Pop sensation Justin Bieber just broke the internet with a blunt, and not in a good way.
On April 20, 2025, a now-viral clip from the second weekend of Coachella in Indio, California, showed Justin vibing shirtless with some of his friends, his wife Hailey, and his 15-year-old half-brother, Jaxon.
At first glance, it looked like a typical fun festival moment, until things took a turn.
In the fan-captured video, the STAY singer was seen dancing, jumping around, and taking a hit from what appeared to be a blunt-like object. Moments later, he moved right next to his underage brother and took another puff.
That’s when Hailey quickly stepped in, gently placing her hand on Jaxon’s back and appearing to whisper something to him as he began walking in the other direction, away from Bieber.
Meanwhile, Justin seemed totally unbothered, still dancing and laughing with friends, completely immersed in the music.
i kinda feel bad for #her!? because she had to take justin’s little brother out of there because his junkie brother was doing drugs next to him 😭 like girl stand up pic.twitter.com/9ZA7CQZ3zp

Insider Alleges Justin’s Mental Health Is Spiraling Behind The Scenes
Just days before Justin’s latest Coachella appearance, The Hollywood Reporter dropped a bombshell on April 16, 2025. An anonymous former team member spoke out, expressing serious concern over the pop star’s emotional well-being amid swirling rumors of a mental health crisis.
The insider shared,
“Seeing him disintegrate like this, it’s watching the embodiment of someone not living their purpose. He’s lost… There’s no one there willing to say no to him. You say no, you get blown out”.
After sharing cryptic messages on Instagram, former friends and ex-associates are concerned for Justin Bieber. "I pray for him and hope he’s OK,” says Poo Bear, who co-wrote “Where Are Ü Now” and “What Do You Mean?”

Earlier, on April 2, 2025, an anonymous insider who attends the same church as Justin and Hailey allegedly revealed that the couple was going through a rough patch due to the singer’s declining mental health.
In recent months, Justin has been spotted smoking weed, taking bong hits, and displaying increasingly erratic behavior during his social media livestreams. Addressing the situation, the source shared,
“He’s in a spiral. He’s manic, not sleeping, hardly eating… He doesn’t realize how much help he needs. Everyone around him is really worried. Hailey has asked everyone around her to bathe Justin in prayer. She can’t pull him out of this… Only God can help him now”.
The statement followed a March 31, 2025, livestream where the Love Yourself singer appeared shirtless, rapping along to a track in the background. Fans quickly noticed his gaunt, droopy-looking eyes, sparking fresh speculation about possible substance use and concerns for his well-being.
In response to the mounting concern, Justin briefly deactivated his Instagram account. However, the break was short-lived as his profile was reactivated less than an hour later.
Sad to see Justin Bieber like this. Fans worry as he appears bleary-eyed and breaks down on livestream.

Fans Slam Justin Over Disturbing Behavior Around Teen Brother
Social media wasted no time slamming Justin for what they called irresponsible behavior, especially given he’s now a father to baby boy Jack Blues Bieber. Critics called him out for setting a poor example for Jaxon, accusing him of lacking boundaries and common sense. Some such comments read,
“He has no boundaries or consideration for his little brother”.
“This is where he is now, being drugged every time they catch him in public and… questionable behavior of a grown man”.
“This is scary there are clearly no boundaries or control….”
“Exposing his 14 year old brother to this environment is crazy”.
Whether it’s a harmless moment gone wrong or signs of something deeper, fans are watching, and worrying. One thing’s for sure, all eyes are on Justin Bieber now.
