Justin Bieber and Benny Blanco have worked together previously
Though the Canadian singer has not issued any statement regarding his recent activity, many are questioning his decision to unfollow Blanco as they were quite close once.
In the past, the two collaborated on several of Bieber's biggest tracks, like ‘Eenie Meenie’, ‘Love Yourself’, ‘Cold Water’, and ‘Lonely’, as per HELLO!
The 36-year-old record producer had even hailed Bieber for not being like “cookie-cutter pop artists” during a Zach Sang interview.
Justin Bieber wanted to be friends with Benny Blanco and Selena Gomez

However, lately it's been speculated that Blanco’s engagement with Gomez led to issues between the two men.
The ‘Beauty and a Beat’ hitmaker reportedly got “offended” when Blanco allegedly ended things with him after his association with the actress.
“Justin is pretty offended by the fact that Benny totally cut him out of his life when he got together with Selena. They used to be great friends, so it came as a huge shock, especially since Justin would love nothing more than to put all the bad blood with Selena behind him,” an insider said, as per In Touch Weekly.

The same insider also noted that Bieber wanted to have a cordial relationship with the new couple, but he always received "passive-aggressive shots" from them on social media.
They claimed, “He's sure that if he was pulling stunts and going online attention seeking, he'd get slammed for it, but somehow Selena and Benny seem to get away with it.”
“[Justin has] tried so many times to make peace with them and get past the BS, but they just won't let it go, and he's now saying good riddance. He thinks they’re lame and immature, and he’s not going to bother trying to be friendly anymore,” the source added.
