We just broke the most important news of the day.
It’s been a quiet few years for Justin Bieber, who has largely stayed out of the spotlight—releasing minimal music, rarely making public appearances, and keeping his social media presence sparse. However, this past week, Bieber made headlines for unexpected reasons tied to his social media activity.
First, news broke last week that Justin had unfollowed his longtime mentor, Usher, on Instagram. Then, in a more surprising twist, it was revealed that he also unfollowed both his wife, Hailey Bieber, and his ex-girlfriend, Selena Gomez. Fortunately, Bieber quickly addressed the situation, clarifying in an Instagram Story, “Someone went on my account and unfollowed my wife. Sh*t is getting suss out here.”
Despite Justin’s swift explanation, social media users were quick to speculate. While some dismissed the incident entirely—”tell me a person who cares,” one user wrote—others noted that Justin and Hailey were literally together in Aspen at the time, brushing off the drama.
On the music front, fans are still waiting to see if Bieber will return to his once-prolific release schedule. His last solo track, “Beautiful Love (Free Fire),” came out in 2022, and while he featured on a few collaborations in 2023, there’s been radio silence since.
What do you think? Was the unfollowing truly accidental, or is there more to the story? More importantly—does it even matter?
