Justin Bieber's Lavish Spending Sparks Concerns Among Friends As He 'Hasn't Worked In A Really Long Time'

Justin Bieber has reportedly left his friends worried as he's believed to be spending a lot of money on luxury items even though he hasn't "worked in a really long time."

The singer has severed ties with most of his close associates and has allegedly been surrounding himself with questionable people amid rumors that his marriage to Hailey Bieber has encountered troubles.

Justin Bieber also set tongues wagging following a series of concerning public appearances and came under fire when he was seen smoking close to his teenage brother.

Bieber's friends have reportedly expressed concern regarding his recent spending habits amid reports that his finances are in a bad shape.

The "Sorry" hitmaker has seemingly been living carefree and partying hard, all while spending big despite the fact that he hasn't worked for some time now.

Back in 2022, Bieber canceled his Justice World Tour after he was diagnosed with Type 2 Ramsay Hunt syndrome, and seemingly lost out on an estimated $90 million in income he would have earned from the tour.

He has also not released an album since he released "Justice" in 2021, although he has seen his net worth hit an estimated $300 million, after making a $200 million deal to sell the publishing rights to his music catalog in 2023.

"People are worried about him," a source told The New York Post. "He's literally going on [Instagram] live, smoking weed, and looking out of his mind. He's flying in all his friends on private jets to his birthday party, putting it all over Instagram."

"He'll spend $300,000 at the Nobu at Coachella," another insider told Page Six, adding that Bieber hasn't "worked in a really long time."

However, a source close to Bieber denied the claim and said the singer hadn't been to Nobu at Coachella.

Bieber's absence from the music scene may soon end as he's reportedly "very close" to finishing a new project.

According to The Hollywood Reporter, a source revealed that the "Baby" singer is hard at work on the said project and would travel abroad shortly to "vibe out" in a Nordic country alongside several of his collaborators.

The insider said the father-of-one is in "great spirits" as he has been hosting "jam sessions" at his Los Angeles house in recent months.

Some attendees to the sessions include his longtime DJ Tay James, musical director HARV, SZA collaborator Carter Lang, and Australian artist Eddie Benjamin.

Bieber has also tapped talents like U.K. singer and songwriter Sekou and producer Dylan Wiggins, among other lesser-known music makers he discovered on social media and enlisted via DMs.

"He's making music, he's helping to run a fashion brand, he's a new father — he's got a lot of things going on in his life," a well-placed source told Page Six.

The news comes amid recent controversies the pop star has been embroiled in. Earlier this year, Bieber sparked health concerns when he was seen looking gaunt and disheveled in several public appearances, with fans alleging he was using drugs.

Last month, he came under fire from fans during the second week of Coachella after he was seen smoking what appears to be weed in front of his 15-year-old brother Jaxon.

He's also rumored to be encountering troubles in his marriage to Hailey, who the insider told Page Six "has become kind of the breadwinner" and is also a big spender.

"These two are traveling on vacations every two days on Instagram, they're running around with full-time security, and there's no money coming in for a long time," the source said.

"She's keeping up with the Kardashians," the insider noted, adding that her spending has made for clashes with Bieber's staff, although the source close to the singer said the claim is "totally untrue."

"Rhode hasn't made any money yet," the source continued. "If they sell, she'll make a lot of money. There's no money that comes out of it. It's all going back into marketing … If they sell Rhode, they'll be exponentially wealthy, and I really hope they do."

News of Bieber's alleged financial woes comes as he continues to sever ties with his close friends and former associates.

He has since been on the outs with longtime manager Scott "Scooter" Braun, his associate Allison Kaye, his longtime security chief Kenny Hamilton, and chief-of-staff Lauren Walters, and has unfollowed several of them on Instagram.

Bieber has also not been on talking terms with former associate, Ryan Good, the creative director behind his popular clothing brand, Drew House.

He announced in a now-deleted Instagram post that he was "no longer involved" with Drew House and his fans shouldn't patronize the brand.

Reports surfaced suggesting Bieber and his close pal Good fell out after Good left Churchome, his church, which former members have compared to a "cult."

"When Ryan chose to leave the church, he basically got excommunicated," a source told Page Six.

It got even worse as Bieber brought in his pastor, Judah Smith, to the board of the fashion brand, which insiders have described as "weird" because Smith is more of a pastor than a businessman.

"Justin started to add Judah to the boards of everything — he's buying him like $300,000 Rolexes and all this kind of stuff. Everyone around Justin is part of this church," a source familiar with Bieber and his church told the news outlet.
