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.”
