Justin Bieber fans have shared their speculation after the star leaked a series of brutal private text messages on Instagram, with some saying it's actually a 'genius' move.
Now, it's nothing new that the 31-year-old 'Peaches' singer has had what fans reckon is a bizarre social media presence as of recently but the latest series of uploads he's posted to Instagram have done more than just spark concern - they've sparked a pretty major theory.
In said posts, Justin appears to call out an unnamed recipient a number of times with the first screenshot reading: "I will never suppress my emotions for someone.
"Conflict is a part of relationship. If you don't like my anger you don't like me."

The messages continued: "My anger is a response. To pain I have been thru.
"Asking a traumatized person not to be traumatized is simply mean."
The second screenshot then showed the response from the recipient of said messages which reads: "I'm not used to someone lashing out at me.

"It's not that I don't see and feel your anger."
"Ouch," Justin seemingly replied before declaring: "This friendship is officially over.
"I will never accept a man calling my anger lashing out."
He went on: "I enjoyed our short lived relationship.

"I wasn't kidding when I told u I didn't need u as a friend.
"I have good friends.
"Who will respect these boundaries."

And the final screenshot saw Justin appearing to call the unknown recipient a 'p*ssy'.
"I thought u were a p*ssy," he penned.
"Which is why I always kept my distance but I was willing to give you the benifit [sic] of the doubt.

"This confirms u were the p*ssy I always thought u were."
"Please leave me alone now," Justin resolved after sending the middle finger emoji, prompting the recipient to then question: "I'm a p*ssy?"
Justin concluded the string of messages, writing: "Blocking u now."
While many were concerned for the star's wellbeing as well as being understandably curious as to who the recipient of such scathing messages was, others speculated that the whole thing was nothing more than a stroke of 'genius'.
Alluding to the notion of Justin's posts being set up and/or that the texts are possibly a hint for his next album, one fan penned: "I’m sorry but this is genius."
"Probably a clue for new album," theorised another.
Now, the father-of-one released his sixth studio album, Justice, back in 2021.
His most recent single, titled 'Honest' featuring Don Toliver, was released in 2022 and then, in 2023, he was featured on Toliver's track, 'Private Landing'.
There's not been any music since, although Justin has been teasing new music and has been seen recording in the studio so, who knows, maybe these fans are on to something...
Equally, such speculation is just that - speculative - and Justin hasn't publicly confirmed anything of the sort just yet.
