After changing his name online, Justin Bieber’s activities alarmed many.
Although the 31-year-old Bieber has always used his own name as his Instagram handle, he confused followers online on Thursday, June 26, when he changed his account name to “lilbieber” without providing any reason.
Social media fans speculated that it might be connected to his marriage to Hailey Bieber, but nothing has been verified because his fans have been kept in the dark about it.
In what appeared to be a prelude to the name change, Bieber captioned one of his pictures on June 24 with the words “lil bieber” and included basketball and padlock emojis.
In response to a post that revealed his new username, the artist addressed the fan comments.“We love to categorise and box people in and it’s hurting us,” he wrote, in yet another mysterious comment.
Under his new name, he has also shared other menacing photos with mysterious descriptions. One of these is a rare photo of his 10-month-old son, Jack Blues, with three standing men emojis in the caption.
Given that he and Hailey choose to keep their son largely hidden from the public, it is very unusual.
Following the release of several black-and-white self-portraits and context-free images, Bieber also shared an out-of-focus photo with nine monkeys as the caption, leaving fans perplexed.
A new account, set to private, emerged beneath the old @justinbieber handle after the modification
The strange actions follow the celebrity’s admission that he is “broken” in a post on his Instagram story on Monday, June 16.Writing online, he said, “People keep telling me to heal. Don’t you think if I could have fixed myself, I would have already?”
“I tried to do the work my whole life to be like the people who told me I needed to be fixed like them.”
Bieber also made an unexpected remark regarding Mother’s Day in May of this year, which was Hailey’s first since giving birth to their son in August 2024.
