Confusion over Justin Bieber's sudden name change
What does he mean? Justin Bieber's social media activity continues to baffle fans, with the Baby singer changing his Instagram name on Thursday. Instead of the @justinbieber handle the Grammy winner, 31, has had for years, his account is now @lilbieber, reports Page Six. The pop star did not draw attention to the name change or give any further context. He did, however, hint at the update on Tuesday when he posted black-and-white photos cuddling his and Hailey Bieber's 10-month-old son, Jack. 'lil bieber,' the songwriter captioned the social media upload, alongside a lock emoji. Justin's rep has yet to respond to Page Six's request for comment. Social media users poked fun at the name change, referencing the brief period in 2014 when Justin's username was @bizzle. 'Bro thinks he's a rapper,' one X user joked, with another speculating about an 'incoming mixtape.' A third quipped that Justin is in his 'Xila Maria River Red era,' referencing Britney Spears' Instagram name. Another urged Hailey, 28, to 'come get [her] man.' Justin and the model have been together on and off since 2016, getting married in 2018 and renewing their vows six years later while expecting their baby boy. Jack arrived in August 2020. Since the little one's birth, Justin and Hailey have sparked break-up rumours, only fuelled by Justin's social media activity — despite his wife's insistence to Vogue that they are still going strong. The American Music Award winner made headlines for Instagram uploads about 'transactional' relationships and the 'silent treatment' in recent months. He shares on the platform frequently and racked up 12 in-feed posts on Thursday alone, including one of Jack sitting in a cardboard box full of balls. Many of Justin's uploads referenced the viral line from his expletive-filled screaming match with the paparazzi earlier this month, during which he said, 'It's not clocking to you that I'm standing on business.' At the time, Justin also insisted, 'I love my wife, I love my family and you provoke me and it's sad.'

What Fans Really Think About Justin Bieber's New Instagram Handle
Justin Bieber has changed his Instagram handle — and fans are making their feelings known. The pop star, 31, changed his username on Thursday, June 26, from his first and last name to @lilbieber. The two-time Grammy Award winner didn't explain his reasoning for the switch up, simply posting a snap of him playing with his son, Jack Blues, afterward. Fans took to X, formerly Twitter, to weigh in on the new name. 'Only Bieber could make a username switch feel like a cultural reset,' one fan wrote. A second fan commented, 'Name changed, confusion stayed the same.' 'Lol he's so unintentionally funny,' a third fan admitted. Some users felt like the name change is a sign that the 'Baby' singer is trying to venture into a new genre of music. 'I hope he isn't trying to rebrand as a rapper… ' one commenter penned. 'lilbieber sounds like his rap career from an alternate universe,' another pointed out. Justin's new username comes amid his ongoing posting spree on the social media platform as concerns about his well-being from fans continue to mount. On June 16, Justin shared a candid post about his emotional struggles, writing, '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.' A few days prior, the 'Sorry' hitmaker went off on paparazzi outside Soho House in Malibu, telling them, 'It's not clocking to you that I'm standing on business, is it?' The encounter has since gone viral on social media. As Star reported earlier this week, those close to Justin are very worried about him. 'Everyone in Justin's world is deeply concerned about his behavior. It's as unpredictable and worrisome as it's ever been,' the insider shared. 'It seems inevitable he'll need to seek help and do so fast. The path he's currently on is toxic and totally untenable.' Additionally, another source told Star earlier this month that Justin's wife, Hailey Bieber, 'needs Justin to be her partner, not another responsibility.' Back in February, Justin's rep quashed reports that he was using hard drugs, telling TMZ that the rumors about him are 'exhausting and pitiful and shows that despite the obvious truth, people are committed to keeping negative, salacious, harmful narratives alive.'

Justin Bieber Just Made His Instagram Account Nearly Untraceable
If you are looking to swipe through Justin Bieber's Instagram profile and aren't able to find his account, it's because the singer made it nearly untraceable. He recently changed his Instagram username from @justinbieber to @lilbieber, leaving followers surprised. Alongside this social media revamp, he also uploaded a series of posts and pictures on the account, including photos of him and his wife Hailey Bieber's son Jack Blues Bieber. This Instagram username change comes amid raging rumors about his personal life. Justin Bieber doesn't go by his own name for his Instagram username anymore. For users looking to follow up with his life, he now goes by the username @lilbieber. On June 26, the singer changed his username, but hasn't mentioned a reason behind this yet. He topped it up with over 10 Instagram posts in a single day, giving fans a glimpse into the various dynamics he's surrounded by. From posting about his brand SKYLRK to screenshots of his FaceTime calls with friends, Justin Bieber put it all up. One post caught specific attention, featuring his and Hailey Bieber's son Jack Blues Bieber. Photos captured the baby sitting inside a cardboard box with colorful pit balls. The pop star held the box, looking lovingly at Jack and soaking in some father-son playtime. Bieber's Instagram username change comes amid ongoing speculation that he and the Rhode founder were headed for a divorce. The model's recent Father's Day comment on her husband's Instagram post only fueled existing rumors, with reports suggesting that she is considering ending her marriage with the pop star. Insiders claimed that she was 'emotionally drained' in the relationship and couldn't take it anymore. The Rhode founder recently raised eyebrows during a solo outing in NYC over the past week.

However, she responded by putting her ring back in videos and photos posted to her Instagram stories. Sources, however, claimed that going ringless wasn't a 'fashion choice' but a clear message about where she stands in her relationship with her husband.
