Fans of pop star Justin Bieber are speculating that his 2020 music video for "Yummy" contains subtle references to Sean "Diddy" Combs’ notorious parties, following Diddy's recent arrest on charges of sex trafficking and racketeering. The theory gained traction on TikTok, with users analyzing the video’s surreal imagery and symbolic themes. TikTok user  pointed out that Bieber's arrival at a party "full of elites" and the presence of children playing instruments might allude to Diddy's controversial events.

The video features an elaborate meal, including a sandwich with symbolic imagery, which some fans interpreted as representing Bieber’s loss of innocence during his early career under Diddy’s influence. “The bread is set up to protect the cherry,” the user said, suggesting the cherry symbolizes Bieber’s innocence. The comparison extends to Diddy's infamous "white parties," where guests were fed fruit, a motif echoed in the video.

Bieber’s relationship with Diddy has resurfaced in light of the rapper’s arrest. An insider told DailyMail.com that Bieber is "completely thrown" by the allegations against Diddy, expressing regret over their recent collaboration. Diddy, 54, is accused of coercing victims into drug-fueled sexual performances known as "Freak Offs," with prosecutors interviewing over 50 victims.
