Claim:

Justin Bieber will release a new song in 2024 that includes the line “Lost myself at a Diddy party” in reference to rapper and producer Sean “Diddy” Combs.

Evaluation:

In April 2024, rumors began circulating on social media platforms such as TikTok and YouTube that Justin Bieber would release a new song with the lyrics “Lost myself at a Diddy party” about rapper and producer Sean “Diddy” Combs. The posts included audio recordings that allegedly featured Bieber singing.

The song’s lyrics recount an experience at a party hosted by Diddy and express Bieber’s disillusionment with fame and fortune. The opening verse contains the following lyrics:

However, there was no concrete evidence of the existence of this song, including no official confirmation from credible sources or news outlets. Many online commentators labeled it as a song generated by artificial intelligence.

Snopes has reached out to Bieber’s management and record labels for comment but did not receive an immediate response. We will update this story if they respond.

Bieber was discovered by talent manager Scooter Braun at the age of 13 and was quickly taken under the wing of R&B singer Usher. Bieber’s relationship with Diddy began when the young star was reportedly 15 years old. Diddy acted as his mentor and the two spent time together in the recording studio. Diddy surprised his fans by including Bieber on his 2023 studio album, The Love Album: Off the Grid, with Bieber appearing as a guest vocalist on the track “Moments.”

In late 2023 and early 2024, Diddy faced a series of controversies that resulted in several lawsuits. On March 25, 2024, federal agents and other law enforcement officials raided two of his properties, reportedly as part of a sex trafficking investigation.

Bieber’s recent history

In recent years, Bieber has struggled with health challenges, including a diagnosis of temporary facial paralysis due to Ramsay Hunt syndrome in June 2022, which led to the postponement and eventual cancellation of his Justice World Tour in September 2022.

According to TMZ, Bieber was offered the headlining slot at the Coachella Festival in 2023, but he turned it down to focus on recording his seventh studio album, which is reportedly According to media reports, there will be collaborations with artists such as Ed Sheeran. At the time of writing, no official release date for this album has been announced.

Following the release of his sixth studio album, Justice, in March 2021, Bieber’s only announcement regarding new music on his official website was his song with rapper Don Toliver, “Holiday,” which was released in April 2022.

Bieber interviewed his wife, model and Rhode Skin founder Hailey Bieber, for Vogue Australia in February 2023. Hailey hinted at her husband’s upcoming new music, saying, “The new song you just recorded, I can’t stop listening to right now. Nobody knows what that is yet.” However, further details about the new songs were not revealed.

While speculation continues to circulate on social media about an alleged new Bieber song with the lyrics “Lost myself at a Diddy party,” the lack of an announcement or confirmation of the release date on his official website or social media leads us to classify this claim as “unproven.” Until Bieber or his representatives clarify the matter, the authenticity of the alleged song remains questionable.
