Usher claims the deletion of his X account in the wake of Sean "Diddy" Combs' sex crimes was caused by a hacker, RadarOnline.com can reveal.
The singer, whose relationship with the disgraced rapper spans decades, broke his silence on Sunday when his account was reactivated, telling followers: "Account got hacked and damn y’all ran with it! See you tonight at Intuit Dome."
Usher lived with Diddy as a teenager.
But his fans have their doubts surrounding Usher's claims, believing the deletion was far too "coincidental".
One user wrote: "You must really think we are stupid", while another added, "What?? Lol, timing is JUST a coincidence huh?"
A third said to the Yeah! singer: "Sure bro sure," while a fourth quizzed: "Did your account really got hacked or you're not telling us something?"
Many of Usher's fans did not belief his reasons for X deletion.
However, Usher, 45, received support from some followers.
One wrote: "I been tweeted this EVERYWHERE that your acct was hacked and these ppl spreading fake news, GO OFF KING!"
Diddy, 54, was an executive on Usher's self-titled debut album and he lived with the rapper as a teenager in the 1990s.
Diddy organised "Freak Offs" at his infamous parties.
Speaking about what it was like sharing a house with Diddy, Usher told Rolling Stone in 2004: "Sex is so hot in the industry, man. There was always girls around.
"You'd open a door and see somebody doing it, or several people in a room having an orgy. You never knew what was going to happen."
Usher has previously discussed being present at Diddy's gatherings.
A decade later while appearing as a guest on The Howard Stern Show, the star was quizzed over whether Diddy's home was "filled with chicks and orgying nonstop".
Usher replied: "It was pretty wild. It was crazy. There were very curious things taking place and I didn't necessarily understand it."
When asked if he would allow his own kids to experience living with the rapper, he said: "Hell no!"
Usher had not been directly accused of any criminal conduct in the case against Diddy.
However, in a lawsuit filed by Dawn Richard, Usher was accused of having been present (along with Ne-Yo) while Diddy was exerting physical abuse against his ex-girlfriend Casandra "Cassie" Ventura.
