“This is the calm before the storm,” said Justin Bieber’s father-in-law Stephen Baldwin on a cryptic TikTok video pointing to the former’s close relationship with Sean “Diddy” Combs.

The message comes after videos of Diddy partying and spending time with a 15-year-old Bieber resurfaced online following the rapper’s arrest on sex-trafficking charges.

“And in that calm comes a preparation… for the next storm,” Baldwin said to end his clip, where he appears wearing a 1974 People Magazine hat and a white shirt, causing more than 1,200 followers to feverishly speculate on the true meaning of it all.

“I think he’s saying somethings getting ready to come out in People Magazine because of the hat?” theorized one user, believing the video serves as a preview to a soon-to-come article where Justin Bieber will expose further details on Diddy’s misdemeanors and, perhaps, those of other celebrities implicated in the scandal.

Sean Combs has been put behind bars Metropolitan Detention Center in Brooklyn as he awaits his next trial scheduled for October 9, 2024. Authorities recently said that the rapper was placed on “suicide watch,” and that they are taking preventative measures to ensure he’s able to face justice.

Prosecutors allege that Diddy created and ran a “criminal enterprise” through his business empire that also engaged in crimes such as arson, bribery, obstruction of justice, and even forced labor.

“Physical abuse by the defendant was recurrent and widely known. On numerous occasions from at least in or about 2009 and continuing for years, [he] assaulted women by, among other things, striking, punching, and dragging,” the document read.

Combs’ recent indictment detailed his involvement in the orchestration of what he called “Freak Offs,” where he lured women and male sex workers into drug-fueled, multi-day sexual escapades. During the raid, authorities discovered lubricant, baby oil, and firearms.

Fellow rapper 50 Cent, who’s currently producing an upcoming docuseries centered around Diddy’s crimes, said that other widely known celebrities were complicit and are currently hiding.

“Some of them were involved, at the parties and enjoyed themselves, so they don’t know what the f–k is on tape or what’s not on tape, so they’re not going to say anything because they might have had too much fun,” he explained.

Aside from videos and pictures where Bieber and Combs are seen in parties together, compilations of the singer being sexually harassed as a minor by other celebrities have also caught the attention of netizens.

Videos such as one where he is hit on by comedian James Corden, who stared into his eyes at an awards ceremony and told him he “smelled really good,” to another where Katy Perry grabs his butt tightly as a teenager, have all been getting shared recently by netizens on X and TikTok.

Another clip that gained renewed traction was that of Actress and Model Jenny McCarthy, who forcibly grabbed Bieber and gave him numerous kisses on the neck unsolicited at the 2012 American Music Awards, causing the young singer to recoil and say that he felt he was “violated.”

The videos are usually found in conjunction with a 2020 interview where Justin sobs while stating he wants to protect fellow popstar Billie Eilish.

“I don’t want her to lose it…” he said, with many believing he was referring to her innocence. “I don’t want her to go through what I’ve been through. I don’t wish that upon anybody.”

Diddy and Justin appeared on a video together when the latter was 15 years old. In the clip, the rapper says that he didn’t have “legal guardianship of him but for the next 48 hours he’s with me and we’re gonna go full crazy.”

Netizens now believe the singer might have the necessary information to further bury Sean Combs and others complicit in his illicit activities, with Baldwin’s video being the first preview of what’s to come.
