Da Brat, a friend of Usher, has denied reports that he got into a serious argument with Justin Bieber at the afterparty following the Oscars, hosted by Jay-Z and Beyoncé.
People familiar with the situation say Usher confronted Bieber with strong feelings at a party last week at the Chateau Marmont in Los Angeles. However, they emphasize that the disagreement didn’t turn violent.
According to TMZ, some sources say the meeting ended in a physical fight, but details about what actually happened remain unclear.
When Justin Bieber was just 13 and 14 years old, Usher and Scooter Braun helped launch his career. They signed him to their record label after successfully outbidding Justin Timberlake to work with him.
Both Justin Bieber, 32, and Usher, 47, started their careers with guidance from Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs, 56, who is now facing serious allegations.
Last May, Justin Bieber publicly refuted long-standing rumors that Sean “Diddy” Combs had abused him as a child. A representative for Bieber stated he was not one of Combs’ accusers.
After rumors spread about a disagreement between Justin Bieber and Usher at the Oscars afterparty, Da Brat shared on the Rickey Smiley Morning Show that she talked to Usher, who told her the reports were blown out of proportion.
The Daily Mail has contacted Usher and Bieber’s representatives for comment.
Da Brat told Smiley that he’s always been there for Justin Bieber through various challenges, and there’s a public record of his support over the years.
Justin is navigating his own life and the consequences of his choices. Usher supports him completely and there’s no bad blood between them – they care about each other very much, she explained.
People often misinterpret things they see and jump to conclusions, but that’s not what’s happening here. These individuals genuinely like and support each other; there’s a lot of affection between them.
Last week, rumors started circulating about the Oscars afterparty, and a source claimed Justin Bieber has a history of being disrespectful to Usher. This came alongside reports that Bieber is trying to distance himself from people he used to know.
Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce, along with Timothée Chalamet and Kylie Jenner, were among the many famous faces at Beyoncé and Jay-Z’s party.
The event drew a star-studded crowd, including Ryan Coogler, Michael B. Jordan, Jacob Elordi, Teyana Taylor, Vin Diesel, Sofia Vergara, Austin Butler, Emma Stone, Emma Watson, Jon Batiste, Chloe Bailey, and Vanessa and Natalia Bryant.
Hailey Bieber (formerly Baldwin) and her close friend, supermodel Kendall Jenner, were also invited to the event.
Despite many celebrities attending Beyoncé and Jay-Z’s party, no one has publicly said they saw a disagreement between Justin Bieber and Usher.
In 2007, at just 13 years old, Justin Bieber became an online sensation thanks to videos of him singing that he posted on YouTube. These videos caught the attention of Scooter Braun and Usher, who then helped launch his career.
The following year, they signed him and helped launch his career, even having him move to Atlanta with his mother to collaborate with Usher.
In a 2010 interview on the French radio show Le 6/9, Usher explained that he makes a conscious effort to be a supportive figure – like an older brother, mentor, and protector – to those around him.
Usher shared that he invited Justin Bieber to perform with him during the Super Bowl LVIII halftime show in Las Vegas, but Bieber declined the offer.
In a 2024 interview with The Breakfast Club, Usher explained that he believes his brother simply wants to share his own perspective on things, and he respects that.
The performer mentioned they had a quick chat and are planning to collaborate again later. They emphasized that there are no hard feelings between them.
Okay, so Usher totally let slip that Justin Bieber is going to perform at the Super Bowl eventually! He was talking about reaching out to other artists, and then just casually dropped that Bieber’s ‘gonna play the Super Bowl’ someday. He was so confident, he basically declared it! I’m already losing it just thinking about it – it’s happening, you guys, I know it is!
He’s earned this opportunity with his career, and while it hasn’t happened yet, it’s still possible in the future.
Usher revealed that he and Justin Timberlake both competed to sign Justin Bieber, describing it as a friendly competition.
Okay, so Usher basically said this to People magazine, and it totally melted my heart! He was like, ‘Look, I might not know exactly which producers would be the absolute perfect fit for his music, but I promise you this: I’m going to pour everything I have – my total dedication and passion – into making this the best it can be!’ Seriously, can he just be my everything?!
The last time Justin Bieber and Usher were photographed together was in 2021 at a Los Angeles Lakers game.
I’ve been following Scooter Braun’s career for years, and it’s been incredible to watch him become a leading figure in music management. He represents some of the biggest stars out there – Justin Bieber, of course, but also amazing artists like Ariana Grande and Demi Lovato. It’s a seriously impressive roster!
I was absolutely devastated when I heard he was retiring in June 2024! It all happened so fast – just one day after the news broke about him and Bieber no longer working together. It felt like the end of an era, honestly. I still can’t believe it!
Justin Bieber and his former manager, Scooter Braun, had a falling out that led to a significant financial dispute. According to TMZ sources, they reached a settlement last year where Bieber reportedly paid $26 million to cover costs from the cancellation of his 2022 Justice tour.
The agreement also supposedly required Bieber to cover half of the $11 million in commissions that Braun said he was still owed.
Following the serious accusations made against Diddy – which he strongly denies – people began to look more closely at past relationships Usher and Justin Bieber had with him.
Following a widely covered trial, Diddy was cleared of the most severe accusations against him – sex trafficking and racketeering – last July. However, he was convicted on two less serious charges related to transporting people for the purpose of prostitution.
Amidst the growing scandal, a previously unseen video appeared showing him with a young Justin Bieber, then 15 years old, talking about plans to spend ’48 hours’ together.
Diddy said he’s spending 48 hours with someone, but he’s keeping the details of their activities private. He described it as something a fifteen-year-old would absolutely love.
I’m looking after him now – he’s signed with Usher, and actually, I used to be the legal guardian for Usher himself when he was starting out with his first album. While I don’t have legal guardianship this time, he’s with me for the next couple of days, and we’re planning to have some serious fun!
Justin Bieber, standing beside Diddy in the video, mostly just offered brief and unenthusiastic responses like ‘Yeah’ and ‘Totally crazy.’
A newly discovered video shows Diddy questioning a 16-year-old Justin Bieber about why they hadn’t been in touch or spending time together like they used to.
Bieber seemed worried and explained that Diddy had attempted to reach out, but never managed to get his phone number. He then offered to share it.
Following the recent troubles of Diddy, fans grew worried about Justin Bieber, particularly after noticing he looked tired and unkempt.
Rumors were spreading so rapidly that Bieber had to issue a statement – through his representative – to confirm that Diddy had never sexually abused him.
The statement, given to TMZ, acknowledged that while Justin wasn’t affected by Sean Combs’ actions, others were genuinely harmed. It emphasized that minimizing this harm would be a disservice to the victims and their pursuit of justice.
When Usher was 15, his manager, L.A. Reid, arranged for him to live in Los Angeles for a year with Diddy. This period, often called ‘Puffy Flavor Camp,’ was designed to help Usher develop his skills and artistry.
Usher described the experience as chaotic and strange, admitting he didn’t fully grasp what was happening, during an appearance on The Howard Stern Show in 2016.
Let me tell you, as someone who’s thought a lot about kids and summer activities, I was recently asked if I would send my own children to ‘Puffy Flavor Camp.’ My answer? Absolutely not! It’s just not something I’d ever consider for my kids, and I was pretty firm about that.
