Who is Justin Bieber's friend and videographer, Rory Kramer? He starred in MTV reality show Dare to Live, made hit music videos for Avicii and The Chainsmokers, and survived a near-fatal car crash

The perceived feud between Justin Bieber and Selena Gomez is showing no signs of slowing down, although any apparent contention between the two is entirely speculative. Fans think Gomez wrote 'How Does It Feel To Be Forgotten' from her and Benny Blanco's album I Said I Love You First about Bieber. Meanwhile, rumours of discord between Bieber and wife Hailey are rampant online. Justin Bieber at the Grammy Awards in Las Vegas, in 2022.

The post originally came with the caption, 'Girls on social media when they get engaged.' Netizens are convinced it was a deliberate dig at Rare Beauty founder Gomez, who celebrated her engagement to producer Blanco last December.
