Gaining immense fame and recognition at a young age, pop star Justin Bieber’s life has consistently been in the spotlight, marked by both accomplishments and controversies. While the singer has often been a topic of discussion, recent revelations involving P. Diddy have brought more serious concerns to light.
However, Diddy isn’t the only prominent figure in the industry to face scrutiny over alleged questionable interactions with a young Bieber. An old photoshoot featuring reality TV star Kim Kardashian and the Baby singer has recently resurfaced, sparking further debate about potential red flags for young talent in the industry.
Justin Bieber’s Controversial Photoshoot With Kim Kardashian
During the early Keeping Up With the Kardashian era, a then 29-year-old Kim Kardashian took part in a steamy photoshoot with pop star Justin Bieber, who was just 16 at the time. The two reportedly first crossed paths at the White House Correspondents’ Dinner.
The photoshoot that sparked widespread discussion occurred in 2010 for Elle magazine. During the shoot, Kardashian and Bieber were seen holding hands in the Bahamas, and both shared moments from the experience on X (formerly Twitter).
“Photoshoot on the beach … I told her to watch out … I love my fans,” Bieber said in a tweet while The Kardashians star took to the social media platform with a brief quote stating, “My dream! I messed up Justin Bieber’s hair!!!”
The photos also fueled dating rumors, which led to the reality TV star reportedly receiving death threats. However, she later clarified on her blog, as reported by US Weekly,
Remember those paparazzi pics of me and Justin Bieber in the Bahamas!? Well, I can now reveal that we were shooting for Elle Magazine! I just received the pics from the shoot and I absolutely LOVE how they turned out!
“The theme of the shoot was The Graduate, for obvious reasons, LOL,” she further revealed in her blog before adding, “Justin and I had such a fun time together at the shoot.”
While the photoshoot was not received kindly by Bieber fans at the time as well, many have recently come out to express their concerns about the appropriateness of the collaboration, amid the Diddy scandal and claims that he allegedly exploited the young pop star in the industry during his formative years.
Fans Express Concern Over Kim Kardashian’s Photoshoot With Justin Bieber
The recent Diddy scandal has prompted fans of Justin Bieber to raise serious concerns about how the industry has repeatedly placed the singer in inappropriate and uncomfortable situations.
These include the now-infamous 48 hours he spent with Diddy and his recently resurfaced controversial photoshoot with Kim Kardashian. “This photoshoot was so weird to me. They always had him doing shoots with older women,” one fan wrote reacting to the clip from their shoot.
“Kim Kardashian & her mother & other sister are ped files they all used him together with Diddy,” another said in the comments while sharing their reaction. Clips from the behind-the-scenes of the 2010 photoshoot have also reappeared on X (formerly Twitter).

I have always said it was strange how they sexualized Justin Bieber when he was coming up from ages 15-18. Like Kim Kardashian did a beach photoshoot for Teen Vogue w/ him back in the day when he was a minor… would that be done if he was a girl?

It has sparked renewed criticism amid the ongoing Diddy scandal. Some users noted that Elle Magazine has since removed the official photos from its website, fueling further discussion.
Many have also highlighted the troubling pattern of alleged exploitation Bieber faced early in his career, arguing that such experiences contributed to his struggles and controversial behavior during his formative years in the spotlight.
