In April, several individuals once close to Justin expressed alarm over what they described as a noticeable decline. Sources told The Hollywood Reporter they feared he was spiraling, especially amid speculation about financial difficulties.

"Seeing him disintegrate like this … it's watching the embodiment of someone not living their purpose," said a former team member. "He's lost. There's no one protecting him because there's no one there willing to say no to him. You say no, you get blown out."

Longtime collaborator Poo Bear, who co-wrote some of Justin's biggest hits including "Despacito" and "Where Are Ü Now" offered a more compassionate take: "Whatever he's going through, I pray for him and hope he's OK."

Justin's team swiftly reacted to the claims made by The Hollywood Reporter in a statement in which they assured fans that he's doing well.

"This is just clickbait stupidity based on unnamed — and clearly ill-informed — 'sources,' disappointed that they no longer work with Justin," Justin's reps wrote in the statement shared with Us Weekly.

They continued, "As Justin forges his own way forward, these unnecessary stories and inaccurate assumptions will continue. But they won't deter him from staying committed to following the right path."

Biebr's team also denied the claims in a statement to THR: "Any source that is trying to sell you a story about alleged financial distress ... either doesn't understand the entertainment industry or, more likely, is trying to paint an unflattering portrait of Justin, which bears no resemblance to reality."

Besides his rumored financial struggles, Justin has also been plagued by rumors of marital issues with his wife, Hailey Bieber.

Back in February, a source told Page Six that Hailey has been doing everything she can to support her husband, though it hasn't been easy.

She is "doing her best to be there," but "there's only so much she can do," an insider said. "Hailey loves Justin with all her heart, but that doesn't necessarily mean she's happy."

Friends close to the couple have also expressed concern.

"They've seen him go through ups and downs throughout his relationship with Hailey," the source added. "It's something he's been open about, so it's not a secret."

While the speculations continue to swirl online, Justin and Hailey have consistently put on a united front by publicly showing support for each other.
