Francia Raisa, best known as Selena Gomez's long-time friend and kidney donor, appears to be throwing subtle support behind Justin Bieber. In a recent Instagram post celebrating her appearance on Celebrity Family Feud, Raisa used a song by Bieber and opened up about the personal meaning behind her chosen charity. But it was the inclusion of Bieber's track and his reaction that had fans reading between the lines. Justin reshared her post on his Instagram Story, adding more fuel to the fire.
Francia Rasia's Justin Bieber song choice has the internet talking
In her Instagram post, Francia shared behind-the-scenes moments from filming Celebrity Family Feud with her family, where they competed for The Breasties, a nonprofit supporting people affected by cancer.
She wrote, Spoiler Alert: We Won! I had so much fun playing Celebrity Family Feud with my familia. What made it really special was getting to play for a cause that meant something personal."
She revealed that the episode was filmed in May, on the same weekend as her friend Supanna's birthday. Supanna, who passed away from cancer, had found comfort through The Breasties during her battle. Francia added, 'I know in my gut she was with us that day helping us out.'
But what caught fans' attention was the audio clip she used—Justin Bieber's unreleased track Daisies from his latest album, Swag.
Justin Bieber reacts by resharing Francia's post
Shortly after Francia shared her post, Justin Bieber took notice. The singer reposted it to his Instagram Stories, highlighting the use of his track and acknowledging her support. While he didn't add any caption, the gesture didn't go unnoticed by fans. However, it's not new for Bieber to throw shade at Selena-adjacent topics. Recently, fans noticed the Baby singer was seen interacting with an X account that mostly operates as a Selena Gomez hate account.
The song 'Daisies' is reportedly about Hailey Bieber
Daisies is Justin Bieber at his most unfiltered, soft, stripped back, and straight from the heart. Dropped on July 14, 2025, just days after his surprise album Swag hit, the track feels like a direct letter to Hailey Bieber. He sings about emotional distance and staying grounded through it, with lines like 'You leave me on read, babe, but I still get the message' and 'Don't wanna be friends, just skin-to-skin.'
Francia and Selena: from soul sisters to distant friends
Once known for their unbreakable bond, Francia Raisa and Selena Gomez have seemingly grown apart in recent years. The two made headlines back in 2017 when Francia donated a kidney to Selena, who needed the transplant due to complications from lupus. But in the years since, their relationship has faced ups and downs, some of them playing out publicly. While they've occasionally denied a rift, fans have noticed fewer interactions and subtle shade on social media.
With Francia now casually supporting Justin, Selena's famous ex, some are wondering if the two former best friends have fully gone their separate ways.
