Usher sent fans into a frenzy over the weekend when he mysteriously deleted his entire X account (formerly Twitter). Shortly after, Pink and Megan Fox also cleaned out their digital spaces. The timing of their digital detox, shortly after music mogul Sean “Diddy” Combs’ arrest on sex trafficking and organized crime charges, has sparked a flurry of speculation and intrigue among fans and the public.
While speculation quickly mounted as to whether Usher would distance himself from the drama, the R&B star denied the rumors by saying that his account had been “hacked.” But apparently not everyone is convinced.
Usher claims his account was hacked after tweets disappeared
During this difficult time, when several well-known celebrities who were once regulars at Diddy’s extravagant “white parties” and part of his inner circle are being called out to speak out against his alleged misdeeds, Usher, who was under Diddy’s wing since a young age, has sparked speculation with his sudden disappearance from social media. For those unaware, Usher was not named in any of Diddy’s crimes.
As Twitter began to link the move to the now-disgraced rapper, who was imprisoned behind bars in Brooklyn, the “Hey Daddy” crooner wrote on his social media, “The account was hacked and damn y’all got away with it!” The singer continued, “See you tonight at the Intuit Dome.”

“He’s looking for excuses guys… we know this was intentional,” commented one social media user. “Usher deleted his entire Twitter history and destroyed over 7,000 of his old tweets,” added another.
Although Usher has not been charged with anything, he and Ne-Yo were named as witnesses who saw Diddy physically attack his then-girlfriend Cassie Ventura. The artist’s history with the music mogul dates back to 1994, when Usher was just 13 or 14 years old.
P!nk deletes all her Twitter posts after Usher
Shortly after Usher’s account was deleted, which he said was due to a hacker attack, singer P!nk also deleted almost all of her posts on X (formerly Twitter), leaving only two retweets from 2016 and 2017. Like Usher, P!nk has not been implicated in Diddy’s case and there is no known connection between her and the rapper.
However, fans speculated that her decision to delete her tweets could be related to Diddy’s recent arrest, as the entire music industry is currently seething with tension. However, many pointed out that she had already deleted most of her posts months before the incidents involving Diddy.

Diddy, who has been in the business since the 1990s, is notorious for hosting what are now known as “freak-off” parties. These infamous gatherings of Hollywood stars reportedly lasted several days. During his recent trial, prosecutors alleged that he used force and threats to coerce women into drug-fueled orgies with male companions.
Megan Fox follows suit
To add fuel to the fire, Megan Fox has now deleted her Instagram account and Twitter feed, sparking the same rumors that were circulating about Usher and P!nk. The internet is awash with theories, and some fans are convinced that Diddy’s Hollywood ties will run even deeper if he can date J.Lo. (Interestingly, J.Lo hasn’t deleted anything.)
Fox, known for her stunning confession that she “ritualistically” drank “drops” of blood with her ex-lover Machine Gun Kelly, became the target of online sleuths. One user chimed in: “No surprise @meganfox is dating @Diddy. Another crazy person pushing her crazy ideologies on her sons.” Another comment read: “Megan Fox is the latest to join the brigade of social media erasures.”
When Usher claimed to have seen “wild things” at Diddy’s house
In a 2004 interview, Usher recalled a moment when he was just 13 and living with Diddy, describing how he experienced “very strange things” during his time at the music mogul’s house.
“I had the opportunity to see some things… I don’t know if I even understood what I was seeing,” he told the Howard Stern Show. “I was curious. I just didn’t understand it. It was pretty wild. It was crazy.”
