Breaking news from the land of social media drama: Justin Bieber, the King of Pop and Prolific Instagram Scrolls, has unfollowed his wife, Hailey Bieber. Yes, the man just hit the digital equivalent of “I need space,” and the internet is spiraling.
So, what happened? Did Hailey forget to double-tap his latest shirtless selfie? Did she mistakenly call him Shawn Mendes in a heated game of “Guess the Pop Star”? We don’t know. All we know is Justin quietly clicked “unfollow,” and the Bieber fever is now hotter than ever—only this time, it’s a fever of confusion.
Exhibit A: The Proof
For those demanding receipts (because this is Instagram, not hearsay), there’s photographic evidence of the unfollow. Don’t worry, Hailey’s still following her husband… for now. Maybe she’s waiting to see if he follows back or if this is just an accidental thumb slip caused by TikTok-induced muscle fatigue.
Oh, and if you forgot: the Biebers recently welcomed their son, Jack Blues, in summer 2024. (Name your kid something normal? Not in this family, buddy!)
The Great Bieber Purge: A List of the Fallen
Hailey wasn’t the only casualty. Justin’s unfollow spree didn’t stop at his better half. He’s been on a tear, cutting off key figures in his life like a man spring-cleaning his contacts list. Let’s break it down:
1. Scooter Braun
The man who discovered Justin, shaped his career, and probably knows his favorite pizza topping? Gone. Poof. Scooter’s Instagram account has now been deactivated, possibly to cope with the existential dread of not being followed by JB anymore.
What happened? Did Scooter accidentally serve pineapple on pizza at their last meeting? Or is Justin just finally over all the “baby, baby, baby” jokes Scooter’s been making since 2008?
2. Allison Kaye
Next on the chopping block: general manager Allison Kaye. She’s been with Justin since his “My World” days, AKA back when his bangs were as famous as his vocals. Why the sudden unfollow? Maybe she didn’t RSVP to Jack Blues Bieber’s sip-and-see. Or perhaps Justin just doesn’t like managers named Allison anymore.
3. Ryan Good
Oh, Ryan. The man who invented “swagger coach” as a legitimate job title and was Drew House’s creative genius. He also stood by Justin at the altar when he said “I do” to Hailey. But now? Justin said “I don’t” to Ryan’s Instagram handle. Maybe Ryan refused to wear oversized Drew hoodies one too many times, and this is Justin’s revenge.
4. Poo Bear
Yes, you read that right: Poo Bear. The guy responsible for some of Justin’s greatest hits like Purpose and Changes. Apparently, Justin has decided to roll solo on the purpose train now. Perhaps the name “Poo Bear” just didn’t pass the vibe check anymore.
5. Kenny Hamilton
Finally, there’s Kenny Hamilton, Justin’s former security guard and the man who probably tackled more overzealous fans than we’ll ever know. Kenny’s response to being unfollowed? A heartfelt “Really have no idea. Kinda came out of nowhere.” Translation: Kenny’s over here living his best dad life, not sweating Instagram drama.
What’s Next for Bieber?
While the internet speculates whether this is the start of a Bieber brand revamp or just Justin experimenting with the “block” button, one thing’s for sure: Instagram will never be the same. Keep your eyes peeled, Beliebers, because in the world of Justin Bieber, even a simple “unfollow” has layers.
