Fans Are Worried About Justin Bieber After New Footage Surfaces
So, there’s been some pretty concerning footage of Justin Bieber floating around, and fans are seriously worried.
He was recently spotted at an event supporting his wife, Hailey Bieber, but something about him just seemed… off. People immediately started speculating that he might have relapsed, which is a really upsetting rumor to hear.
Here’s what some fans had to say on TikTok:
“This is how Liam Payne was acting a few weeks before his death… just saying.”
“That man needs help ASAP.”
“Why does he smell like that? I’m scared.”
“Yeah, he’s definitely using… so sad.”
“If Hailey cared, she’d take him to rehab, but she’s just posing for pictures.”
“That is not sober Bieber.”
People are clearly concerned, and honestly, I get why.
But here’s the thing—we don’t actually know what’s going on.
There have been ongoing rumors about Justin and Hailey’s marriage, but from the outside, they seem to be putting up a united front. Plus, we can’t forget that Justin has some serious health issues, including Lyme disease, which can cause fatigue and other symptoms that might make him seem “off” to people.
His team even told TMZ that he’s not on drugs and was just exhausted after spending all night in the studio.
Now… do I fully believe that? I don’t know. But I really hope it’s true.
Justin has been through so much in this industry, and in the past, he’s been open about using substances to cope with trauma. There are even some unsettling rumors involving P. Diddy, and while nothing has been confirmed, if there’s any truth to it, it would explain a lot.
At the end of the day, I just hope he’s okay. He hasn’t been looking like himself lately, and that’s got a lot of people worried.
Khloe Bailey & Her Label Sued for $15 Million
On a completely different note, let’s talk about Khloe Bailey for a second.
Poor Khloe! She and her record label are being sued for $15 million by a songwriter who claims he wasn’t properly paid for his work on her album Trouble in Paradise.
[Continue with the details on Khloe Bailey’s lawsuit…]
Songwriter Sues Khloe Bailey, Parkwood, and Columbia for $15 Million—Claims He Was Never Paid
Songwriter Melvin “MO” Forest says he wrote three songs for Khloe Bailey—Favorite, Might As Well, and Same Lingerie—but never got paid or credited. According to him, producer Bongo gave the songs to Khloe, and they were released without his knowledge or consent.
And to make matters worse? He claims Khloe ignored a cease-and-desist order and still performed those same songs on her platform.
Originally, Forest only wanted $5,000 per song—a pretty reasonable request. But after being brushed off by Khloe’s legal team, he took things to the next level, filing a lawsuit against Khloe, Parkwood Entertainment, and Columbia Records for a jaw-dropping $15 million ($5 million per song).
Now, let’s be real—I highly doubt Parkwood or Columbia is about to cut this man a $15 million check. That’s a crazy amount, and let’s be honest, those songs probably didn’t even make that much in royalties. But does he still have a case? Possibly.
What Forest Is Claiming in the Lawsuit
In his lawsuit, Forest is accusing them of:
Fraudulent misrepresentation
Violating the Digital Millennium Copyright Act
Civil conspiracy
Deceptive business practices
Tiffany Red, a songwriter advocate and founder of The 100 Percenters, has been backing Forest. She’s been outspoken about how Khloe’s legal team handled the situation, saying:
“Forest was not compensated for his work. The splits weren’t complete. They registered the copyright in their name and not his. It’s a mess.”
200 Days of Back-and-Forth—Then a Bombshell Call
Forest and his lawyer, Tiffany Morgan, went back and forth with Khloe’s team for 200 days, trying to settle things. But nothing happened.
And then came the phone call.
Forest claims that during a conversation between him, his lawyer, and Khloe’s attorney, Jeremy Moore, Moore flat-out told them that they didn’t even need his consent to release his music.
Excuse me? What?!
After that, it was only a matter of time before the lawsuit happened.
Is This Really Khloe’s Fault?
Honestly, this whole situation is a mess, and it sucks that Khloe got caught in the middle. She’s a songwriter and producer herself, so it’s hard to believe she would intentionally steal someone else’s work.
The real problem? The business side wasn’t handled properly.
Khloe needs a better team making sure stuff like this doesn’t happen. But let’s not act like she’s the only one responsible. Bongo, the producer, gave her these songs without telling Forest. And on top of that, Parkwood Entertainment and Columbia Records should have made sure all the writers and producers were paid. That’s part of their job!
Now, Beyoncé’s Name Is Getting Dragged In…
Here’s where things get even messier.
Since Parkwood Entertainment is Beyoncé’s company, this lawsuit just landed at her doorstep. According to Daily Mail, a source claims:
“Beyoncé is incensed that it has gone this far. This lawsuit is a terrible look for everyone involved.”
On top of that, there are rumors that Khloe’s relationship with Parkwood has been rocky in the weeks leading up to the lawsuit.
What Happens Next?
Look, there’s no way Forest is getting $15 million. That’s just not happening. Those songs probably didn’t even generate that much in the first place.
But should he have been paid what he originally asked for? Absolutely.
If they had just given him his money from the start, none of this would have happened. Now, it’s blown up into a huge legal mess, and it’s a bad look for everyone involved—especially Parkwood and Columbia.
And let’s be real—if Beyoncé is involved, they’re gonna clean this up real quick.
Man, I really feel bad for Chloe. The music industry has not been kind to her at all. She’s not making much money from her music—in fact, she’s actually losing money. She’s been paying other people to write and produce for her, and it’s just not sustainable. That’s why, for her next album, she’s decided to write and produce everything herself. It’s cheaper, it won’t eat into her budget, and she’ll have full creative control. But here’s the messed-up part—she still won’t get paid for producing her own album.
Like, what I really want is to drop a project that’s all me—1,000%. Writing, producing, everything. Kind of like when I did The Two of Us with my sister. I handled about 95% of that project—producing, engineering, mixing—and it was such a fun experience. I’d love to do something like that again, especially since it means I wouldn’t have to pay other producers or writers.
But here’s where it gets crazy—did you know that if you produce your own song, you don’t get a production fee? Like, if an outside producer makes a beat, they get paid a minimum of $20K. But if I produce my own song, I don’t pay myself anything. That makes no sense!
The truth is, musicians don’t really make much from music itself. That’s why so many artists rely on brand deals, sponsorships, and touring—that’s where the real money is. But just from streaming and record sales? You’re losing money. It’s wild.
And another thing—I learned this because I used to produce Sis and I records. Outside producers would get paid big checks, but since I was producing within my own group, I didn’t get paid at all. Like… huh? I’m doing the same work, but because it’s my own music, I don’t get compensated?
And you know what’s even crazier? I don’t know if this has changed, but for the longest time, artists who produced their own albums couldn’t even be nominated for Producer of the Year at the Grammys. I found this out from Imogen Heap—she produces all her own stuff. So does Grimes. So does Björk. But because they were producing for themselves and not for other artists, they weren’t eligible. And notice how those are all women?
Man… the music industry is really a scam.
