An AI-generated Justin Bieber song with lyrics referencing Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs begins circulating on social media, fooling many listeners into believing its authenticity.
Back in April, a new AI-generated song emerged, made to sound like Justin Bieber, and began circulating on social media. At first, the song, which features lyrics referencing Sean “Diddy” Combs, tricked many listeners into believing it was an authentic Justin Bieber release.
With lyrics like “Lost myself at a Diddy party / Didn’t know that’s how it goes / I was in it for a new Ferrari / But it cost me way more than my soul,” the song’s release coincided with the legal troubles mounting against Combs, who is now in federal custody for racketeering and sex trafficking offenses. This certainly contributed to the song’s viral spread and highlights the potential for AI to spread misinformation at a break-neck pace.
The song was identified conclusively as a deepfake, but that hasn’t curbed its wide circulation. It’s been used heavily as a background track in thousands of TikTok videos, and it first emerged at a time when speculation was ripe over the ever-growing mountain of charges against Diddy.
To make matters even more confusing for fans, the 30-year-old Bieber developed a close relationship with Combs early in his career. The two even collaborated as recently as 2023 on the track, “Moments.” Old clips of a then-teenaged Bieber spending time with Combs have also resurfaced, and Justin Bieber has yet to publicly comment on any of the allegations against the 54-year-old rapper and producer.
Combs was arrested last week and charged with sex trafficking, racketeering, and transportation to engage in prostitution. The latest lawsuit against him was filed yesterday (September 24), accusing him and his bodyguard of “viciously” raping a woman in a New York City recording studio over 20 years ago.
