Pop sensation Justin Bieber, now 30, has captivated audiences worldwide for over a decade. However, recent photos of the singer have sparked concern among his devoted fans.
A Noticeable Change
Known for his evolving style, Bieber has often experimented with different looks. But his latest public appearances—where he appears noticeably pale and gaunt, dressed in oversized, worn-out clothing—have left fans more worried than entertained.
What’s most unsettling is that this should be a joyous period in his life. Bieber recently welcomed his first child, Jack Blues, in August 2024. Yet, instead of embracing the glow of fatherhood, his disheveled look has raised questions about his well-being.
A Stark Contrast
Bieber first rose to fame as a teenage heartthrob, charming fans with his signature side-swept hair and infectious hit “Baby.” Over the years, his style transitioned from casual skater outfits to polished, designer-coordinated looks. While his fashion choices have always been unpredictable—sometimes even eccentric—they were largely seen as harmless expressions of his personality.
Lately, however, fans fear that something deeper may be at play.

Spotted Wandering NYC in a Bathrobe
In January, Bieber was seen leaving a New York City studio alone, looking visibly exhausted. While he has always favored oversized clothing, his fashion choices took an unexpected turn when he was recently spotted walking the streets of NYC in a bathrobe and stained Ugg boots.
The images have left fans genuinely concerned, with many commenting that he appears to be going through a “difficult time.” Some even speculated that he might be “struggling” or “suffering,” further fueling online discussions about his health.
A Drastic Change Over the Past Year
Just a year ago, in early 2024, Bieber was posting selfies that showed him looking healthy and vibrant. But as time passed, fans noticed a shift—he appeared thinner, more withdrawn, and less engaged.
Adding to the speculation is his past connection to music mogul Sean “Diddy” Combs, who is currently facing serious legal troubles. Bieber, who was mentored by Diddy early in his career, has remained silent on the controversy, but resurfaced videos of their interactions have sparked renewed concern.

“People Took Advantage of Him”
One particular clip that has gone viral shows Diddy recalling the time he spent “48 hours” with Bieber when he was just 15. As these videos continue circulating, some fans worry about the potential emotional toll on Bieber.
An industry insider who worked closely with him told Page Six:
“Do I believe he was involved in some stupid s—? Yeah. He was a teenager. He was the biggest pop star in the world. Everyone was worried about him, and we didn’t know if he would survive it. People took advantage of everything he did.”
The Pressures of Fame
While celebrities like Bieber live their lives in the spotlight, it’s easy to forget that they, too, face personal struggles beyond the flashing cameras.
As speculation about his well-being grows, fans are reminded of the immense pressure that comes with fame. Perhaps now, more than ever, he needs support rather than scrutiny.
