Justin Bieber says he’s a 'dad that’s not to be f****d with' in cryptic Instagram posts
Justin Bieber spent his first Father’s Day as a parent posting a series of close-up selfies and blurry photos on Instagram, mostly captioned with the middle finger emoji.
In one of the 15 posts uploaded over several hours, he superimposed the emoji on a black-and-white selfie and called himself “a dad that’s not to be f***d with” in the caption. The 31-year-old singer welcomed his first child, Jack Blues Bieber, with model Hailey Bieber last August.
Justin also shared screenshots of a conversation with an unknown friend. “My anger is a response to pain I have been [through],” reads a message he appeared to have sent. He eventually declared that their “friendship is officially over.” While fans are still speculating who this was about, many advised Justin to log off and deal with things privately.
Resharing the post on his Instagram Story, Justin added, “Let’s encourage our people not [to] project our insecurities onto one another. Your concern doesn’t come off as care. It’s just oppressive, weirdo.”
Another Story was posted 12 hours later: “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.”
He explained that trying to fix these issues only makes him “more tired and more angry,” and that he’s “exhausted” with constantly thinking of himself.
Some of his earlier posts were more sentimental, showing Hailey walking into their home with the caption, “Made it home from a lil date night getaway.” He also showed gifts he received: a $38,000 Audemars Piguet Royal Oak watch, two Prada backpacks, and a MacBook.
A few days before Father’s Day, a video circulated online of Justin confronting paparazzi outside his home. “Not me today bro,” he told the photographers. “I’m a real man with a real family, and you’re really in front of my face.”
“I’m not to be f***d with by any of you,” Justin added when the paparazzi continued taking photos and asking questions. “You confuse my anger with disrespect. It’s anger because you’re disrespecting me. You don’t get to disrespect me and get away with it.”
