He was at Friday Nights in the Desert, described by TMZ as a "private party in Thermal, California, not far from where Coachella takes place."

Then I remember we're all being made to think we're not enough but I still hate when I change myself to please people,' Bieber wrote on Instagram on March 22. 'Seeing him disintegrate like this … it's watching the embodiment of someone not living their purpose,' a former team member told The Hollywood Reporter. 'He's lost. There's no one protecting him because there's no one there willing to say no to him. You say no, you get blown out.' However, another source told THR that Bieber is fine.

Justin Bieber pleads for paparazzi attention to stop amid growing concern for pop star's behavior
Justin Bieber shared a video of several paparazzi taking photos of him with a plea for the behavior to end. The pop star, 31, posted a video of an interaction between himself, his team and a group of photographers late Thursday night. "Look at these guys, man," Bieber repeatedly said while videoing. "This has to stop," the "One Time" singer wrote in his caption. Throughout the video, fans can hear the back-and-forth between Bieber's entourage and photographers. "Guys, can you back up please?" someone asked, before a photographer replied with, "You're filming me?" "You guys done?" another person asked the photographers. "Got your shots, go," the man added, encouraging the photographers to be on their way. Bieber shared a statement to Instagram on Friday morning, although it's unclear if the comments were related to the paparazzi video. "Everyone telling me to move from La. U think I'm gonna get bullied to leave where my influence is most needed?" he began. "How can we make a change if we run away from the darkness? I too have been caught up in the transactional nature of Hollywood. "It's embarrassing but with that said I want nothing to do with that as a grown adult with a wife and son, I just want to be submerged in the culture learning from any and everyone. And be a proponent and advocate for LOVE AND EQUALITY." In an additional post he made Thursday, Bieber wrote in part, "They treat me like a-- out here, but if I remember that I am flawed too and that god forgave me, It helps to stop feeling better than those people who are mean and hurtful. Because when I'm really honest I can be mean and hurtful too." He continued, "My instinct is to be like damn I wouldn't gossip and spread lies about someone on the internet but there's other s--- I do that I'm not proud of. That god is gracious with." "Hurt people hurt people," Bieber wrote, "And honestly if I was u it would be hard not to be jealous if I saw me and Hailey going so brazzzzyy." Fox News Digital reached out to a representative for additional comment. Bieber is no stranger to paparazzi and has been dealing with an intense level of scrutiny since his meteoric rise to fame began in 2009. The musician was first discovered after posting covers to YouTube. His viral fame led to the release of his first album, "My World," which featured the hit singles "One Time" and "One Less Lonely Girl." At the time, Bieber was only 16 years old. The "What Do You Mean" singer has recently sparked concern among fans with his various posts about his mental and emotional health. Bieber's behavior at an event put on by his wife Hailey Bieber also left fans baffled. In a video that went viral on TikTok in February, he was seen with a huge grin on his face and rocking side-to-side while talking to attendees. "Are you sure that's Justin Bieber?" one user asked. "Is he okay?!" a user asked. Another chimed in, "This is so hard to watch. Someone help him." After the speculation, Bieber's team told TMZ that concerns about Bieber's mental and physical health are "exhausting and pitiful and shows that despite the obvious truth, people are committed to keeping negative, salacious, harmful narratives alive." His team added that he is focused on being a father to his son, Jack, and producing new music. Hailey and Justin welcomed their first child in August. Bieber's behavior during weekend two of Coachella also sparked concern among fans as videos surfaced of the "Love Yourself" singer smoking marijuana in the crowd. Despite rumors of a rocky spot in the pop star's marriage to Hailey, a source told People that Bieber is having fun with his wife's support. "Hailey is not on the verge of wanting a divorce or leaving him. It's just completely untrue," the insider told the outlet. "If anything she's sad about how hard everyone is being on him now that he finally is coming back out of his shell."

