Justin Bieber confessed to ‘anger issues’ this weekend, after going viral during a tense night out with his wife Hailey Bieber.
In recent weeks, he has left observers increasingly worried over his hollow-eyed appearance and his social media posts, including one of him smoking what looked like it could be a joint and another one of him pulling from a bong.
As the speculation mounted, the 31-year-old singer shared an emotional post last week in which he admitted to feeling ‘like a fraud’ and ‘unqualified most days.’
Then, this Friday, his fans found themselves wracked with concern again over his fraught expression during a date night with Hailey.
Hours later, Saturday morning, he posted the cryptic Instagram message: ‘I got anger issues too, but I wanna grow and not react so much smh,’ with a facepalm emoji.
The caption was accompanied by an album that included a photo of Justin as a child, as well as a snap of a baby who appeared to be his and Hailey’s infant son Jack.

His post also featured a photo of him wearing a hood pulled over most of his face, with a heavy coating of snow on the fabric.
The update comes after he pictured grabbing dinner with wife Hailey on Friday, amid growing concern for the couple’s marriage and his health.
The Baby singer, 31, and the Rhode founder, 28, enjoyed a bite to eat at Sushi Park in West Hollywood, hours after his ex Selena Gomez ‘shaded’ him on her new album.
Justin — who recently sparked concern with posts about feeling as if he was drowning and unsafe — ditched his recent unkempt appearance, and wore an oversized white button-up shirt, black pants, and unique white textured slippers for the outing.
He went clean-shaven for the date, after shaving off the mustache that he had in a recent video of him smoking a blunt that furthered fan concern.
Meanwhile the model looked chic in a khaki jacket with a white t-shirt, black flares, and black heels. At one point Justin raised his cellphone to his face and appeared to be talking to someone as Hailey looked on.
After the pair were spotted, social media users quickly shared their thoughts on the singer’s latest appearance, with one penning on Reddit: ‘He looks better than ever to me. He’s aging, but it’s just making him look finer.’
Another wrote, ‘Looking good!!!’ and one fan typed out, ‘His most decent look in months. I think this kind of look like casual capsule wardrobe but yet loose suits him.’

Others jumped to X to also comment on Justin and Hailey’s recent dinner date in West Hollywood.
One shared, ‘He is looking better guys buzztin is back,’ and another penned, ‘why yesterday he looked like 40yo and now like 20.’
Speculation over Bieber’s health has been mounting in recent months, after the singer stepped out looking hollow-eyed and in bizarre outfits, leading his representative to issue a statement denying he was on hard drugs.
It comes after the singer recently looked downcast on a trip to the Disneyland with Hailey, in another tense outing.
Meanwhile Justin’s ex Selena, 32, released her new album, I Said I Love You First, on Friday and it took fans only a few hours to start looking for hidden messages behind the lyrics, not about her and fiancé Benny Blanco, but about Justin.
Some believe the track, How Does It Feel to be Forgotten, was targeted toward her former flame.
Lyrics from the song go ‘You’re so embarrassing / Go cry when no one’s watchin’ / I can’t imagine it / How does it feel to be forgotten (Ah), forgotten? (Ah-ah).’
In another phrase the Emilia Perez actress, sings, ‘Cause you walked in, big-a** grin / Talkin’ like we’re friends, honey, what were you thinkin’? / He loves me, I love him / Look at you, just look at you now.’

