Singer Justin Bieber's recent Instagram post seemingly started online speculations about his well-being. On February 25, 2025, he posted a video where he was seen jamming with Australian singer, Eddie Benjamin. Bieber rapped:

“I fly like a fly guy. I fly high like a magpie. I go high like a bad guy.”

His video reportedly startled social media users, probably because of the mention of “high” in the lyrics. The video comes at the time when Justin Bieber’s representatives shut down rumors about him being under the influence of intoxicants. Nevertheless, one X user commented:

“He’s always been this goofy, y’all. this isn’t anything new.”

Social media users looked forward to a collaborative album between the two artists.

“Collab!! Justin had aged. Hope he’s doing ok,” a social media user suggested.
“If true, this illustrates the need to let go of your past pain and regret, otherwise it will drag you down,” a person opined.
“I hope it's a new hit. Although it doesn't sound pop at all,” a netizen reacted.

Commenting on his looks in the video, netizens hoped the best for Justin Bieber:

“Justin looks like a different person,” an online commentator noted.
“They both look a mess,” another X user shared.
“I want the best for Justin for real and honestly from a fan point of view we need to act and figure out something we can do because this is not giving me good vibes all around,” a netizen commented.

Justin Bieber’s representative shut down the rumor mill saying the singer was in a good place

Justin Bieber’s video surfaced after his representative denied rumors that he was using drugs, following concerns from fans about his recent behavior. On February 23, 2025, his representative told TMZ that the claims were false, emphasizing that some people spread negative and misleading stories despite the truth.

The representative also shared that the past year had been a significant period of change for Bieber, especially after he and Hailey Bieber welcomed their first child, Jack Blues, in August 2024. Speaking about the last year, the representative said that it was:

“Very transformative for him as he ended several close friendships and business relationships that no longer served him.”

Reports mentioned that Justin Bieber looked visibly tired in photos taken in New York City on February 1, 2025, because he had been up the night before taking care of his son. After putting Jack to bed, he spent late nights working in the studio.

Fans also speculated that he was under the influence when he attended Hailey’s Rhode Skin pop-up event in Los Angeles on February 18, 2025. At the time, a video of him wearing sunglasses indoors and moving his body in a relaxed manner went viral.


According to US Weekly, fans first became worried in January 2025 when they noticed Justin was no longer following Hailey on Instagram, even though she was still following him. The couple, who have been married since 2018, quickly became the subject of online chatter.

Justin Bieber later addressed the situation on his Instagram Story, explaining that someone else had accessed his account and unfollowed Hailey without his knowledge.
