AceShowbiz - Justin Bieber is sick and tired of the paparazzi. After snapping at shutterbugs in February, the pop star again got into tense exchanges with several photographers and videographers recently.
The incident happened while the singer was dropping by a coffee shop on April 9 in Palm Springs, ahead of Coachella weekend. In a video capturing the moment, Justin, 31, immediately shields his face and appears visibly frustrated as he spots paparazzi waiting outside.
Though he isn't scheduled to perform at Coachella, it's believed Justin was simply in town to enjoy the festival.
In the video, Justin, clearly agitated, tells the paparazzi, "No, not a good morning…Why are you here?" He then goes on to block their lenses and calls them out, "All you want is money. Go. Get out of here. All you want is money. Money, money, money."
He continues to express his frustrations, "That's all you care about - money. You don't care about people. Only money… You don't care about human beings."
None of the paparazzi responded to Bieber's rant, which lasted about 30 seconds, but he remained undeterred as he made his feelings clear. He walked away from the paparazzi after his outburst to continue with his business while the photographers continued to record and snap pictures of him.
In an earlier confrontation in the same town captured by TheHollywoodFix on X (formerly Twitter), Bieber expressed similar frustrations, "What the f**k? In the desert, really?"
He didn't hold back from calling the paparazzi "F**king a**holes" and asking, "Why are you guys out here? You're gonna record me and s**t, too. Give me a f**king break for two seconds."
Justin's confrontations with photographers come on the heels of his candid admissions regarding his struggles with anger issues. On his Instagram, Bieber shared several emotional posts, including one where he confessed, "I've got anger issues too, but I wanna grow and not react so much smh."
Another post revealed his internal battle with self-worth and authenticity, "I think I hate myself sometimes when I feel myself start to become inauthentic."
Bieber has also spoken about his efforts to cope with these feelings, "I WAS ALWAYS TOLD WHEN I WAS A KID NOT TO HATE … BUT IT MADE ME FEEL LIKE I WASNT ALLOWED TO HAVE IT AND SO I DIDN'T TELL ANYONE IVE HAD IT." He noted the importance of facing one's emotions head-on, "I THINK WE CAN ONLY LET HATE GO BY FIRST ACKNOWLEDGING IT'S THERE."
As Justin Bieber continues to navigate the pressures of fame and personal struggles, it is clear that his encounters with the paparazzi are more than just a clash of personalities - they are reflections of his ongoing journey with mental health.
