Justin Bieber has responded to ongoing speculation about his mental health, marriage, and online presence with a series of candid and, at times, cryptic social media posts. The 31-year-old pop star, who has become increasingly vocal online, recently addressed concerns raised by fans and critics alike.
After a meme account shared a screenshot of a text message exchange reading, "I am worried about Justin Beber[sic]" and "There is so much heartbreak in Justin's life," the singer replied sharply on June 10, "Worry about yourself gramps." This comment came amid growing online concern over his emotional well-being and a perceived vulnerability in his recent posts.
Bieber has frequently used Instagram to reflect on personal challenges. On June 8, he shared, "If I have to do something to be loved, that's not love." He continued, "Love isn't a u get what u put in kinda thing. It's a receiving thing. Still find myself trying to earn love. And It's exhausting." He admitted to feeling "exhausted from trying to prove I was worthy" and added, "True love is freely given with no expectation."
These introspective messages have included references to spirituality and mental health. On June 7, Bieber wrote, "People keep telling me there's more work to do after I've given everything." He added, "I listened to fools who told me to work harder, but there's no end to trying to earn your spot in this life." In another post, he stated, "I always knew Jesus was the answer to our pain."
One controversial post mentioned ketamine, where Bieber shared an AI-generated message claiming the drug has been used to "control people's emotions," particularly targeting Black individuals. While ketamine is a legal treatment for depression, its mention raised eyebrows among fans and media outlets.
In response to online negativity, Bieber posted a bold message: "I will never be like u. U have nothing that I want, ur face and life lookz undesirable." These words follow earlier remarks expressing frustration with "transactional relationships."
Despite the public scrutiny, both Justin and Hailey Bieber have refuted rumors of marital problems. "Honestly if I was u, it would be hard not to be jealous of me and Hailey going brazzzzyy," Justin wrote. Hailey addressed divorce rumors in Vogue, stating, "That's not real... I get to wake up to my beautiful family."
