Justin Bieber's social media activity has been raising eyebrows among concerned fans.
In January, Justin sent his fans into a stress spiral when he stopped following his wife, Hailey, on Instagram. Hours later, Justin set the record straight, clarifying that he wasn't the one to stop keeping up with his wife. 'Someone went on my account and unfollowed my wife,' he wrote via his Instagram Story at the time. 'S— is getting suss out here.'
One month later, Justin made headlines when he shared a cryptic message about age. Amid concern for the musician's well-being, Justin's rep told TMZ that rumors about him using hard drugs are 'absolutely not true' and called the speculation 'exhausting and pitiful.' Days after the rep shut down rumors, Justin shared a video of himself rapping about being 'high' and uploaded a clip of him smoking.
Despite speculation about his behavior, a source exclusively told Us Weekly that Justin is 'happier than he's been in a long time,' adding that 'there's no breakdown.' The insider noted that Justin'just really doesn't care what people think.'
As 2025 has continued, Justin has been more active on social media, and Instagram users haven't been shy when it comes to sharing their thoughts about the singer. Justin, however, has made a point to assure supporters that he's just fine.

He continued, 'Which made me feel like like [sic] I have been drowning feeling unsafe to acknowledge it. I think we can only let hate go by first acknowledging it's there. How couldn't we feel hate from all of the hurt we have experienced?'

Another social media post had Justin referencing ketamine usage.
'This is how I feel after people keep telling me there's more work to do after I've given everything I have to give. I don't think any of us can handle hearing, 'You just gotta try a little harder and you will be like me.' It's not true,'' he wrote. 'I listened to fools who told me to work harder. And there's no end to trying to earn ur spot in this life because I tried.'
Justin Bieber's Most Honest Quotes About His Mental Health Struggles
Justin asked people to 'stop playing God please' before sharing an AI response to a question about ketamine being 'used to control people's emotions.' (Ketamine is a prescription drug that can be used as a dissociative anesthetic to treat depression and pain management under a doctor's care.) Justin followed up in an Instagram Story post.
'I f***ing always knew in my gut that Jesus was the answer to the pain we are all facing,' he shared. 'People still keep making me think if I work hard on myself, I'll [be] better like them. But the harder I work on myself, the more I think about myself. I thought the point was to think about one another? The only thing that helps me to think about others [is] to let go, not try harder.'
Following his ketamine rant, Justin shared another cryptic message on social media.
'Tired of transactional relationships,' he wrote. 'If I have to do something to be loved That's not love.'
Justin shared a series of text messages in which he appeared to end a relationship with an unnamed friend.
'Asking a traumatized person not to be traumatized is simply mean,' Justin wrote, according to screenshots he shared on Instagram. He told the person that he would 'never suppress my emotions for someone.'
After the friend expressed concern over Justin's anger, the singer ended their relationship.
"This friendship is officially over. I will never accept a man calling my anger lashing out. I enjoyed our short lived relationship. I wasn't kidding when I told u [sic] I didn't need u [sic] as a friend. I have good friends … who will respect these boundaries.'
Justin also shared the text thread on his Instagram Story, with a message to 'quit asking me if I'm OK.'
'Quit asking me how I'm doing. I don't do that to you because I know how life is for all of us it's hard,' he continued. 'Let's encourage our people not project our insecurities onto one another your concern doesn't come off as care it's just oppressive weirdo.'
The following day, Justin shared another message via Instagram Stories.
'People keep telling me to heal don't you think if I could have fixed myself I would have already? I know I'm broken. I know I have anger issues,' he wrote. 'I tried to do the work my whole life to be like the people who told me I needed to be fixed like them. An it just keeps making me more tired and more angry the harder I try to grow the more focused on myself I am."
He continued, 'Jesus is the only person who keeps me wanting to make my life about others because honestly I'm exhausted with thinking about myself lately aren't you?'