According to the website Genius.com, which breaks down lyrics, one contributor found the words ‘Look at you, just look at you now,’ are very similar to her 2020 track Look at Her Now, which were believed to be about her 2018 breakup with Bieber.
After listening to another song, You Said You Were Sorry, fans seem to believe could be aimed at Bieber as well.
‘Don’t think about you/Happy without you/More now than I ever was’ the former Disney star sang about an unnamed ex.
‘But I had a dream/You said you were sorry, said you were sorry/Sorry for everything/That you put on me, that you put on me,’ she said in the chorus.
‘Our eyes were bawling rain/We finally both forgave ya/I had a dream, that’s all it was/Yeah, that was enough for me.’
Others believe she referenced the roller coaster ride in her song Don’t Wanna Cry.
‘Left the door wide open for the whole wide world to see you / Then you kiss her right in front of me like I’m not even there / I should cause a scene for s–t you’ve done to me / The saddest part is we both know that I would never leave.’
The Yummy singer infamously married his wife Hailey, 28, shortly after he and Gomez went their separate ways in 2018 after years of an on-off relationship.
Fans were left increasingly worried last month as he shared photos that showed him smoking from what appeared to be a bong while sitting on an electric bike
A disturbing new video of Bieber performing a bizarre rap about getting high further raised fears for the singer
Justin and Hailey welcomed their son Jack, in August 2024.
Justin also worried onlookers with his unusual behavior at an ice hockey game in LA on Thursday.
The singer donned a helmet and hockey gear as he headed out on the ice. However, during a break in the game the star was seen leaning over the barrier and shaking his head repeatedly.
The star appeared exhausted as he gathered his thoughts while taking a moment to be by himself before resuming play.
It comes after Justin shared another cryptic message on his Instagram Stories.
In the lengthy post, the Peaches singer wrote about feeling like he was drowning and unsafe.
The post — which was set to SZA’s I Hate U — ignited new fears for the Canadian pop star and his mental health.
He wrote: ‘I was always told when I was a kid not to hate. But it make me feel like I wasn’t allowed to have it and so I didn’t tell anyone I’ve had it.’
The star shot to fame at age 15 with debut Baby and has carved out an highly successful recording career (pictured 2010)
‘Which made me feel like I was drowning, unsafe to acknowledge it. I think we can only let hate go by first acknowledging its there,’ he continued.
‘How couldn’t we feel hate from all of the hurt we’ve experienced,’ he concluded.
In recent weeks, Justin has left observers increasingly worried over his hollow-eyed appearance and his social media posts, including one of him smoking what looked like a blunt and another one of him pulling from a bong.
His latest concerning post comes just a few days after he said he felt ‘like a fraud’ and ‘unqualified most days.’
On Thursday, he hinted that he has imposter syndrome over his rapid rise to fame, writing: ‘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.’
Bieber shot to fame when he was just 15 after he was discovered on YouTube, signing to Usher’s record label.
His debut single Baby was released in 2010 and he has since become one of the best-selling music artists of all time, with an estimated 150 million records sold worldwide.
Both the singer and wife Hailey have continued to brush aside the concerns over their relationship by stepping out together on recent outings and also appearing on each other’s social media pages.
Earlier this month on March 1, the singer celebrated his 31st birthday and uploaded an assortment of pictures to Instagram, including one as both he and Hailey held their son Jack.
Another image showed the model as she sweetly wrapped her arms around her husband as they seemingly sang karaoke.
A few days later, he sparked concern among fans once again when he shared photos of himself smoking from what appeared to be a bong.
In photos shared to Instagram, the star could be seen sitting on an e-bike as the track titled Hits From The Bong by Cypress Hill played in the background.
Late last month, Justin’s rep addressed worries over his disheveled appearance in a statement to TMZ.
‘The recurring narrative that Justin is using hard drugs is absolutely not true,’ the rep said, adding that the performer is currently ‘in one of the best places in his life.’
The star is also ‘actively parenting his newborn son’ Jack with wife Hailey and putting focus into making new music.
According to the rep, Justin has had a ‘very transformative’ year and ‘ended several close friendships and business relationships that no longer served him.’
Speculation about his appearance and marriage is ‘exhausting and pitiful and shows that despite the obvious truth, people are committed to keeping negative, salacious, harmful narratives alive.’
A source recently told DailyMail.com that while Hailey tends to ‘work all the time ,’ the singer instead prefers to ‘chill with friends’ and is more ’emotional and leads with his heart.’
The insider further explained that, ‘He is always working on music and toying with new ideas, he always has a guitar in his hand, he is super creative, but he does not work as much as she does.’
‘Justin already has so much success behind him, he is comfortable, he doesn’t need to prove anything. She is the leader and he doesn’t mind following her.’
Another source informed Us Weekly late last month that, ‘Hailey is trying to be as supportive as possible. It can be hard for Hailey, but she’s always there for him and is understanding.’
