Justin Bieber erupted at photographers in Palm Springs, California, delivering a scathing critique of paparazzi culture in a heated exchange captured by TMZ. The 31-year-old singer, sporting a tie-dye hoodie and lime green clogs ahead of Coachella’s first weekend, immediately covered his face upon spotting cameras outside a coffee shop.
“No! Not good morning! You already know. Why are you here?” Bieber fired back when greeted by a photographer. He repeatedly accused the group of being motivated solely by money, making cash gestures with his hands: “Money, money, money, money, money… Get outta here, bro. That’s all you want. You don’t care about human beings.” The confrontation escalated as Bieber physically blocked a camera before retreating inside with friends.
This outburst follows Bieber’s recent Instagram admission about struggling with “anger issues,” where he posted a reflective caption: “I wanna grow and not react so much smh.” The post included ambiguous imagery—a hoodie-clad selfie, childhood photo, and cargo containers alongside what appeared to be son Jack Blues’ image.
Concerns about Bieber’s well-being have mounted since February, when fans noted his erratic behavior—including nervous weight-shifting and clothing-gripping—at wife Hailey Bieber’s Rhode skincare event. Sources say the 28-year-old model is “really concerned” but feels limited in how to help. “Justin is going through a hard time,” an insider revealed, “and Hailey is doing her best to be there for him.”
While representatives previously dismissed health rumors as “exhausting and pitiful” narratives, the couple continues facing split speculation despite no concrete evidence of marital trouble. The incident underscores Bieber’s long-documented tension with fame—from his 2013 “I’m retiring” tweets to his 2022 Ramsay Hunt syndrome diagnosis that forced tour cancellations.
