Justin Bieber is seemingly sending a message to his haters.
“If they aren’t talking s—,” Bieber, 31, wrote via his Instagram Story on Monday, March 17. “U must not be goin brazy [sic] enough.” He set the upload to Chris Brown and Young Thug’s track “Go Crazy.”
Bieber also took to his Instagram Story one day prior to share insight into his thoughts. “I was always told when I was a kid not to hate,” he wrote on Sunday, March 16. “But it made me feel like I wasn’t allowed to have it and so I didn’t tell anyone I’ve had it.”
He continued, “Which made me feel like like [sic] I have been drowning feeling unsafe to acknowledge it. I think we can only let hate go by first acknowledging it’s there. How couldn’t we feel hate from all of the hurt we have experienced?”
Days before, Bieber opened up about feeling “unworthy.” He wrote via his Instagram Story on Thursday, March 13, “People told me my whole life, ‘Wow Justin, u deserve that’ and I personally have always felt unworthy. Like I was a fraud.”
Bieber continued, “Like when people told me I deserve something, 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. I say all this to say if you feel sneaky, welcome to the club. I definitely feel unequipped and unqualified most days.”
Bieber’s most recent posts have come amid a series of social media uploads that have sparked fan concern. In February, Bieber’s rep shut down rumors that he was using drugs to TMZ, calling the speculation “absolutely not true.” Per the rep, conversation surrounding Bieber’s mental health “shows that despite the obvious truth, people are committed to keeping negative, salacious, harmful narratives alive.”
The rep noted that Bieber’s past year has been “very transformative” for him, after he “ended several close friendships and business relationships that no longer served him.” (Bieber and his wife, Hailey, also welcomed their first child, son Jack Blues, in August 2024.)

Amid chatter about his behavior, Bieber stepped out on several occasions in minimal clothing to attend a spa. A source exclusively told Us Weekly that the musician “knows he looks strange” but “it’s just him.”
“And after the rumors he’s doing it out of spite now, he’s just being himself and won’t create a squeaky clean image just because the public wants him to,” the insider said, adding that “there’s no breakdown” and Justin “just really doesn’t care what people think.” The source added, “Justin is a happy camper right now. … He’s happier than he’s been in a long time.”
