Canadian singer Justin Bieber is reportedly having a tough time amid reports of rapper Sean Diddy's criminal allegations. Diddy has been accused of sexual abuse, and charged with trafficking and racketeering.

“Justin is in a hard place mentally right now. He has such a history with Diddy and the allegations against him have been hard to process,” a source told US Weekly.

Another source claimed that Bieber has been advised to steer away from Diddy and his circle, and that he is "completely disgusted" by Combs' scandal.

The US media also reported that the Peaches singer has been trying to keep his head down and focus on his personal life instead, like taking care of his son Jack with wife Hailey Bieber.

"His happiness being a dad has outweighed his anxiety about Diddy. It’s in his past, and that’s where he wants to leave it,” another source claimed.

Meanwhile, Diddy is currently in jail and his bail plea has been rejected. Diddy's mother spoke to the media recently and claimed that her son was innocent, “My son is not the monster they have painted him to be, and he deserves the chance to tell his side. I can only pray that I am alive to see him speak his truth and be vindicated.”
