Usher addressed the mysterious disappearance of his tweets after his friend and former mentor Sean “Diddy” Combs was arrested on sex-trafficking charges.
Over the weekend, almost all of the posts, media and answers from the “Yeah!” singer X Account (formerly Twitter) was deleted, which attracted the attention of fans.
But Usher, 45, claimed on Sunday that his account had been “hacked.”
He wrote in the tweet, “The account got hacked and you all ran away with it!”
“See you tonight at the Intuit Dome,” he said, referring to a sold-out show in Inglewood, California, during his Past, Present, Future tour.
As of Monday morning, it appears all of the posts have reappeared on Usher's ex's account.
Combs, 54, discovered Usher and helped make the “My Boo” singer a huge star. They lived together in New York in the '90s when Usher was a teenager.
Usher has yet to comment on Combs' recent arrest. The record executive was taken into custody in New York last week, with prosecutors alleging he took part in Sex trafficking and “freak off” parties. He was denied bail and is on suicide watch in a Brooklyn jail.
In a recent lawsuit filed by Danity Kane's Dawn Richard, Usher and Ne-Yo were accused of being witnesses to Combs' physical abuse of his ex-wife Cassie Ventura.
Ventura, who dated Combs from 2007 to 2018, filed a civil suit against the music legend last year, alleging he raped and abused her. Combs settled with Ventura a day later.
In May, a shocking surveillance video was leaked showing Combs beating Ventura in a hotel hallway in 2016. Combs then apologized for his actions in a video on Instagram, which has now been deleted.
After Combs’ homes in Los Angeles and Miami were raided by federal agents in March as part of an investigation into his alleged sex-trafficking business, an interview resurfaced in which Usher talked about his time living with Combs when he was 14.
Usher told Howard Stern 2016 interview He said he noticed “very strange things” happening at Combs' New York home.
“It was weird. It was crazy. Really weird things were happening, and I couldn't understand it,” Usher said.
He added: “I got the chance to see some things… I don't know if I'd be able to enjoy them or even understand what I was seeing.”
Usher also called Combs his “brother” in the interview.
In 2004, Usher told Rolling Stone When he lived with Combs “there were always girls around”.
“You'd open the door and see someone doing this or that, or there'd be several people in a room having group sex,” he said. “You never knew what was going to happen.”
