Justin Bieber has spoken out, admitting that he feels 'broken' and struggles with 'anger issues'—a confession that has only deepened his fans’ ongoing concerns for his wellbeing.

The singer behind the iconic hit 'Baby' has sparked worry among his followers for quite a while now. Earlier this year, fans grew alarmed after he was photographed in New York looking visibly thinner and appearing drained.

Bieber has previously been candid about his struggles, including being diagnosed with Ramsay Hunt Syndrome and dealing with addiction. And while he’s been open about his journey, his representatives have shut down recent speculation, firmly stating that rumors about a relapse are “absolutely not true.”

Alongside his health issues, it’s been reported that he may also be facing financial burdens, especially after having to cancel his 2023 world tour due to illness. Many fans are now wondering whether his marriage to Hailey Bieber, which has lasted six years so far, might be going through a rough patch.

Now 31 years old and a new dad, Justin has continued to fuel the speculation by frequently posting poetic captions and cryptic thoughts on social media.

In these emotional reflections, he has said things like he sometimes “hates himself” and that he’s long felt like he’s “unworthy” or even a “fraud.”

He has even described himself as just an “average flawed guy” and asked for “God’s help” to deal with his insecurities. Earlier this month, he also admitted he was worn out from “transactional relationships.”

And now, he’s shared another deeply personal message on Instagram, opening up about how overwhelmed and emotionally drained he’s been feeling lately.

Bieber wrote: "People keep telling me to heal. Don't you think if I could have fixed myself I would have already?"

"I know I'm broken. I know I have anger issues. I tried to do the work my whole life to be like the people who told me I needed to be fixed like them. And it just keeps making me more tired and more angry."

The Canadian pop star kept going with his heartfelt outpouring, saying: "The harder I try to grow, the more focused on myself I am."

He added: "Jesus is the only person who keeps me wanting to make my life about others. Because honestly I'm exhausted with thinking about myself lately. Aren't you?"

The post, which came across as raw and emotional, was punctuated by a single emoji—a middle finger.

This latest update comes after Bieber shared clips and photos of himself smoking. He also posted what appears to be a text message exchange with an old friend, where he said: "If you don't like my anger you don't like me. My anger is a response to pain I have been thru. Asking a traumatized person not to be traumatized is simply mean."

Another message in that same thread read: "This friendship is officially over. I will never accept a man calling my anger lashing out."

At the same time, his wife Hailey sparked new gossip around their relationship when she appeared to ignore his post celebrating his first Father’s Day.

Justin and Hailey recently became parents for the first time, welcoming their baby boy, Jack, back in August. The couple originally tied the knot in 2018.

To mark his very first Father’s Day, Justin posted a photo of himself with a caption that read: "I'm a dad that's not to be f*cked with."

Hailey eventually responded with: "Father's Day sucks a**", though that comment seems to have been removed since.

Before all this, Justin had also opened up about an argument the two had just before Hailey landed her Vogue magazine cover.

Back then, he shared: "Yo, this reminds me when Hailey and I got into a huge fight. I told Hails that she would never be on the cover of Vogue."

He added: "Yikes I know, so mean. For some reason because I felt so disrespected. I thought I gotta get even."

He wrapped up his thoughts with a heartfelt apology and said: "So baby u already know but forgive me for saying u wouldn't get a Vogue cover cuz clearly I was sadly mistaken."
