Internet reacts to Usher deleting over 7,100 posts on X: 'You must really think we are stupid'

Amid Diddy's arrest, Usher claims his X account was hacked, sparking skepticism and disbelief among fans online.

The online community erupted in suspicion this Sunday after Usher's complete X/Twitter profile was temporarily wiped clean, closely following the arrest of his mentor, Sean 'Diddy' Combs, on serious federal charges including sex trafficking and racketeering. 

The deletion sparked immediate speculation among fans, coinciding ominously with Diddy's legal troubles.

Usher, the acclaimed eight-time Grammy winner, responded to the rumors with a casual dismissal, attributing the disappearance to a security breach. 

"Account got hacked and damn y’all ran with it! See you tonight at Intuit Dome," the singer posted, attempting to quell the rising tide of doubt among his followers.

However, the timing of the incident did not sit well with many. Fans flooded his post with skeptical comments. 

"You must really think we are stupid," one user expressed, encapsulating the prevailing disbelief. 

Others chimed in with similar sentiments, questioning the coincidence of the account's temporary disappearance. "What?? Lol, timing is JUST a coincidence huh?" another added skeptically.

The discourse continued with various users suggesting the hacking claim was too convenient. "Sure bro sure," and "That account wasn’t hacked baby," were among the responses that highlighted the community's suspicion.

Some even theorized that the deletion could be a sign of impending issues for Usher, linked somehow to the fallout from Diddy's arrest.

Despite the controversy, Usher has not been directly implicated in any criminal activities in the ongoing case against Combs. 

He was, however, named in a lawsuit by Dawn Richard as being present during alleged physical abuses by Combs against ex-girlfriend Casandra 'Cassie' Ventura, along with singer Ne-Yo.

Usher's long-standing connection with Diddy dates back to his early career in the 1990s, a relationship that exposed him to various industry experiences. 

In past interviews, Usher has candidly spoken about witnessing wild and questionable activities at Diddy’s residence. 

"I got a chance to see some things," Usher recounted about his formative years living with Diddy. "It was pretty wild. It was crazy."

Amidst the current controversy, Usher continues his 'Past Present Future' tour, with upcoming dates across North America and Europe, promising a dynamic continuation of his celebrated performances.
