Pop star Justin Bieber is facing criticism after attempting to defend controversial remarks he made about his wife Hailey Bieber’s Vogue magazine cover. The singer recently shared a cryptic post on Instagram, challenging people who tell others what they “deserve or don’t deserve.”
According to Hindustan Times, the controversy began last month when Justin revealed he once told Hailey during a heated argument that she would “never be on the cover of Vogue.” Although the post was intended to celebrate Hailey’s achievement of landing the May 2025 Vogue cover, fans were quick to criticize him for being an unsupportive partner and stealing his wife’s spotlight.
Fans expressed their concerns about Justin’s behavior, with one commenting, “You clearly have issues. Go get some help,” while others urged him to take a break from social media. The criticism intensified after his latest Instagram post, where he compared telling people what they deserve to “raising someone else’s kids.”
Recent social media activity raises concerns about the singer’s mental health
Justin’s recent social media presence has sparked worries among fans about his mental health. The singer has been sharing vulnerable posts discussing various personal struggles, including messages about his anger issues, feelings of unworthiness, and the need to let go of hate.

In his latest Instagram post, Justin wrote that it’s not anyone’s place to determine what others should or shouldn’t have, stating that “God decides what we deserve.” This statement came as a response to the backlash he received for his previous comments about Hailey’s Vogue cover appearance.
Fans have been particularly vocal about their concerns, with many suggesting the singer needs professional help. Some referenced his past admission about the fight with Hailey, questioning the consistency of his message. One fan pointedly commented, “Brother, didn’t you tell your wife she could never be on the cover of Vogue?”
The ongoing situation has led to increased speculation about potential marital troubles between Justin and Hailey. While the singer attempted to frame his original Vogue cover story as a lesson in personal growth, stating that maturity means moving past the desire to get even, fans remain skeptical about his social media behavior and have consistently advised him to take time away from online platforms.
