Justin Bieber changes Instagram username to 'lilbieber' amid divorce rumours with Hailey, fans call it cry for help
Justin Bieber has officially gone from Biebs to LilBieber on Instagram, and fans are losing it. As of Thursday, June 26, 2025, the singer's IG handle now reads @lilbieber, and no, this is not a drill. No press release, no announcement, just a stealth name change and a whole load of speculation. Because when Justin does something subtle, the drama is anything but.

A fan account, @offmybieber, posted a screenshot of the change, and shortly after, Bieber, now rocking his new IG moniker, dropped a cryptic comment under the headline. No explanation. No denial. Just chaos. Obviously.

Twitter thinks he is dropping bars... and maybe Hailey
Netizens immediately grabbed their tinfoil hats and fired up the theories. One corner of the internet is convinced that LilBieber signals a long-awaited rap era. "Is he going full SoundCloud mode?" asked one user. Others are speculating this could be a soft launch for a solo reinvention, maybe post-Hailey?

Why? Because the Hailey x Justin divorce rumours are hotter than ever. The Rhode mogul has been spotted multiple times without her wedding ring, and fans cannot help but link the username shift to a possible identity pivot during their rumoured split.

Baby Jack enters the chat
While the username change screamed Gen Z chaos, Bieber's recent posts featuring his son Jack Blues added layers of mystery and sentiment. First came a blurry Father's Day pic of Jack's tiny hand clutching Justin's face. Then a carousel of black-and-white moments, baby on his back, snuggles on the sofa, all sans face reveal. The sentimental drip-feed feels like a direct message to the public: 'Yes, I am going through it, but look, here is my legacy.'

Jack Blues, born in 2024 and named after Justin's dad Jeremy Jack Bieber, has become the singer's quiet anchor amid the storm. While Hailey remains silent, Justin is leaning into dad mode with a vengeance.

What is next, divorce track or diss track?
At this point, anything is possible. A rap mixtape? A heartbreak ballad? A surprise collab with Drake called 'Custody'? Bieber is clearly in a transitional era, professionally and personally. Whether LilBieber marks the start of his Yeezus phase or just a chaotic username change during a tough year, fans are strapped in.

The question remains: Is LilBieber the new chapter or the final straw?

'Kisses yes, Bezos no': Protests erupt in Venice over Bezos wedding bash
Hundreds of protesters marched through Venice's central streets Saturday to say No to billionaire Jeff Bezos, his bride and their much-awaited wedding extravaganza, which reached its third and final day amid celebrity-crowded parties and the outcries of tired residents. On Friday, the world's fourth-richest man and his bride Lauren Sanchez Bezos tied the knot during a private ceremony with around 200 celebrity guests on the secluded island of San Giorgio. The wedding, however, angered many Venetians, with some activists protesting it as an exploitation of the city by the billionaire Bezos, while ordinary residents suffer from overtourism, high housing costs and the constant threat of climate-induced flooding. As the two newlyweds prepared for the final party Saturday evening, hundreds of Venetians and protesters from across Italy filled Venice's tiny streets with colourful banners reading Kisses Yes, Bezos No and No Bezos, no War". The demonstration contrasted with the expensive wedding bonanza, seen by critics as an affront to the lagoon city's fragile environment and its citizens, overwhelmed by throngs of tourists. We are here to continue ruining the plans of these rich people, who accumulate money by exploiting many other people while the conditions of this city remain precarious, Martina Vergnano, one of the demonstrators, said. The protest organisers claimed a victory after Saturday's wedding party, which was initially to be held in central Venice but which they said was later moved to a former medieval shipyard, the Arsenale. Bezos donated 1 million euros (USD 1.17 million) each to three environmental research organisations working to preserve Venice, according to Corila, the Venetian environmental research association. But many protesters blasted the move as a clear attempt to appease angry residents. We want a free Venice, which is finally dedicated to its citizens. Those donations are just a misery and only aimed at clearing Bezos' conscience, Flavio Cogo, a Venetian activist who joined Saturday's protest, said. Details of the exclusive wedding ceremony Friday night were a closely guarded secret, until Sanchez Bezos posted to Instagram a photo of herself beaming in a white gown as she stood alongside a tuxedo-clad Bezos. Athletes, celebrities, influencers and business leaders converged to revel in extravagance that was as much a testament to the couple's love as to their extraordinary wealth. The star-studded guest list included Oprah Winfrey and NFL great Tom Brady, along with Hollywood stars Leonardo Di Caprio and Orlando Bloom, tech entrepreneur and philanthropist Bill Gates and top socialites, including the Kardashian-Jenner clan. Ivanka Trump, her husband Jared Kushner, and their three children also joined the celebrations. The bride and groom stayed at the Aman Venice hotel on the Grand Canal, where Bezos posed for photos and Sanchez Bezos blew kisses to the press. The planet is burning but don't worry, here's the list of the 27 dresses of Lauren Sanchez, one protest slogan read, a reference to the bride's reported wedding weekend wardrobe. It featured a mermaid-lined wedding gown by Dolce and Gabbana and other Dolce Vita-inspired looks by Italian designers, including Schiaparelli and Bottega Veneta. The city administration has strongly defended the nuptials as in keeping with Venice's tradition as an open city that has welcomed popes, emperors and ordinary visitors alike for centuries.
