Justin Bieber's Latest Bizarre Instagram Rants Raise Concerns About His Mental Health And Well-Being

Justin Bieber sparked concern online after posting and then deleting a series of bizarre Instagram videos using filters and rambling about religion, identity, and sacrifice.

The posts came amid renewed rumors of marital strain, mental health issues, fueled by his absence at the 2025 Met Gala and several images of the singer smoking with a bong.

Meanwhile, reports emerged that Justin Bieber owes his ex-manager, Scooter Braun, over $8 million, after previous reports had alleged that the singer is "broke."

Bieber raised fresh concerns about his well-being after sharing and quickly deleting a puzzling series of Instagram videos on Tuesday.

In the 13-part clip series, the 31-year-old pop star used a face-distorting filter and spoke in a high-pitched voice, delivering a stream of odd comments and confusing reflections.

He kicked things off by claiming he spent part of his childhood in Alaska, even though he's famously from Canada. Bieber noted that he used to go fishing there and could reel in "half a dozen" fish on a lucky day.

Then, the conversation took an unexpected turn. "I don't mean to get in between the stuff you got going on and the people around ya, it's what we like to say, it's no Buena," he said, per the New York Post.

His ramble continued with cryptic phrases: "Question, you ask around, you say, 'You're worried about the what. You've been hurt. You've been afraid. You have been shut down. But let me tell you a little something."

He added: "G-o-d. Our boy Jesus's got a plan, and he works all things together for Gucci. Gucci is what we mean when we mean good."

The singer went on to make an unusual comparison, saying, "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."

In a string of increasingly confusing remarks, Bieber questioned, "Are you tired of them telling you, 'You must become like your older brother Marcus?' 'You must become like your older sister Helga?' 'You must become like so-and-so that you work with until you retire?'"

In the ninth video, the "Baby" hitmaker spoke about his personal values, saying, "I'm always there for the people that made me because that's just the kind of guy."

He continued with a dramatic message: "Two things I need you to focus on — it'll change your whole life — sacrifice and hard work. Are you willing to sacrifice the very bones in your body? I am."

In the final clip, he threw in a bizarre line: "I wanna tease ya. I wanna lima bean squeeze ya, but that ain't the dealio here."

Like the rest, the video ended without context or explanation.

The day after Bieber's Instagram antics, TMZ reported that the two-time Grammy winner owes his former manager, Scooter Braun, millions of dollars.

According to the outlet, after his "Justice" tour was canceled in 2022, Bieber was in financial trouble, owing $24 million to AEG, the tour's promoter. Braun's company reportedly stepped in to cover the debt, with Bieber agreeing to pay it back over a decade.

However, sources close to Braun claim that Bieber has only made a single payment so far. When Braun's team reached out for the balance, they were allegedly told Bieber didn't have the funds.

Meanwhile, Bieber's business manager, Lou Taylor, reportedly conducted a financial review and concluded that Braun had been overpaid $26 million in commissions.

In response to Lou Taylor's claims, Braun's company conducted its internal audit and concluded that Braun had actually been underpaid and was owed $1 million by Bieber.

According to reports, Braun opted to "waive" that amount. However, Bieber's team pushed back, calling the audit biased and accusing Hybe of protecting its own interests.

To settle the matter, an independent audit by PWC was conducted, which found Bieber owed Braun $8.806 million. While Bieber's camp did not dispute those findings, they initiated their own audit, but the results remain undisclosed.

Earlier this month, speculation about trouble in Justin and Hailey Bieber's marriage gained traction after the singer was noticeably absent from a major red-carpet event.

Hailey attended the 2025 Met Gala solo in a sleek black blazer-style mini dress that quickly became a fashion highlight of the night. However, Bieber's no-show didn't go unnoticed by fans and the media.

Not long after, reports surfaced that Bieber had traveled abroad for work commitments, explaining his absence.
