Justin Bieber caught the attention after sharing a series of photos on Instagram that seemed to show him while spending time with friends in a secluded mountain retreat.
The Grammy-winning artist took photos with Australian singer Eddie Benjamin and another unidentified companion in a relaxing setting, and the trio appeared to be a private recording studio.
In one of the images, Bieber is seen lying on a chair, seemingly getting hit from the chimney. Another photo shows Benjamin smoking while Bieber stands beside him. The third captures the pop star staring straight at the camera, casually wearing sweatpants and pink beans.
The post sparked a wave of reactions from fans, many of whom focused on the presence of idols. Comments range from easy observations of “that’s a huge fool” to attention to Bieber’s public image. One commenter wrote: “All I’ve seen is a few short and chunky. Always thought @justinbieber was better than this…you’re not setting a great example for young fans.”
These photos emerged during Bieber’s personal and professional turbulence. While the artist has not yet publicly addressed the latest photos or fans’ reactions, these images add to the ever-evolving development of conversations about his current state and direction.
