Justin Bieber’s shock career move

The pop star has reportedly distanced himself from his pastor and church as he makes moves to revive his music career.

 

Justin Bieber is keen to get his music career back on track amid rumours about his wellbeing and ditching his church.

Bieber has been absent from Churchome services in Beverly Hills for three months, churchgoers told The U.S. Sun.

He has been close to pastor Judah Smith, 46, for years but their relationship has reportedly caused a rift between Bieber and his best friend, Ryan Good.

Sources told TMZ that Bieber hasn’t spoken to Good for a year after the friend left the church himself and expressed concerns over it being like a cult.

Since the rumours of a fallout emerged, the pop star has not been seen at the monthly services.

The U.S. Sun reached out to Good, Smith, and Bieber’s rep for comment but did not hear back.

Now, an insider has claimed Bieber is throwing himself into work.

He was spotted with his wife Hailey, 28, at Martin Garrix’s concert at L.A. State Historic Park on Sunday night.

They seemed in good spirits and affectionate with one another.

But it was back to work as soon as the music stopped, according to an insider.

“Justin is now trying desperately to focus on the music,” they said.

“He was with Hailey at the concert but then went to The Bird Streets Club, which is members-only in West Hollywood, without her.

“He played his new album for his homies until 2.30am.

“They then went as a group to Sunset Marquis Hotel and he was in the recording studio there before spending the night at the hotel.”

The insider added, “Justin is trying to juggle everything at the moment, but the new album is being prioritised.

“Hailey is doing her best and is focused on baby Jack and staying healthy, she’s been going to the Alo Yoga gym.”

Bieber shared photographs of himself and friends from inside the studio with the caption “17” after arriving in his Lamborghini Aventador SVJ.

The superstar’s last album, Justice, was released in 2021, and his career has taken a back seat in recent years with only a few stage appearances.

Meanwhile, Hailey recently sold her skincare brand Rhode to e.l.f. Beauty for a reported $1 billion.

Bieber has been open about his mental health struggles in recent months as fans worried about his bizarre behaviour.

He posted about arguments with Hailey and was filmed having a public meltdown over the paparazzi while at the beach.

His rep has also previously denied allegations of hard drug abuse after fans expressed concern over his dishevelled appearance and weird facial expressions.

Followers have also posted their worry over him smoking weed on social media after becoming a new dad.

Amid drama at the church, pastor Smith appeared to reference the news reports in a sermon at The Sabon Theater in front of more than 250 people.

“Recently, I’ve had a lot of people ask me if I’m okay,” Smith admitted. “Which, [at] face value, that is a wonderful thing to do, right? A text, ‘Hey, you good?’ ‘Hey, you okay?’

“The problem is when they add up, I start to wonder … maybe this has happened to you, wait, am I okay?

“So Jason and I went to Miami this past weekend. It was a great time. And I ran into so many old friends I hadn’t seen in a while.

“And I was kind of taken aback because one person said, ‘Hey, are you good? You okay?’ And I was like, ‘Yeah, yeah, no, I’m good.’ I’m kind of like, what have you heard?”

Bieber has been distancing himself from the church but both he and Hailey still follow Smith on Instagram.

In May, the singer chose to get away from Los Angeles and flew to Iceland a remote recording studio.

He spent time at Floki Studios at Deplar Farm with a group of collaborators as he missed the Met Gala with Hailey.

The likes of Calvin Harris and Pharrell Williams have recorded at the location over the years.

It is situated in the remote Fljót Valley on the Troll Peninsula in northern Iceland.

According to an online profile, the studios feature “world-class recording equipment, control, isolation, live and lounge areas in an off-the-grid setting designed to eliminate distractions so artists can focus on their music.”
