal troubles, which began in November 2023 when his ex-girlfriend, Ventura, 38, filed a lawsuit against him, accusing him of rape and abuse during their 10-year relationship.

Although founder Sean John denied the accusations, he and the “Me & U” singer reached a settlement in the case the following day.

After several other trials and searches of his homes in Miami and Los Angeles, Combs was arrested and charged with three counts: conspiracy to commit ransom, human trafficking by force, fraud or coercion, and transportation for the purpose of prostitution.

The man has pleaded not guilty to the charges. The father of seven is currently being held without bail at the Metropolitan Detention Center in Brooklyn, New York.
