Justin Bieber has opened up about his state of mind in a heartbreaking statement after previously disregarding concerns over his health as ‘exhausting’.
The Baby hitmaker, 31, has been under the microscope in recent weeks after sparking concern over seemingly erratic behaviour on social media in February.
Now the Canadian singer has shared a candid post, in which he describes having imposter syndrome.
‘People told me my whole life “wow Justin u deserve that”,’ he began on Instagram, continuing: ‘I personally have always felt unworthy. Like I was a fraud. Like when people told me I deserve something, it made me feel sneaky like, damn if they only knew my thoughts.
‘How judgemental I am, how selfish I really am. They wouldn’t be saying this. I say all this to say. If you feel sneaky welcome to the club. I definitely feel unequipped and unqualified most days.’
While concern for Justin has mounted lately, his representatives previously denied speculation regarding drug use, calling the rumours ‘harmful’.
Shortly after the denial, Justin shared videos on social media in which he was seen smoking from a bong and rapping about being ‘high’.
A source previously told Page Six Hailey was ‘really concerned’ about her husband, adding: ‘Justin is going through a hard time and Hailey is doing her best to be there for him, but there’s only so much she can do.’
Another source told The Daily Mail that the Rhode founder doesn’t know ‘where to turn’ for ‘help’ as Justin becomes more withdrawn.
‘It’s like he doesn’t care about his well-being anymore,’ they continued. ‘He’s moodier too. People are worried that he’s lost any motivation, even for his music.’
They claimed he ‘won’t listen’ to Hailey as he stops eating, drinking, and working — including when it comes to music which he used to love.
‘He won’t listen to her when she tries to help,’ the source added. ‘Hailey struggles with where to turn.
‘It’s not as if she can ask his family for help – or hers for that matter. They’ve both experienced estrangement from them.’

This isn’t the first time Justin has been candid on social media in recent months, as he announced in February he was ‘changing’ which he said meant ‘letting go’.
He wrote: ‘Not trying harder! Are you tired of trying to follow all of the rules in hopes to get the results you crave?’
Justin added he had ‘found love to be more powerful than rules’, although did not detail what kind of love he was referring to.
He continued: ‘I tried to follow the rules. I’m not good at it. But u don’t need to follow rules to enter into a life of love. U just receive so enter love living!
‘God always grants us love! It’s one of his promises! Upon receiving God’s love! U start to change and start following love.’
In a joint statement, Justin and Hailey previously called concern over his health ‘exhausting’ and explained that he was focused on new music and parenting their newborn son, Jack, who they welcomed in August.
