This deal has exploded into tensions in the Bieber household, with a source saying the couple's relationship is under serious strain.

“It feels like a blow to his ego,” a friend and confidant told The US Sun. "Justin is becoming incredibly selfish, and that deal has deeply upset him. He cannot stand the idea of being the ‘number two’ in their relationship now."

The sources told the publication that the tension between the two is at “an all-time high.”

“Justin has been dreaming of similar deals for years but has not achieved them,” the publication reported, citing the unnamed consultant.

“He resents that she is a better businessperson than he is, and her success makes him feel inadequate as a businessman," they further said.

“Justin is behaving like a spoiled teenager and is refusing to support his wife during her moment of glory,” said the source. “It’s disappointing to see him act like this.”
