In a candid and emotional 2020 interview with Zane Lowe, resurfaced recently, Justin Bieber opened up about his past traumas in the music industry, his album “Changes,” and his life as a newlywed with wife Hailey Bieber. The interview has gained fresh attention amidst Diddy’s recent legal dramas, although Justin did not directly address the disgraced media mogul.

Reflecting on Past Traumas

Justin began by sharing the challenges he faced growing up in the industry. “It was hard for me being that young and being in the industry and not knowing where to turn,” he confessed. He revealed that the constant affirmation from people around him felt disingenuous, saying, “Everyone’s telling me they love me, and then they just turn their back on you in a second.”

The resurfaced interview comes on the heels of throwback footage of Diddy and a teenage Justin circulating on social media. Speculations arose about whether Diddy subjected the young pop star to his alleged “freak-offs” — notorious parties allegedly planned and controlled by Diddy, often electronically recorded, and lasting days at a time. However, Justin did not comment on these allegations directly.

Tears for Billie Eilish

One of the most poignant moments of the interview was when Justin broke down in tears discussing his desire to protect Billie Eilish, who was rapidly rising to superstardom at the time. “I just wanted to be a good example,” he said, his voice filled with emotion. “I don’t want her to go through anything I went through. I don’t wish that upon anybody.”

Focusing on Family

When asked about his thoughts on Diddy’s allegations, a source told ET that Justin is not focused on the drama. Instead, he and Hailey are absorbed in their own happiness and family life, appreciating this time together, especially with their baby Jack, whom they welcomed in August.

Building a family with Hailey was already on Justin’s mind during his chat with Zane. He shared his excitement about having babies and celebrating the blessings they’ve been given. “There’s so much pain in the world, and we don’t understand why,” he reflected. “But the reality is, we are blessed.”

His emotional journey from a teenage pop star to a mature, family-oriented man offers a message of hope and resilience. Despite the traumas he faced, Justin has found solace and happiness in his music and his family.

As fans continue to support Justin, his story encourages others to seek help when needed and to focus on the blessings in their lives. The resurfaced interview is not just a glimpse into Justin’s past but also a testament to his growth and healing.
