Justin Bieber has once again sparked concern among fans after posting a cryptic message about the pain he has experienced throughout his life.
The 31-year-old singer, who has been in the public eye since his teenage years, took to Instagram to share his latest thoughts, just days after a previous post in which he admitted to feeling like a fraud.
A Troubling Message
In his latest post, Bieber opened up about struggling with emotions he had been told to suppress as a child.
"I WAS ALWAYS TOLD WHEN I WAS A KID NOT TO HATE BUT IT MADE ME FEEL LIKE I WASNT ALLOWED TO HAVE IT AND SO I DIDNT TELL ANYONE IVE HAD IT," he wrote.
"WHICH MADE ME FEEL LIKE LIKE I HAVE BEEN DROWNING FEELING UNSAFE TO ACKNOWLEDGE IT."
He continued, "I THINK WE CAN ONLY LET HATE GO BY FIRST ACKNOWLEDGING ITS THERE. HOW COULDNT WE FEEL HATE FROM ALL OF THE HURT WE HAVE EXPERIENCED?"
The post follows a message he shared last week where he reflected on his struggles with imposter syndrome, admitting, "I personally have always felt unworthy, like I was a fraud."
A Period of Change
Bieber’s recent messages have left many fans worried about his well-being, especially as they come at a time of major change in his life. In August, he and his wife, Hailey Bieber, welcomed their first child, Jack Blues.
Despite his cryptic posts, those close to him insist he is in a good place. His representatives addressed ongoing speculation, firmly denying rumors that he was using drugs.
"The recurring narrative that Justin is using hard drugs is absolutely not true," his rep stated. "He is in one of the best places in his life."
They added that Bieber has been focused on fatherhood and creating new music, describing the rumors as "exhausting and pitiful."
A History of Struggles
Bieber has been open in the past about his battles with mental health. In 2020, he revealed his past struggles with drug addiction and anxiety, sharing that he had turned to substances as a way to cope with the pressures of fame.
Over the years, he has stepped away from the spotlight at times to prioritize his well-being. However, his latest posts suggest he is still grappling with deep personal struggles.
As fans continue to express their concerns, many are hoping that Bieber is finding support from those closest to him—including his wife and newborn son—while he navigates this difficult chapter.
