Pink addresses Diddy conspiracy theory

Pink has taken to social media to address bizarre rumours that emerged on social media after fans spotted she had deleted all of her tweets.

Pink has broken her silence after rumours started to swirl around the erasure of her entire Twitter feed.

Fans were puzzled after singer Usher deleted all of his tweets just days after Sean “Diddy” Combs was arrested and charged with sex trafficking.

And eagle-eyed social media user noticed the same thing has happened to fellow singer Pink’s X account. The star’s account now shows just two tweets, both of which are retweets from more than five years ago.

Despite the lack of a direct connection between Pink and Combs, her decision to remove her sparked speculation among fans

Alluding to the rumours, Pink said in a statement: “I don’t know why I became a headline this week, but I wiped my Twitter account on February 6!!! There is no truth to the rumours spread this week, and while I’ve met people in passing, I’m not associated with any of the people mentioned.”

Usher has yet to reveal the reasons behind his sudden act.

Fans questioned why the R&B singer, 45, expunged his profile, especially while he’s in the middle of his highly anticipated Past, Present, Future tour.

“Nobody on Usher’s team said ‘deleting 7K posts is going to look crazy as hell given the circumstances,’” asked one user.

“Whoa. Apparently @Usher has deleted his entire Twitter /@X history Why would someone high profile do that?” added another.

“Usher scrapping his entire Twitter history says everything we need to know,” said a third fan.

Though Usher has not been accused of any crimes, he and Ne-Yo were mentioned as witnesses to Combs’ physical abuse of singer Casandra “Cassie” Ventura in Dawn Richard’s lawsuit against the rap mogul.

In a 2016 interview on The Howard Stern Show, Usher said there were some “very curious things taking place” that he didn’t quite understand. “I got a chance to see some things. I went there to see the lifestyle, and I saw it. I don’t know if I could indulge and understand what I was even looking at,” he said.

“I had curiosity of my own. I just didn’t understand it. It was pretty wild. It was crazy.” Usher has stayed mum about his pal Combs’ recent legal trouble, which started in November 2023 when the latter’s ex-girlfriend Ventura, 38, filed a lawsuit against him, accusing him of rape and abuse during their 10-year relationship.

Last week, Diddy, 54, was indicted on three counts: racketeering conspiracy; sex trafficking by force, fraud or coercion; and transportation to engage in prostitution. He pleaded not guilty.