Justin Bieber's Close Pal Distances Self From Singer Over Feud With His Pastor And 'Weird' Business Move
Justin Bieber's relationship with former associate and close friend Ryan Good reportedly soured because of the singer's close ties with his pastor, Judah Smith. Bieber, who has sparked health concerns among fans due to his behavior on social media and public appearances, finally addressed claims that he was broke and owed a "large debt." Justin Bieber's circle has also gotten smaller in recent times as he continues to be estranged from many of his friends and associates, who are now questioning his choices. Bieber's former associate, Ryan Good, the creative director behind the singer's popular clothing brand, Drew House, appears to be stepping back from him because of his pastor, Judah Smith. According to TMZ, Good and Bieber have not spoken in over a year since the fashion executive left the "Peaches" singer's Churchome in Beverly Hills, the church where Bieber still worships and Smith serves as pastor. Sources told the news outlet that Good felt Churchome was a cult, so he left, and the fact that Bieber grew closer to Smith didn't help matters at all. It seemingly got worse after Bieber added Smith to his fashion brand's Board a few years ago, despite the fact that Good didn't get along with the pastor. The insider described the move as "weird" because Smith is more of a pastor than a businessman. However, sources close to Smith say he has no problem with Good and wishes him well. Meanwhile, reports suggest Good is worried about Bieber following his recent run of disturbing headlines. Good isn't the only associate Bieber has severed ties with in recent times as his circle continues to get smaller by the day. The "Baby" singer has since ended things with his former manager, Scott "Scooter" Braun, his associate Allison Kaye, and longtime security chief Kenny Hamilton. He also pulled the plugs on his working relationship with TriStar after they left him feeling betrayed for allegedly mismanaging his finances for years. However, his former friends and associates are questioning his decisions. "Whatever he's going through, I pray for him and hope he's OK," Bieber's former collaborator Poo Bear, who co-wrote some of his biggest hits, including "Despacito," and "What Do You Mean?" told The Hollywood Reporter. "Seeing him disintegrate like this … it's watching the embodiment of someone not living their purpose," one former team member said. "He's lost. There's no one protecting him because there's no one there willing to say no to him. You say no, you get blown out." The 30-year-old singer continues to spark concern among fans following his "rough" appearance during week 2 of Coachella 2025. In a clip making the rounds on social media, a shirtless Bieber can be seen smoking what appears to be weed at a soiree near the Coachella music festival in Indio, California. He can be seen rocking to his 2015 hit "What Do You Mean?" as well as Kendrick Lamar's "Not Like Us," but fans took to social media to comment on his appearance, with one saying he doesn't "look OK" and is "under some hard influence," per TMZ. Another noted that Bieber "needs better friends by [his] side," while a third penned that the pop star was clearly in need of help. It comes after the "Sorry" hitmaker sparked health concerns among fans in recent months following a series of disheveled appearances. The father-of-one was forced to address rumors that he was "broke" and owed a "large debt" after cancelling his Justice World Tour. Bieber addressed the claims in a statement released by his team in response to an article published by The Hollywood Reporter in which a former employee of the singer claimed he was millions in debt following the cancellation of his tour. "This is just clickbait stupidity based on unnamed — and clearly ill-informed — 'sources,' disappointed that they no longer work with Justin," Bieber's team wrote in the statement shared with Us Weekly. They continued, "As Justin forges his own way forward, these unnecessary stories and inaccurate assumptions will continue. But they won't deter him from staying committed to following the right path." Bieber's team also denied the claims in a statement to THR: "Any source that is trying to sell you a story about alleged financial distress ... either doesn't understand the entertainment industry or, more likely, is trying to paint an unflattering portrait of Justin, which bears no resemblance to reality." People who were once close to Bieber further expressed worry about his behavior due to the kind of decisions he has been making. According to People Magazine, a source revealed that the star has been plagued by a lot of "demons," which seem to include his past ties to embattled rapper Sean "Diddy" Combs, who is currently in jail awaiting trial, and his fractured relationship with Scooter Braun. "He is facing a lot of different demons right now," the source told the news outlet. "He is making some really poor decisions lately, further impacting friendships, money, and business." "People are worried about him," the insider further noted.

ALBAWABA - Justin Bieber split from Scooter Braun creates major uncertainty around his future music releases and plans. Scooter Braun, Justin Bieber's famous manager, and Bieber announced their split after working together for many years, which was essential in the commencement of Bieber's artistic career and his achievement of enormous success on a global scale. Justin is the latest celebrity to join Taylor Swift, Bruno Mars, and Morgan Wallen in managing their own careers. To realize his vision and aspirations for a new artistic phase, which he intends to create in his own unique style, he assembled a close-knit group consisting of friends and colleagues like himself. Justin Bieber Instagram profile Bieber's posting of a series of cryptic messages on Instagram, which prompted a number of his pals to express their concern for him, was the event that kicked off the debate. Poo Bear, a producer and songwriter who worked with Justin on hits such as "Where Are U Now" and "What Do You Mean," was one of the individuals who expressed their support for him by saying, "Whatever Justin is going through, I'm praying for him and hoping he's okay." Although Justin Bieber is under contract with Def Jam Recordings to record four more albums, the company is still waiting for a new album to be released because of the uncertainty that surrounds his artistic destiny. "He'll release his music when he feels comfortable," a source close to Justin Bieber was reported as saying by The Hollywood Reporter. This statement confirmed that Justin is now doing jam sessions at his house, away from the spotlight. While all is going on, the record label is eager to release a new album for Justin Bieber, particularly because the demand from the public is still high. On the other hand, insiders close to the label warn that things will continue to be tricky "until his issues with Scooter Braun are resolved."
