Justin Bieber has stirred speculation regarding potential tensions with his mother, Pattie Mallette, after casually dismissing a heartfelt message from her this week.
The 31-year-old singer gave a terse response to a post from his mother, who had shared a lengthy prayer expressing concerns about his ongoing health and well-being.
Two weeks earlier, Pattie, aged 50, had uploaded several black-and-white images of Bieber with an emotional caption stating, “We’re cheering you on and praying for you always Justin.”
In her post, she declared, “I declare freedom, strength, clarity, and healing over you Justin. Every chain of fear, confusion, heaviness, and pain — be broken in Jesus’ name. Holy Spirit, surround him with TRUTH, LIGHT, and PROTECTION. HEAL EVERY WOUND in his heart, mind and body, seen and unseen, restore what’s been stolen, and cover him in WHOLENESS.”
She also prayed for Bieber to be filled with “love and comfort,” adding, “Fill him to OVERFLOWING with Your LOVE and COMFORT. Continue to raise him up as a voice for Your Kingdom, unshaken and on fire for You Lord. Silence every voice that doesn’t come from You, and let his life be a bold witness of Your power, love, and healing grace.”
The post featured a photo of Justin wearing a T-shirt with the words “Pray for Me” on it, garnering thousands of supportive comments from Bieber’s fans and fellow Christians.
However, Bieber responded dismissively on Sunday, October 5, saying, “Only thing I need healing from is my rolled pinky toe from playing ping pong.”
The Mirror has reached out to Justin Bieber’s representatives for comment.
Bieber’s comment comes amidst growing fan concerns about his mental health. In July, the pop star shared cryptic photos on Instagram with the caption “Detoxxxxxxxxxxx,” featuring close-ups of his sweaty face and a towel draped over his head.
The post left followers puzzled, leading to speculations that the Baby hitmaker was facing a tough time. One fan commented, “Dear Justin, as a Canadian mama please do not go down the Britney Spears road.”
Sources disclosed to Us Weekly that the singer has been “hard to deal with” recently, with Justin’s wife, Hailey, giving him space to navigate personal challenges.
“Justin’s going through a difficult time, and Hailey is giving him room to get himself back on track,” an insider revealed.
Despite rumors suggesting trouble in their marriage, those close to the couple affirm they are still unified. “Faith is a big part of their life,” a source explained. “They believe they are soulmates and will do anything to make it work.”
Meanwhile, Bieber’s career appears to be picking up momentum as he was announced as one of the headliners for Coachella 2026, alongside Sabrina Carpenter and Karol G, marking his first major festival performance since Rolling Loud in 2023.
