*Justin Bieber has come under fire after using Sean “Diddy” Combs’ tribute to Kim Porter to promote his clothing line.
Porter, who dated Combs on and off for 13 years, passed away on Nov. 15 at the age of 47. The model/actress, who was the mother of three of Diddy’s children, reportedly died from lobar pneumonia.
Over the weekend, Diddy took to social media to post a throwback photo of him and Kim from the set of his “Can’t Nobody Hold Me Down” video in 1997.
“I remember Kim flying to see me on the set of can’t nobody hold me down,” Combs wrote on Instagram alongside the photo (see the post below). “She took like a 12 hour flight to LA and 3 hour ride to the desert. With no complaints. Was always ride or die. From day 1!”
“I called her BONNIE AND I WAS CLYDE!” he continued. “This picture will go down in history as the first time I said she was MINE!!!! AND THE FIRST TIME I TOLD HER I LOVE HER, little did I know I was hers. Miss you BONNIE ❤️ and will forever. Maaaaan life is beautiful to have had these experiences. Love you baby.”

The following day, Bieber decided to hijack Diddy’s post by sharing it on his Instagram to promote his clothing line, Drew House.
The 25-year-old pop star captioned the post, “@drewhouse #diddyfordrewhouse @diddy KP YOU WILL ALWAYS BE REMEMBERED FOR THE STUNNING WOMAN YOU WERE INSIDE AND OUT..”
As reported by E! Online, many social media users called for the former YouTube singer to delete the post, with one writing, “delete this sir he shared this picture in memory of his wife not for promo for the clothing line.”
But Bieber replied, “ur wrong. God knows my heart, I know them and their family don’t tell me I’m being disrespectful I have all the respect for both them.”
He continued, “I didn’t realize it was a photo of him mourning KP but I totally respect that but I also respect how sick of a photo that is! “It’s allay to appreciate art photographs are art and he happens to be wearing an identical outfit of my clothing line and I thought that was really cool.”
Days later, Us Weekly notes that Bieber came under fire again when he posted a April Fools’ Day joke saying his wife, Hailey Baldwin is pregnant. He even shared a fake sonogram.
“Is anyone else upset about this? I’ve always been a JB fan, but children are not jokes… losing a child, is NOT a joke. Educate yourself and grow up,” one fan responded to the controversial post.
