'Y'all ran with it!': Usher addresses missing tweets following rumours of posts being deleted in connection to Diddy arrest
R’n’B singer Usher has addressed missing posts from his X (formerly Twitter) profile following rumours that he deleted them in connection with the Diddy arrest.
Fans spotted that thousands of posts were missing from the singer’s profile on Sunday, September 22. Some jumped to the conclusion that Usher had mass-deleted his posts following the arrest of music mogul Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs last week.
However, despite rumours spreading like wildfire on social media, Usher has now confirmed that the missing posts on his X page are not in connection with the arrest. He told fans: “Account got hacked and damn y’all ran with it!”
His posts returned to the platform at the same time he posted the update. Usher, who is currently on tour, added: “See you tonight at Intuit Dome.”
Usher is currently on the road in the US with his ‘The Usher: Past, Present, Future’ tour. Alongside his gig at Los Angeles’ Intuit Dome, he is set to perform Texas, Florida and other states.
The music world was rocked last week after Combs, 54, was hit with with federal sex trafficking and racketeering charges following an extensive investigation. Usher, whose real name is Usher Raymond IV, worked with Combs from early in his career, with the rapper executive-producing Usher’s debut album in 1994.
The unsealed indictment included allegations of Combs hosting so-called ‘freak-offs’ featuring coerced and drugged victims performing sex acts, with some alleged sessions said to take place over multiple days. Combs and his legal team have denied all allegations.
