The reason behind Justin Bieber's crying post a few days ago is still unknown. His wife, Hailey, commented on the photo by calling him a "pretty crier," to the shock of some fans.  However, her comment does not give away the reason either. 

The immediate theory was that Bieber must be struggling with his marriage to Hailey, but there were also reports that he could only truly depend on his wife amid all his struggles, which means there must be no trouble in their union.

So, another theory emerged

Fans of Justin Bieber are now expressing fears that the singer's social media breakdown is related to his association with troubled US rapper Sean "Diddy" Combs during his formative years, as reported by Daily Mail UK. 

The 30-year-old musician caused a stir on Instagram over the weekend when he shared several photographs in which he appeared to cry. 

In one, the singer seemed completely hopeless as he looked directly into the camera, a tear streaming down his cheek.

Some fans now believe Bieber's fragile emotional state may have been exacerbated by reminders of his association with hip-hop mogul Combs.

The US Federal Bureau is presently looking into Combs, 54, for possible sex trafficking.

A video showing Combs hanging out with a 15-year-old Bieber resurfaced last month, after the rapper's residences were searched as part of the inquiry.

The 14-year-old video from YouTube, which shows Diddy talking about spending "48 hours" with the "Baby" singer, was quickly labeled as creepy and bothering. 

In the "scary" video, which dates back to when Combs was 39 and Bieber was 15, Diddy was telling the camera that the two would be spending 2 whole days together at his home in Los Angeles, but he won't say exactly what they will be doing.

If one looks at it from an innocent perspective, they would only see Combs talking to Bieber about driving. "As soon as you turn 16, you know what I'm saying, I'm going to let you rock this every time you come in LA," Combs told Bieber while showing him a Lamborghini under a tarpaulin.

He then said to the camera, "You ever see the movie 48 Hours? Right now, he's having 48 hours with Diddy, him and his boy, they're having the times of their lives."
