Justin Bieber has been making headlines nonstop lately—and not for new music. From rapid-fire Instagram Stories to eyebrow-raising posts that seem to shade (and then praise) his wife, Hailey Bieber, his feed has become a bit of a spectacle.

The internet, understandably, was confused. Wonder, of course, is blind—so the caption felt like a joke that landed somewhere in another galaxy. Justin also paired the Story with Wonder’s song “Overjoyed,” which only added to the chaotic energy of the post. It’s still unclear whether he was trying to make a dark joke or just wasn't thinking about it.
This all comes on the heels of weeks of chaotic posting.
Justin Bieber's social media mayhem

That includes speculation around their relationship. In recent months, fans noticed odd social media activity: Hailey and Kendall Jenner briefly unfollowed Justin after he deactivated his account, only to follow him again when he returned. Hailey has stayed mostly quiet, but she did shut down speculation, saying she didn't unfollow him and it was a glitch.
Still, the timing didn't go unnoticed, especially since Hailey’s been spotted spending more time with Kendall and Kylie, most recently hiding her left hand where her ring finger would be. In one instance, Justin reportedly showed up at the same restaurant alone after they left and then went to a movie solo.

What does seem to be happening? New music. Justin’s posts hint that he’s working on something, and the timing is interesting—it comes right after his ex, Selena Gomez, dropped her album with her fiancé, Benny Blanco. Naturally, the internet has been dissecting every lyric, wondering if any are about Justin.
At the end of the day, though, the gossip is just noise. What really matters is that Justin, Hailey, and their daughter are okay. Bieber has been through a lot. Fame from a young age, the pressures of the spotlight, and the people around him haven’t always had his best interest at heart.
So while the FaceTime screenshot may be out of pocket—and the posts may feel like a cry for help—the hope is that Justin is happy, healthy, and surrounded by people who truly care.
