Justin Bieber stirred online buzz after posting a subtle birthday tribute to Nigerian singer Tems, sparking both praise and controversy.
A FaceTime screenshot shared on his Instagram Story left fans debating its meaning amid growing curiosity about his marriage.
Canadian pop star Justin Bieber sparked a buzz on social media after posting a public tribute on Instagram to celebrate Nigerian singer Tems on her 30th birthday. On June 11, 2025, Temilade Openiyi, popularly known as Tems, marked the special milestone, receiving warm wishes from fans and fellow artists worldwide including an unexpected shoutout from Bieber.
The “Peaches” singer posted a screenshot of a FaceTime call between himself and Tems to his Instagram Story. The post featured a single emoji as the caption, leaving fans to interpret the meaning behind the intimate but casual moment. Though the image appeared to be a simple birthday nod, it quickly sparked reactions across social media platforms.
While some fans viewed the post as a sweet and friendly gesture between two globally acclaimed artists, others questioned the appropriateness of Bieber’s decision to share a private moment with another woman particularly in light of ongoing scrutiny regarding his relationship with his wife, Hailey Bieber. With recent speculation surrounding the couple’s dynamic, some users felt the public display might be insensitive.
Reactions poured in quickly:
@Jxssalexandra wrote, “That doesn’t look good, Justin. I doubt your wife and the mother of your child would be pleased with that.”
@Moghagram countered with, “He was prolly just wishing her happy birthday.”
@Douglassiankboss teased, “Should we start preparing for a wedding already?”
Others injected humor and sarcasm into the conversation:
@Trendy_escape commented, “Hailey must be one of God’s toughest soldiers.”
@Nnailedbylina joked, “Justin’s in his Kanye era.”
@Ash.leezy remarked, “You two must be in some kind of open relationship or something.”
Some fans expressed their exhaustion over defending the pop star’s actions:
@Cewor1d lamented, “I can’t keep defending you.”
@April8a wrote, “It seems like Justin shows more love to every other woman than to his own wife.”
Despite the backlash from a vocal segment of the online community, many fans chose to focus on the positive, praising the bond between Bieber and Tems. They saw it as a moment of artistic camaraderie and mutual respect between two international stars, rather than a relationship scandal.
The post came just hours after Tems shared a heartfelt letter to her future self on Instagram, reflecting on her growth, gratitude, and journey as she entered a new decade. With Tems continuing to rise in global influence, and Justin Bieber’s every move under a microscope, the moment added fuel to a viral celebration that’s sure to linger in pop culture conversations.
