Usher has addressed speculation that he wiped his X account.
Posting to the platform, the My Boo singer shared, "Account got hacked and damn y'all ran with it!"
Fans were earlier puzzled after Usher's entire X (formerly Twitter) history disappeared, days after his close friend and mentor Sean 'Diddy' Combs was arrested and charged with sex trafficking.
As of Sunday, tweets from the singer's account had vanished, including his posts, media and replies.
Fans questioned why the R&B singer had expunged his profile, especially given he's in the middle of his highly anticipated Past, Present, Future tour.
The OMG singer's close relationship with Combs has been questioned amid the Bad Boy Records founder's arrest.
Although Usher has not been accused of any crimes, he and rapper Ne-Yo were mentioned as witnesses to Combs' physical abuse of singer Cassie Ventura in Dawn Richard's lawsuit against the rap mogul.
Usher lived with the Act Bad rapper in New York in the 1990s when he was around 14 or 15 years old, in a bid to learn more the music industry.
In a 2004 interview with Rolling Stone, he said there were "always girls around" during his time living with Combs.
"You'd open a door and see somebody doing it, or several people in a room having an orgy. You never knew what was going to happen," he shared.
