Justin Bieber Shares Another Cryptic Post About 'Hate' Amid Continued Concern

"What is going on with Justin Bieber?" remains the number one question on fans' minds. However, the beloved singer isn't helping their worries.

The "Baby" hitmaker sparked yet another wave of concern with his cryptic social media posts, painting a disturbing picture. The singer seemingly opened up about all the pain he had endured while addressing what "hate" meant to him.

For weeks, Justin Bieber has made headlines for his disheveled appearances, including viral videos and photos of him smoking. Despite many speculating his bizarre behavior stemmed from drug use, the entertainer's rep has vehemently denied the narrative.

Although it remains unclear what Bieber is going through, it appears to be dealing with intense emotions. His latest Instagram Story post supported this theory as the singer got candid about feeling overwhelmed thanks to his complicated relationship with hatred.

"I WAS ALWAYS TOLD WHEN I WAS A KID NOT TO НАТЕ BUT IT MADE ME FEEL LIKE I WASNT ALLOWED TO HAVE IT," Bieber confessed in a statement set to SZA's "I Hate U." His words seemed to address his mental health as he continued:

"AND SO I DIDNT TELL ANYONE IVE HAD IT. WHICH MADE ME FEEL LIKE LIKE I HAVE BEEN DROWNING, FEELING UNSAFE TO ACKNOWLEDGE IT."

"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?" Bieber concluded.

Days before his latest cryptic post, Bieber got vulnerable with fans on his Instagram Story. The Blast covered the update, reporting the singer suffered from insecurities and imposter syndrome due to his successful career. He confessed to feeling undeserving of his achievements, writing:

"People told me my whole life, 'Wow, Justin [you] deserve that,' and I personally have always felt unworthy, like I was a fraud, 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," Bieber shared. He claimed he opened up to resonate with anyone in the same shoes, adding:

"If you feel sneaky, welcome to the club. I definitely feel unequipped and unqualified most days."

Bieber's concerning statements about his feelings come weeks after he posted pictures of him smoking from a bong. On March 4, he dropped multiple snaps capturing the act on Instagram while posing on an e-bike.

The post, set to "Hits From The Bong" by Cypress Hill, sparked backlash from fans. Many were disappointed by his behavior, with someone writing, "Aren't you in your 30s? This is a post a 14-year-old would make. Man up and be a DAD."

Another critic echoed similar sentiments, noting, "C'mon man! What would Jack think in the next five years? Whatever it is you're going through can be sorted out. There's no need to indulge in harmful habits that may cause some heavy blowback."

Bieber first raised eyebrows with his disheveled appearance, leading many to suspect he was using drugs. Others believed his mental and emotional state must be poor, but the entertainer's rep shut down these speculations.

"The recurring narrative that Justin is using hard drugs is absolutely not true," the rep claimed. They noted the singer was "in one of the best places in his life" and was focused on raising his son. He welcomed Jack Blues last August with his wife, Hailey Bieber.

Besides his family goals, the rep added that Bieber was working on new music. As for the singer, he seemingly addressed fans' growing concerns on his Instagram Story, partly writing, "WE HAVE NOTHING TO PROVE TODAY JUST THE GIFT OF LIFE TODAY TO ACCEPT AND RECEIVE."

Earlier this month, The Blast reported that Bieber had seemingly bashed critics with a religious message on his Instagram Story. He recounted how Jesus raised Lazarus from the dead and appeared to use it to slam critics.

"Jesus didn't heal his best friend Lazareth right away, even tho he knew people would talk sh-t, saying how could he be god if he didn't heal his best friend?" Bieber wrote. He stressed that Jesus was not trying to please anyone and did not allow others to rush him.

Bieber continued his story in a second post, noting that some disbelieved because Jesus did not work his miracles according to their time. Despite what they perceived as a delay, he showed up at a decisive moment and raised Lazarus from the dead.

Will Justin Bieber ever explain the reason behind his cryptic posts?
