Justin Bieber has landed in hot water after reposting a video that many believe mocks Benny Blanco, the fiancé of his ex-girlfriend Selena Gomez. The video, shared on Bieber’s Instagram Stories on June 20, 2025, showed a content creator mimicking Blanco’s voice and his typical way of explaining musical inspiration.
The post immediately caught fans’ attention and sparked controversy on social media. Many users on X (formerly Twitter) called out Bieber for stirring up old drama, especially given Gomez’s recent engagement. One fan tweeted, “He needs to grow up—he’s a husband and a dad, still acting petty.” Others questioned the timing, suggesting the repost was a reaction to Selena’s engagement news.
In a related twist, fans also noticed that Selena Gomez and Hailey Bieber recently unfollowed each other on Instagram. Though neither has spoken publicly about the change, many believe it could be linked to Justin’s video post and the renewed online tension between the two women.

Selena Gomez and Justin Bieber dated on and off for nearly a decade before he married model Hailey Baldwin in 2018. Over the years, their past relationship has continued to capture public interest, with fans often speculating about hidden messages and lingering emotions.
Despite its short length, the video has reignited a viral discussion about celebrity relationships, personal boundaries, and the difficulty of moving on in the public eye. Bieber, once again, finds himself at the center of online debate, with critics urging him to leave the past behind.
Whether intentional or not, Bieber’s repost has fueled a storm of reactions, pulling Gomez and Blanco into unwanted attention and reminding the internet how closely celebrity histories remain under the spotlight.
