Bieber’s Response to Diddy Rumors

His team has firmly denied any allegations that Bieber was a victim of P Diddy’s wrongdoing, stressing he was not involved .

Bieber himself has expressed being “disgusted” and wanting to distance himself from the controversy, focusing instead on his family and well-being .

His Mental Health & Personal Focus

Over the past year, Bieber has stepped more into a private, family-first approach—marrying Hailey and becoming a father has deepened his priorities .
Media reports suggest he’s been stressed and isolating, but this stems from the pressures tied to the scandal—not retirement.

Sources often note he’s in therapy and working through trust issues, but his career hasn’t been abandoned .

Career Status

According to your own timeline: Bieber was actively releasing music in 2025, including the album Swag and performances—including a guest feature on Diddy’s 2023 record—long after the rumoured scandal .
There’s no reliable report from mainstream entertainment outlets that he’s officially quitting music.

Bottom Line

In short, Justin Bieber is navigating a private and personal response to his ties with Diddy—and while this may mean he’s pacing himself or withdrawing temporarily—there’s zero indication of retirement. The rumor about him “giving up his career” is just sensational fiction.
