American pop star, Justin Bieber, has denied reports that he’s struggling financially, calling the claims ‘clickbait stupidity’.
Responding to an article by The Hollywood Reporter, the 31-year-old singer, in a statement released by his team, said the sources behind the claims are disgruntled former employees ‘disappointed that they no longer work with Justin’.
This controversy comes amid the cancellation of Bieber’s Justice World Tour due to health issues, but his team argue that the reports are inaccurate and lack understanding of the entertainment industry.
In a statement released to Us Weekly, Bieber’s team said: “This is just clickbait stupidity based on unnamed — and clearly ill-informed — ‘sources,’ disappointed that they no longer work with Justin.
“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’s team insists that he’s financially secure, having sold his music catalog for over $200 million in 2023.
