Rihanna’s resurfaced tweet about a 16-year-old Justin Bieber sparks social media debate amidst the Diddy controversy.
A 2010 tweet by Rihanna about Justin Bieber has resurfaced, sparking debate on social media about the treatment of young celebrities. The tweet, which was posted when Rihanna was 22 and Bieber was 16, reads: “Justin Bieber just flashed me his abs in the middle of a restaurant! Wow! He actually had a lil 6 pack! Sexy, lol! #Beliebersplzdontkillme.”
The tweet was shared by users on X (formerly Twitter), prompting a discussion about other celebrities who have treated young Justin Bieber inappropriately. One user shared a video of American actress Jenny McCarthy kissing Bieber on the neck at the 40th American Music Awards in 2012, to which he responded with “Wow…I feel really violated right now.”
Other users shared their opinions on the matter, with one saying “Not Rihanna too…” and another quoting JuiceWorld, saying “Every day it’s something new.” Another user shared a video of Katy Perry touching Justin Bieber’s buttocks when he was allegedly 15 years old, adding to the discussion about the treatment of young celebrities.
Some users defended Rihanna, saying that she had rejected Justin Bieber’s advances three times in the past, as mentioned in a podcast. However, many users expressed discomfort with the tweet, saying it left a “sour taste” in their mouths due to Bieber’s age at the time.
The debate highlights the importance of appropriate behavior towards minors, especially in the entertainment industry. As one user noted, “All these celebrities have a lil Diddy in them,” referring to Diddy’s recent arrest over human trafficking and sexual relations with minors.
