Justin Bieber claps back amid mental health speculation; says, 'Worry about yourself, gramps'

Justin Bieber is making it clear that he’s done with unsolicited concerns about his mental health. The 31-year-old singer, who has been at the center of growing speculation surrounding his personal life, took a direct swipe at a concerned Instagram user this week. The post came from a meme account that shared screenshots of texts from someone dubbed “Grandpa,” who expressed worry about Bieber’s emotional state.

"I am worried about Justin Bieber," read one message, followed the next day by, “There is so much heartbreak in Justin’s life.” The meme captioned the exchange with a collective “We all are.”

Justin gave a sharp retort, "Worry about yourself gramps."

His comment quickly went viral after it was picked up by Comments by Celebs on June 10. Fans were left divided. While some applauded the pop star’s bold response, others doubled down on expressing concern. Supporters left messages like “If you’re not worried, I’m not worried, Mr. Bieber, ily,” and “TELL EM KINGGGG.” Meanwhile, others echoed Grandpa’s sentiment, writing, “We all are, Grandpa, we all are.”

This back-and-forth comes in the wake of several cryptic social media posts that have left fans questioning Bieber’s well-being. Just two days prior, on June 8, Bieber shared a message on Instagram Stories that read, “If I have to do something to be loved... That’s not love.” He also lamented feeling drained by “transactional relationships.”

Another incident from February saw Bieber acting unusually at wife Hailey Bieber’s Rhode pop-up event. His reps swiftly denied any rumours of drug use, and called them “negative, salacious, and harmful,” but the chatter hasn’t toned down.

The couple, who married in 2018, have kept a relatively low public profile of late, though whispers about strain in their relationship have continued.
