Usher has spoken out after his Twitter/X account was temporarily wiped following Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs’ arrest.
Diddy was arrested in New York last Monday (September 16) and charged with sex trafficking, racketeering and transporting for prostitution. It followed a string of sexual misconduct allegations filed against him over the past year.
He has since been denied bail, with the latest reports claiming that he had been placed on suicide watch as he awaits trial.
Yesterday (September 22), Usher took to his X account to say it had temporarily been hacked after it had briefly been deleted.
Account got hacked and damn y’all ran with it! 😂😂😂 See you tonight at Intuit Dome ✌🏾👀✌🏾

He wrote: “Account got hacked and damn y’all ran with it! See you tonight at Intuit Dome.”
It led to scepticism from many users in the comments section, who claimed that the timing was too coincidental after Diddy’s arrest.
“What?? Lol, timing is JUST a coincidence huh?” while another added: “Ain’t nobody believing this.”
One user also added: “Someone hacked you and deleted old tweets? Thats a new one.”

Usher has not been accused directly of any criminal conduct in the allegations against Diddy.
Diddy’s legal representative Marc Agnifilo has asserted that he is innocent, and said that he will “fight like hell” to free him on bail, TMZ has reported. NME have also recently reached out to Diddy’s representatives for comment.
Meanwhile, Usher‘s comments about his experiences at Diddy’s home in a resurfaced interview went viral earlier this year, following news of Diddy’s homes being raided in a sex trafficking investigation.
Diddy discovered and developed Usher through his success in the 90s and 00s. Usher was also sent to live with Combs for a year after he signed a record deal with LA Reid.
During his time there, he told Rolling Stone in 2004 that Combs introduced him to “a totally different set of shit – sex, specifically”. “Sex is so hot in the industry, man,” he continued, alleging that “there was always girls around. 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.”
He expanded on his “pretty wild” experiences in another interview from 2016 on Howard Stern, where he claimed he saw “curious things”. “In the Nineties,” he said, “do you understand what that’s like?”
“I went there to see the lifestyle,” he continued. “And I saw it. But I don’t know if I could indulge and understand what I was even looking at. It was pretty wild. It was crazy. There were very curious things taking place and I didn’t necessarily understand it.”
When Stern asked Usher whether he would send his own child to live with Diddy, Usher replied: “Hell no”.
Elsewhere, LL Cool J and Flavor Flav were asked about their thoughts on the arrest of Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs at the Black Music Action Coalition gala in Los Angeles last week.
