Justin Bieber’s Justice World Tour was initially set to kick off in 2020 but faced multiple delays—first due to the global pandemic, and later in 2022, after Bieber was diagnosed with Ramsay Hunt syndrome, a rare condition that caused partial facial paralysis. In March 2023, he officially canceled the remaining tour dates indefinitely, leaving many fans disappointed.
On Wednesday, the 31-year-old pop star responded to recent media speculation, calling the rumors “clickbait stupidity.” Reports had circulated claiming Bieber was struggling financially, but he quickly shut them down. According to Bieber, the sources behind these claims are simply “people disappointed that they no longer work with Justin.”
The statement followed an article from The Hollywood Reporter, where a former team member alleged that Bieber was millions of dollars in debt. However, in a rebuttal shared with Us Weekly, Bieber’s camp firmly denied the accusations, stating: “This is just clickbait stupidity based on unnamed—and clearly ill-informed—‘sources,’ disappointed that they no longer work with Justin. As Justin forges his own way forward, these unnecessary stories and inaccurate assumptions will continue. But they won’t deter him from staying committed to following the right path.”
Bieber, who first rose to fame as a teenager after being discovered on YouTube in 2008, has come a long way from his debut single “One Time.” With multiple chart-topping albums and countless awards under his belt, he remains one of the most influential pop stars of his generation. Despite recent challenges—both personal and professional—he appears determined to move forward on his own terms.
