Several posts about disgraced music mogul Sean “Diddy” Combs mysteriously disappeared from the X account of singer Usher last week.
The posts were conveniently deleted shortly after Diddy’s arrest on sex trafficking charges.
Several of Usher’s eagle-eyed fans noticed that the posts about his old friend Diddy had suddenly vanished.
Many noted that the deletion of the posts correlated with Diddy’s arrest and emerging allegations of shocking sex crimes.
However, the singer tried to downplay the vanishing posts by claiming he “got hacked.”
Rumors had already been spreading on social media about Usher being somehow connected to Diddy‘s sex trafficking and racketeering case.
The sudden disappearance of the star’s social media posts added more fule to the fire regarding the matter.
Usher attempted to silence the chatter by returning to the social media platform to set the record straight.
“Account got hacked and damn y’all ran with it! :=)))) Usher wrote.
“See you tonight at Intuit Dome.”
Instead, he attempted to use the focus to promote his “Past Present Future Tour.”
However, some X users refused to be caught up in the apparent deflection.
Many continued commenting on the situation online.
Usher’s account appears to be restored at the time of writing, Heavy noted.
There’s no other evidence of any hacking and the posts about Diddy have not been restored.
Account got hacked and damn y’all ran with it! 😂😂😂 See you tonight at Intuit Dome ✌🏾👀✌🏾

Usher didn’t explain why the “hackers” would only delete posts about a disgraced sex criminal, however, or why they would even go to the effort.
Diddy and Usher have known one another for 30 years since Usher was a young talent who had just emerged on the scene.
The Bad Boy mogul took Usher under his wing when he was just a teenager.
This relationship is something that many fans and critics are now questioning in light of the allegations made against Diddy, particularly those relating to underage and young victims.
A 2016 interview with Howard Stern has since resurfaced that is raing concerns.
Usher previously spoke out about the “pretty curious things” he saw at Diddy’s “Flavor Camp,” during the interview.
“I moved to New York City and I lived with Sean ‘Puffy’ Combs for a year … In the ‘90s!” Usher said.
“Do you understand what that’s like?!”
“I went there to see the lifestyle. 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.”
Stern replied by saying, “You’re a dad now.
“Would you ever send your kid to a Puffy camp?”
“Hell no!” Usher bluntly replied.
Usher isn’t the only star that “lost” big chunks of social media content, according to claims online.
Accounts have also accused leftist singer Pink of deleting posts on X.
