00:00Justin Bieber is getting candid. In a series of Instagram posts,
00:04the pop singer opened up about some of the issues he's facing.
00:08In one, he says at times he doesn't like himself, writing quote,
00:12I think I hate myself sometimes when I feel myself start to become inauthentic.
00:17Then I remember we're all being made to think we're not enough,
00:20but I still hate when I change myself to please people.
00:23The 31-year-old also says he has anger issues, writing in another post quote,
00:28I got anger issues too, but I want to grow and not react so much, smh.
00:33The posts come after fans have voiced concern for the singer.
00:37Earlier in the month, his rep slammed rumors about alleged drug use,
00:41calling the rumors quote, exhausting and pitiful in a statement to TMZ.
00:45The statement also said quote, despite the obvious truth,
00:48people are committed to keeping negative, salacious, harmful narratives alive.
00:53The new post on Instagram comes after Justin previously shared a cryptic post.
00:58Here's what we know.
01:00After facing relentless rumors about his marriage, career, and overall health,
01:05Justin Bieber is finally speaking out,
01:08sharing a lengthy post on Instagram about how he's changing for the better.
01:16Justin and Hailey recently on a rare outing with son Jack,
01:19and now the new dad is sharing a cryptic message about growth and maturity
01:23amid increasing concern for his well-being in recent months.
01:26On his Instagram story, he shared a lengthy note that reads in part,
01:29It's time to grow up. Changing is about letting go.
01:32The reflective message was posted around the same time Justin reportedly went on an
01:36unfollowing spree, removing several celebrities from his account,
01:40including his ex Selena Gomez's fiancee, Benny Blanco,
01:43Selena's ex The Weeknd, Drake, and most notably, Sean Diddy Combs.
01:49Many fans were expecting Justin to speak out last fall
01:52after the downfall of his former friend, mentor, and collaborator.
01:58While there's no evidence Justin was impacted by any of Diddy's alleged crimes,
02:02including sex trafficking, which the rapper denies,
02:04Bieber was certainly dragged into the narrative after videos like this one,
02:08featuring the two on Kimmel in 2011, resurfaced.
02:19Justin has not commented on the Diddy case,
02:26and as far as his supposed Instagram purge, it's unclear if it was intentional,
02:30as the 30-year-old's account has been compromised in the past.
02:33Last month, he posted and then deleted the message,
02:35Someone went on my account and unfollowed my wife.
02:38Leap is getting sus out here.
02:40And amidst rumors of marriage trouble with Hailey,
02:42Justin shared these affectionate shots with his wife for Valentine's Day.
02:46The couple has endured many ups and downs,
02:48and a 2022 interview with Apple Music, Justin admitted
02:51he struggled with his mental health early on in the marriage.
