Justin Bieber issues furious statement in response to claims he’s in ‘millions of dollars of debt’
A representative has fired back over the 'ill-informed' allegations
Justin Bieber's representatives have issued a rather strong statement in response to claims he's in 'millions of dollars of debt', calling out the 'stupidity' of the comments.
The 31-year-old 'Love Yourself' singer has recently sparked quite the bit of concern among fans due to his recent behaviour on Instagram, and now, following a recent article published by The Hollywood Reporter, fans are worried over the father-of-one's financial status too.
In the article, which was published earlier this week on Wednesday (16 April), a former team member claimed that Bieber, who they said was 'lost', was left with millions of dollars in debt after canceling his Justice Tour in 2022.
"Seeing him disintegrate like this … it’s watching the embodiment of someone not living their purpose," the individual told the outlet.

"He’s lost. There’s no one protecting him because there’s no one there willing to say no to him. You say no, you get blown out."
A source has since told PEOPLE that people once close to the Canadian hit-maker are concerned about his wellbeing.
"He is facing a lot of different demons right now," the source said. "He is making some really poor decisions lately, further impacting friendships, money, and business."
The insider added: "People are worried about him."
One of Bieber's representatives also hit out over The Hollywood Reporter's sources in an official statement telling PEOPLE: "This is just clickbait stupidity based on unnamed - and clearly ill-informed - 'sources', disappointed that they no longer work with Justin."
The rep added: "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."
Bieber previously admitted last month (16 March) to feeling like he's 'drowning' on social media, sparking further concern after admitting he feels 'unsafe'.
Set to SZA's track 'I Hate U', he began his plea: "I was always told when I was a kid not to hate.
"But it make me feel like I wasn't allowed to have it and so I didn't tell anyone I've had it.
"Which made me feel like I was drowning, unsafe to acknowledge it. I think we can only let hate go by first acknowledging its there."
He went on to ask: "How couldn't we feel hate from all of the hurt we've experienced?"
