Justin Bieber took to Instagram to issue a clear message on his first Father’s Day, asserting his role as a protective parent. “I’m a dad that’s not to be fucked with🖕🏼,” he wrote alongside a black-and-white selfie featuring a middle finger emoji.
The post resonated with many, earning a supportive ‘like’ from his wife, Hailey Bieber. Fans quickly commented, with one saying, “I’m a peaceful man, but mess with my kids and I cannot be held responsible for what will happen. <3” Another chimed in, stating, “This is a man that’s standing on business,” while some critics remarked that the 31-year-old pop star appeared to be “high as f–k.”
Justin is the father of a 9-month-old son, Jack Blues, whom he welcomed with 28-year-old Hailey in August 2024. Recently, he had a tense encounter with paparazzi outside Soho House Malibu, where he expressed his frustration at their persistent presence.
“Not me today bro. How do you think it’s going with you in my f–king face? Get out of my f–king face!” he said while shielding his face from the cameras. He further added, “Stop asking me how it’s going. Get out of here. I’m a real man with a real family… I’m not to be f–ked with by any of you.”
As he left, Bieber reiterated his plea for the paparazzi to respect his privacy, stating, “I’m at my wit’s f–king end is what I am at,” voicing concern that footage of him might be misrepresented as losing control.
The following day, he seemed to send another message to the paparazzi by sharing photos of himself with Jack, captioning them with the phrase, “ay bay bay,” along with a middle finger emoji. This follows a series of recent incidents where the singer has expressed his desire to be left alone, stating in April that he wouldn’t be “bullied” into leaving Los Angeles.
