Justin Bieber is still posting cryptic messages on social media — including one for Father’s Day.
The singer, 31, posted a black and white, close-up photo of his face and what appears to be a plastic hand giving a raised middle finger sign on Instagram on Sunday, June 15. “I’m a dad that’s not to be f***ed with,” Bieber captioned the photo.
The post is part of a series of recent social media messages from Bieber that have left some fans confused and worried about the singer’s mental and emotional well-being. (On Friday, June 13, he shared posts that featured his son, Jack.)
Bieber’s first post was captioned, “Ay bay bay ????????” while the second carousel of photos was captioned with just a single middle finger emoji. Several other recent posts on Bieber’s Instagram were also captioned with the same emoji.
Multiple photos shared by Bieber showed the “What Do You Mean?” singer dressed in a red Balenciaga outfit while holding his son in his arms. The child sweetly rested his little fingers on his dad’s shoulders in one snap.
Another picture showed Bieber seemingly giving his son a kiss, although the child’s face was out of frame.
Days earlier, Bieber fired off a retort to a commenter who expressed concern about him. Bieber replied to a comment on June 9 from a May post from the meme account Today Years Old. The original post featured a text exchange with an unnamed person’s grandfather.
“I am worried about Justin Bieber,” the text from Grandpa read, “There is so much heartbreak in Justin’s life.”
“Worry about yourself gramps,” the singer quipped in the comments section.
Earlier this month, the pop star shared several other cryptic messages online.
“This is how I feel after people keep telling me there’s more work to do after I’ve given everything I have to give. I don’t think any of us can handle hearing, ‘You just gotta try a little harder and you will be like me.’ It’s not true,’” he wrote over a closeup photo of his face via Instagram on June 7. “I listened to fools who told me to work harder. And there’s no end to trying to earn ur spot in this life because I tried. U have everything U need right now.”
“This life is about God loving us so we can love each other,” he insisted in another post. “Quit making ur life about work smh [shaking my head]. God will always inspire U to want to work hard.”
