Other than being famous and talented singers in their own right, Justin Bieber and Jaden Smith share something else, and that’s trauma. Apparently, they’ve both been victims of crazy things, with Diddy and Will Smith being at the center of it all.
This was what led them to build the friendship that they have right now. Without wasting any time, let’s get into the truth behind Jaden and Justin’s friendship.
According to The Things, Justin and Jaden first met in the early 2010s for their “Never Say Never” collaboration. The song was used in Jaden’s movie “Karate Kid.” It was a huge hit, peaking in the top 10 of many charts, and played a major role in the success of the movie.
Even though their meeting was simply for collaboration purposes, Justin and Jaden ended up staying in touch with each other. Over time, they built a really strong friendship. It’s so strong that both their orientations have been questioned because of it.
The most recent questioning came at Coachella this year. In a video of them, Justin and Jaden were seen cozying up to each other after Jaden had surprised Justin with a hug from behind. Justin responded to Jaden’s surprise hug by kissing him on the cheek.
Justin and Jaden’s interaction raised a lot of eyebrows, even though Justin is happily married to Hailey Bieber and they’re currently expecting their first child together. Apparently, they both looked too comfortable with each other. To top it all off, they didn’t know that they were secretly being recorded.
Now, weeks after this happened, Justin was asked to shed some light on what occurred between him and Jaden. As you can expect, he didn’t make a single comment.
Justin Looked Up to Diddy
Now, there have been a lot of theories going around about why Justin and Jaden have always avoided talking about the depth of their friendship. One theory is that it’s because it didn’t start on the happiest terms, even though, for the most part, we’ve all been made to believe that it did. Allegedly, the real reason Justin and Jaden are so close today is because of the shared trauma they have from Diddy.
It’s no secret that Diddy isn’t exactly the perfect celebrity he’s tried to make himself out to be. In the last couple of months, a lot of crazy things about what really goes on in his life have been revealed.
I’m talking about SA, trafficking, and all sorts of crazy stuff. Allegedly, Justin and Jaden were victims of this, too.
As an up-and-coming teen pop star in the late 2000s and early 2010s, Justin made it pretty clear that the one celebrity he wanted to collaborate with pretty badly was Diddy. No one could fault him for that.
Back then, Diddy was one of the biggest stars on the entertainment scene. Pretty much everybody who was anybody wanted to share the spotlight with him. Justin was no exception.
What he didn’t know was that sharing a spotlight with Diddy would come at a price he wouldn’t want to pay. Supposedly, Diddy did more than just mentor Justin, if you know what I mean.
