According to Page Six, the 30-year-old Peaches hitmaker is struggling with his mental health as the hip-hop mogul faces criminal allegations of sexual assault, abuse, and sex trafficking.

Diddy was instrumental in Justin's sensational career and acted as a mentor to the Sorry singer.

But per an insider, Justin "is in a hard place mentally right now."

"He has such a history with Diddy, and the allegations against him have been hard to process," they continued.

But fans shouldn't expect the pop sensation to speak on the matter as another source tattled that Justin is "completely disgusted" the Bad Boys founder's scandal and has been "advised" to "stay as far away as possible."

The Baby artist will also probably avoid the limelight amid his new responsibilities as a first-time dad.

The Never Say Never hitmaker welcomed his son, Jack Blue Bieber, with his wife, Hailey, in August. Therefore, it's safe to assume that Justin's priorities remain with his family.
