Justin Bieber addresses recent rumors suggesting he is broke and owes millions, reassuring fans concerned about his financial well-being.
Justin Bieber has recently addressed rumors claiming he is broke and in deep debt.
Fans have expressed their concerns about the pop star’s financial situation, leading Bieber’s team to release a statement on the matter.
Justin Bieber responds to rumors about being broke and owing millions in debt
In a statement released on April 16, 2025, Bieber’s representatives called the rumors “clickbait stupidity.”
They said these claims come from unreliable sources who are unhappy because they no longer work with him.
The statement aimed to reassure fans that the reports are not true.
“This is just clickbait stupidity based on unnamed — and clearly ill-informed — ‘sources,’ disappointed that they no longer work with Justin,” the statement read.
“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.”
“Any source that is trying to sell you a story about alleged financial distress … either doesn’t understand the entertainment industry or, more likely, is trying to paint an unflattering portrait of Justin, which bears no resemblance to reality,” Bieber’s team also told THR.
Rumors began after employees’ claims surfaced.
These rumors started after a former employee made claims about Bieber’s finances.
They stated that he is millions of dollars in debt after canceling his Justice World Tour.
This tour was postponed multiple times due to Bieber’s health issues, which contributed to the financial strain.
Bieber’s health problems began when he was diagnosed with Ramsay Hunt syndrome.
This condition caused facial paralysis and made it difficult for him to perform.
Because of these issues, he announced in February 2023 that he would cancel the remaining tour dates.
The delays and cancellations reportedly led to serious financial consequences for the artist.
Justin Bieber reportedly owes around $20 million.
According to the former employee, Bieber now owes around $20 million to the tour promoter AEG.
This amount is said to be a large portion of the advance he received before starting the tour.
Reports suggest that he has only returned part of the money so far, raising concerns about his financial stability.
Despite the rumors and allegations, Bieber’s team insists that he is focused on his career and personal life.
They stated that these stories will not stop him from moving forward.
The team believes that any sources spreading negative information do not understand the entertainment industry.
Personal changes amid the rumors
Bieber’s life has seen significant changes in the past year.
He welcomed his son, Jack Blues, with his wife, Hailey Bieber, in August 2024.
This new chapter in his life has been described as transformative.
His representative noted that he has ended several friendships and business relationships that no longer served him.
In 2021, Bieber made headlines when he sold his entire music catalog for $200 million.
This deal was initially set for $140 million but was negotiated up by his team.
The sale was meant to provide him with long-term financial security, but now some fans are questioning how it impacts his current situation.
