Justin Bieber BioSnap a weekly updated Biography.
Justin Bieber has just reemerged in a major way after a relatively quiet period and the past few days have seen a swirl of headlines and speculation about both his business and personal life. According to multiple outlets including People and RTÉ, Bieber surprised fans by filming an impromptu music video in Dundee, Scotland for his new single Bad Honey. The video, which captures him wandering around an empty local pub called Abandon Ship while drinking beer and reflecting alongside a mirror with the phrase Not everything sucks, has already racked up over 120,000 likes on his Instagram. The surprise drop is part of Bieber’s broader return to music following a four year break. Bad Honey is from his latest album Swag II, which along with its prequel Swag, signals not just new music but reportedly a new era for Bieber in terms of style and tone. The video was shot by his longtime collaborator Rory Kramer, with the two reportedly editing it together on a flight home from Scotland. Local bar staff in Dundee described Bieber as kind and down to earth, taking time to chat with employees and guests before filming.
Meanwhile, there is major business news. People reports that Bieber and his former manager Scooter Braun have reached a $31.5 million settlement to resolve a financial dispute connected to concert advances and unpaid commissions. This resolves issues stemming from Bieber’s 2022 Justice tour and the massive $200 million sale of his music catalog in late 2022, a move initially speculated—per a May 2025 documentary—to be motivated by financial strain after tour cancellations. While neither Bieber nor his representatives have commented directly on this, the financial settlement could mark an inflection point in his business dealings, especially as he moves forward with his seventh album Swag and his new fashion brand SKYLRK, both announced alongside news of his settlement.
Bieber has also been photographed enjoying downtime in Scotland, golfing at iconic courses like St Andrews. On social media, there’s been buzz both for and against his new material, with Perez Hilton on YouTube describing the new music video as both a bop and cringe-inducing, fueling further debate about Bieber’s current state and direction. There is fan interest in his evolving relationship with wife Hailey Bieber after recent reports in People highlighted ongoing challenges but insisted they remain committed to each other, calling each other soulmates. Overall, this week marks Justin Bieber’s most significant public and career resurgence this year, set against the backdrop of major personal milestones and business resets.
