Justin Bieber cuts ties on Instagram, unfollows Benny Blanco, Drake, and The Weeknd; fans ask 'Why?'

Justin Bieber is making waves on Instagram again! Not long ago, he accidentally unfollowed his wife, Hailey Bieber, and quickly cleared the air, saying, “Someone went on my account and unfollowed my wife,” before following her back. Now, he’s in the spotlight once more for unfollowing big names like Benny Blanco—who happens to be engaged to his ex, Selena Gomez.

A recent News Bytes report revealed that Justin Bieber has unfollowed around 25 accounts on Instagram. Among them are his former collaborator Benny Blanco, known for Eenie Meenie and Love Yourself, and The Weeknd, who previously dated Selena Gomez. Bieber also unfollowed Canadian rapper Drake, with whom he has worked in the past.


Justin Bieber’s recent Instagram activity has sparked curiosity, as he unfollowed several high-profile names amid Drake’s ongoing feud with Kendrick Lamar, which has led to strained industry relationships. Notably, he removed his former mentor, Sean “Diddy” Combs, from his following list, signaling a possible shift in their association. In addition to Diddy, Bieber also unfollowed U.S. Vice President JD Vance, music producer Diplo, SB Projects (his longtime management firm), and Scooter Braun’s entertainment company. This social media purge has fueled speculation about Bieber’s evolving professional and personal connections.


Justin Bieber’s recent Instagram activity has caught the attention of fans, leading to widespread speculation about the motive behind his sudden unfollowing spree. Social media users, particularly on X (formerly Twitter), have been buzzing with curiosity, sharing their thoughts and questions. Many are wondering what prompted the 30-year-old singer to distance himself from several well-known celebrities.


While one fan asked, 'The Weeknd, I mean Drake I can see why Justin did what he did, but THE WEEKND THO, COME ON', another questioned, 'Why Benny? Is there any beef between them?' A user also wrote, 'I wonder why he was following JD Vance in the first place?'

Amid the speculation, Justin has been keeping fans intrigued by hinting at new music. He has shared glimpses of his creative process on Instagram, working with fellow artists. While there’s no official confirmation about his next album or song, fans are eagerly anticipating his upcoming project.
