Fans of Justin Bieber are worried about his behavior during the second weekend of Coachella 2025. A video showed him smoking what looked like a joint at a private event near the festival in Indio, California. In the video, Bieber was hunched over and moving his head to his song “What Do You Mean?”
He was at an invite-only party called Friday Nights in the Desert. Another clip showed him shirtless and moving oddly to Kendrick Lamar’s song “Not Like Us,” which made fans more concerned. Many fans said he didn’t look like he was just having fun, with some saying he appeared to be under the influence of something.
Fans also said he needed better friends around him. Some commented that he seemed like he needed help and that the people around him should be taking care of him.
This comes after other strange behavior from Bieber, such as swaying and smiling in a weird way at a recent event. Bieber’s representative denied the rumors about him using drugs and said they were “exhausting and pitiful.”
But some of his former team members have expressed worry about his mental health. One source said they were sad to see him struggling and felt like he wasn’t living his purpose. They also said Bieber was “lost” and didn’t have anyone protecting him. Bieber’s rep responded by calling these concerns “clickbait stupidity” and blamed former associates for spreading rumors.
