Concerns have been raised over the welfare of the Canadian ‘Baby’ singer since his trip to New York last month, with his following worried over his physical appearance, then again on Thursday (March 13), due to a cryptic Instagram post.
In a heartbreaking admission, the 31-year-old took to the social media site and hinted that he has imposter syndrome over his rapid rise to fame, writing last week: “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.
“I say all this to say, if you feel sneaky, welcome to the club. I definitely feel unequipped and unqualified most days.”
Now, in a similar tone the two-time Grammy-winner took to the platform again to break his silence on ‘all of the hurt’ that has experienced.

“I WAS ALWAYS TOLD WHEN I WAS A KID NOT TO HATE BUT IT MADE ME FEEL LIKE I WASNT ALLOWED TO HAVE IT AND SO I DIDNT TELL ANYONE IVE HAD IT,” Bieber wrote.
“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?”
The singer has taken to his Instagram frequently over the last few weeks to post cryptic messages, with one confessing that it was ‘time to grow up’ in February.
It comes after the father-of-one welcomed the birth of his son, Jack Blues, with wife, Hailey Bieber in August.

At the time, Bieber’s reps said the celeb has had a ‘very transformative’ year, having severed ties with close friends and business relationships ‘that no longer serve him’.
His representatives also slammed allegations that he was on drugs as ‘absolutely not true’, adding that he is actually ‘in one of the best places in his life’.
They continued to explain Bieber has been working on some new music while juggling parenthood and called the baseless rumors as ‘exhausting and pitiful’.
“[D]espite the obvious truth,” the rep continued, “people are committed to keeping negative, salacious, harmful narratives alive.”
