Singer Pink recently addressed the rumors surrounding her decision to delete her social media posts, following speculation that it was linked to the recent arrest of music mogul Sean “Diddy” Combs. On September 25, Pink took to Instagram to explain why she wiped her X (formerly known as Twitter) account, clarifying that her decision was unrelated to the ongoing controversy surrounding Combs.
In her post, Pink shared a screenshot of a tweet she posted months earlier, which read, “This account will self-destruct in two minutes.” She went on to explain in the caption, “I don’t know why I became a headline this week, but I wiped my Twitter account on February 6!!” Pink emphasized that her social media wipe had nothing to do with recent events, adding, “There is no truth to the rumors spread this week, and while I’ve met people in passing, I’m not associated with any of the people mentioned.”
The timing of Pink’s social media deletion fueled speculation, with some fans assuming she might have been attempting to distance herself from Combs following his arrest on September 16. Combs faces serious charges, including sex trafficking, racketeering, and transporting for prostitution. However, Pink’s post sought to dispel these rumors, making it clear that her actions were unrelated to the controversy.
The singer’s explanation comes after she made headlines earlier in the week, with fans speculating whether her social media wipe was an effort to cover up any connection to Combs. Despite the rumors, Pink remained firm in her stance, clarifying that the timing of her account deletion had no connection to the recent allegations against the music producer.
Pink is not the only celebrity who recently wiped their social media accounts. Usher, another well-known artist, also took to X earlier this week, revealing plans to delete his account after claiming it had been hacked. Usher shared with his followers, “Account got hacked and all ran with it! See you tonight at Intuit Dome.”
While Pink’s decision to clear her social media presence sparked speculation, her direct response aimed to put any rumors to rest. As for Sean “Diddy” Combs, his arrest in New York City has drawn widespread attention, and the charges he faces continue to unfold in the public eye.
Pink’s message serves as a reminder that not every celebrity action is tied to high-profile scandals. As she moves forward, the singer made it clear that her decision to wipe her account months ago was personal and had no bearing on the recent headlines involving others.
