Pink broke her silence after she was rumored to have deleted her tweets in relation to Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs’ arrest.
In response to the ongoing speculation, the 45-year-old singer addressed why she really wiped her social media account on Wednesday evening.
She shared a screenshot of the original tweet she posted before she wiped her X account several months ago, which read: ‘This account will self-destruct in two minutes.’
This week, her social media wipeout made headlines again as fans speculated whether she was trying to cover up any trail or connection to Combs following the disgraced rapper’s arrest.
Following the rumors, Pink took to her Instagram to clear the air and wrote: ‘I don’t know why I became a headline this week, but I wiped my Twitter account on February 6!!!’

She continued: ‘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.’
This comes after Usher also spoke out about deleting his own account after fans started claiming it was coincidental following Combs’ arrest.
Notably, Combs was Usher’s mentor in the R&B singer’s early career.
Usher also previously opened up about living at Combs’ home at age 13 while pursuing his music career.
He clarified that his social media wipeout was not related to the rapper’s arrest.
Earlier this week, he took to X and tweeted: ‘Account got hacked and d*** y’all ran with it! See you tonight at Intuit Dome.’
Combs, 54, was arrested in New York City on Monday, September 16 in and charged with s3x trafficking, racketeering and transporting for prostitution.
His arrest comes as he faces seven s3xual assault lawsuits, which were filed against him in the past year.

He has been denied $50 million bail for the second time and remains in federal custody in jail in Brooklyn.
Combs is accused in an indictment of using his ‘power and prestige’ to induce female victims and male s3x workers into drugged-up, elaborately produced s3xual performances dubbed ‘Freak Offs’ that he arranged, participated in and often recorded on video.
The events would sometimes last days, and Combs and victims would often receive IV fluids to recover, the indictment said, according to AP.
The indictment alleges Combs coerced and abused women for years with the help of a network of associates and employees.
He allegedly used blackmail and violent acts including kidnapping, arson and physical beatings to keep victims from speaking out.
