Justin Bieber is once again raising eyebrows—and concern—after posting (and quickly deleting) a bizarre set of Instagram videos that had fans questioning his mental state and possible substance use.
In the now-vanished 13-slide video carousel, the 31-year-old pop star appeared with a face-distorting filter and launched into a strange stream-of-consciousness rant covering everything from fishing in Alaska to religion, rats, and sacrifice.
“I was fishing on the dock… I must’ve been 17, 18, 18, 19,” Bieber said in one clip, recalling a teen memory. “A half dozen on a good day. That’s just a little thing called Alaska living.”
Things then took a sudden spiritual turn, with Justin referencing his Christian faith in a way fans found confusing:
“G-o-d. Our boy Jesus, he’s got a plan, and he works all things together for Gucci,” he said, clarifying, “Gucci means good.”
But it didn’t stop there. The next topic? Rodents.
“They want to be like a rat, stealing your cheese. Running the little wheel, going crazy, trying to take away every last bit of your sanity,” he declared.
From there, he spoke about living by “loyalty and conviction,” then made dramatic claims about sacrifice and hard work, including:
“Are you willing to sacrifice the very bones in your body? I am.”
And the most head-scratching line of the batch?
“I wanna tease ya. I wanna lima bean squeeze ya, but that ain’t the dealio here.”
Fan Reactions & Substance Use Concerns
The video series has sparked renewed concern among fans, who worry Bieber may be experiencing either a mental health episode or is under the influence of substances. Although his representative denied drug use earlier this year, his recent public behavior continues to feed speculation.
Notably, Bieber was recently spotted at Coachella smoking a joint beside his 15-year-old brother, a moment that was captured on video. His wife, Hailey Bieber, could be seen gently guiding the teen away from the scene.
Only days ago, he also shared a photo of himself using a glass bong, further fueling the ongoing conversation around his well-being.
While Bieber has been open about his struggles with fame, addiction, and mental health in the past, this latest display has left fans both confused and concerned. Many are calling for those close to him to step in—not with judgment, but with support and care.
As of now, Bieber has not commented on the deleted videos.
