His recent appearances, marked by hollow eyes, along with social media posts showing him smoking and using a bong, have left fans increasingly unsettled. 

However, despite these troubling signs, Bieber and his wife, Hailey Bieber, who recently welcomed their first child, Jack Blues, have continued to make public appearances, sharing moments of their life together on social media.

On March 16, Justin Bieber shared a cryptic message on his Instagram story that left fans deeply concerned. 

The 31-year-old singer opened up about his emotional struggles, expressing feelings of drowning and insecurity, with SZA's 'I Hate U' playing in the background.

Bieber began by reflecting on how he was raised, saying, "I was always told when I was a kid not to hate. But it makes me feel like I wasn't allowed to have it and so I didn't tell anyone I've had it." 

He explained that this suppression of his emotions led to a sense of feeling unsafe and overwhelmed. 

"Which made me feel like I was drowning, unsafe to acknowledge it. I think we can only let hate go by first acknowledging its there," he shared.

He concluded the post with a thought-provoking question: “How couldn't we feel hate from all of the hurt we've experienced?”

This Instagram story came just days after Bieber shared another vulnerable post where he admitted to feeling like a fraud.

On Thursday, he wrote, "People told me my whole life 'wow Justin you deserve that.' And I personally have always felt unworthy, like I was a fraud, like when people told me I deserve something."

Bieber continued, "It made me feel sneaky like, damn if they only knew my thoughts. How judgmental I am, how selfish I really am... They wouldn't be saying this." 

He ended with, "I say all this to say, if you feel sneaky, welcome to the club. I definitely feel unequipped and unqualified most days."

Justin Bieber, who skyrocketed to fame at the age of 15 with his debut single 'Baby', has faced growing speculation about his health in recent months. Concerns have intensified after the singer was seen with a hollow-eyed appearance and wearing unusual outfits.

Late last month, MEAWW reported Justin's representative addressed these worries, issuing a statement to clarify his current situation. 

The statement emphasized, "The recurring narrative that Justin is using hard drugs is absolutely not true," and reassured fans that the star is "in one of the best places in his life right now."

The statement also highlighted that Bieber is "actively parenting his newborn son, Jack," with his wife Hailey, while focusing on creating new music. According to the rep, the past year has been "very transformative" for Justin, as he has "ended several close friendships and business relationships that no longer served him."

Addressing the ongoing rumors about his appearance and marriage, the statement called the speculation "exhausting and pitiful," adding that it reflects how some people are "committed to keeping negative, salacious, harmful narratives alive" despite the truth being clear.
