Shirtless Justin Bieber looks dazed at nightclub partying with controversial rapper amid fan concern
It didn't take long for Justin Bieber to remove his shirt while attending Gunna 's release party for his sixth studio album The Last Wun, which was held at West Hollywood nightclub Zouk on Wednesday night.
The 31-year-old pop star - who previously got sober in 2014 - appeared dazed as he clutched a bottle of Clase Azul México tequila in the middle of a packed crowd of partygoers.
Beanie-loving Justin - who kept his shaved head exposed for once - grinned as he greeted one man while flaunting his tattooed torso and sleeves.
And while there were about five women mingling nearby, Bieber seemed far more focused on his bros at the boozy bash.
Many in the hip-hop community labeled Gunna a 'snitch' in 2022 when he accepted an Alford plea deal in order to walk free after being charged in a 56-count RICO case against Young Thug and 26 other members of the Young Stoner Life collective.
The 32-year-old Grammy-nominated rapper had allegedly received stolen property and was in possession of drugs — including methamphetamine, marijuana, and hydrocodone — with the intent to distribute.
Gunna (born Sergio Giavanni Kitchens) is featured on the two-time Grammy winner's new song Way It Is off his seventh studio album Swag, which is currently No. 5 on the US Billboard 200 after dropping July 11.
Justin arrived at the venue wearing a large white T-shirt over retro wide-leg blue jeans and $350 Duke + Dexter 'Wilde Kiss' penny loafers.
'Grateful for a new day. Grateful for Jesus,' Bieber - who boasts 607.8M social media followers - wrote Tuesday.
'He meets me every morning with forgiveness and love that I truly don't deserve. So grateful that he gives this love so freely, so graciously. Wouldn't be able to get [through] the day without his love. It meets me at my lowest.'
On Monday, the born-again Christian wrote about 'praying away the feeling of being wrong' and declared he wanted to grow in his 'awareness of God, selflessness, passion, faith, wonder, and love.'
On Wednesday, Justin dropped his personal photographer Rory Kramer's b&w music video for First Place, in which he hangs out in Iceland smoking and snowboarding with his musician buddies.
At one point, Bieber stripped down to his tighty whities to go from a hot tub to a cold plunge in a nearby lake where he performed one push-up.
As the 'Standing on Business' star was partying, his wife Hailey Baldwin Bieber enjoyed a girls' night out with gal pals Kendall Jenner, Kylie Jenner, Bella Hadid, and Alex Consani at nearby Italian restaurant Alba.
On August 22, the married couple of six years will celebrate the first birthday of their son Jack Blues Bieber.

Justin originally met the 28-year-old Rhode founder backstage at the TODAY Show in 2009, they began dating in 2015, and they rekindled their on/off romance in 2018 three months after his split with Selena Gomez.
Eyebrows raised over Bieber's disrespectful public posts about Mother's Day and Hailey's first solo American Vogue cover.
The power dynamic changed between the pair last May when Baldwin sold her skincare/cosmetics company for $1B to e.l.f Cosmetics, and she will remain with the company as chief creative officer and head of innovation.
Justin's athleisure clothing company SKYLRK launched July 10.
Bieber enlisted business partner Neima Khaila and 3D design consultant Finn Rush-Taylor to help him create the replacement to his prior label, Drew House.
The protégé of Sean 'Diddy' Combs' recently fired his manager Scooter Braun, 'swagger coach' Ryan Good, business manager Lou Taylor, bodyguards Keith Gibbs and Eric Johnson, as well as security guard Kenny Hamilton.
Justin was already suffering from depression before revealing he had come down with Ramsay Hunt syndrome in 2022, which made him focus more on his health.
