Justin Bieber at the 2022 Grammys

Justin Bieber’s representatives have shut down claims that the singer is currently at the centre of financial hardship.

Earlier this week, The Hollywood Reporter published a wide-ranging piece (titled “Justin Bieber’s Crisis Of Faith?”), speculating about recent changes in Justin’s professional and private life, which features some on-the-record quotes from his former friends and collaborators, as well as anonymous “sources”.

Among the claims made in the piece is the suggestion that the Canadian star was left owing a debt of more than $20 million (around £15.1 million) when he cancelled the remaining dates of his Justice world tour in 2023.

Justin’s rep has now told People: “This is just clickbait stupidity based on unnamed – and clearly ill-informed – ‘sources’, disappointed that they no longer work with Justin.

“As Justin forges his own way forward, these unnecessary stories and inaccurate assumptions will continue. But, they won’t deter him from staying committed to following the right path.”
