Justin Bieber trying to ‘protect’ Billie Eilish from the ‘dark’ music industry resurfaces amid Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs fiasco. Justin Bieber shared his struggles in a 2020 interview, expressing a wish to shield Billie Eilish from the music industry at a very young age.
Justin Bieber’s concern to protect Billie Eilish from the music industry has resurfaced in light of Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs’ recent arrest on sex trafficking and racketeering charges.
Bieber spoke about Eilish during a 2020 interview with Apple Music’s Zane Lowe, “I just want to protect her. I don’t want her to go through anything I went through. I don’t wish that upon anybody.”

The ‘Sorry’ singer became tearful within a few minutes of the interview as he recounted the pressures and the hardships he faced after becoming an overnight sensation at the young age of 14 years old. Bieber shared that his experience was hard for me being that young and being in the industry and not knowing where to turn, and everyone telling me they loved me, and turning their back on you in a second.
Bieber opens up about the dark past and offers support to Billie Eilish. Like Bieber, Eilish herself shot a breakthrough to superstardom with her debut album, When We All Fall Asleep, Where Do We Go?, hit No. 1 in the U.S., producing multiple hit singles. Bieber, who had endured his struggles in the public eye, shared, “It was bad… it was dark.”
“Think about how young I was and so impressionable and you have everybody telling me how awesome I am at all times.”
“If she ever needs me I’m gonna be here for her. I’m just a call away,” he added and also admitted that he had been “living in this shame” due to past mistakes, but hoped to serve as “a good example” for Eilish.
