Justin Bieber posted a few photos of him crying on his Instagram over the weekend. In response, his wife, Hailey, responded with some kind words.
Justin shared a photo dump with 10 pictures, two of which featured selfies of him with tears running down his face.
Other photos included him performing on stage as well as a picture of weed and other random images.
Many fans feel confused about why Justin was crying, while others suspect it has to do with the death of his friend and former roommate, Chris King. King, who was a rapper and the founder of the music label Snotty Nose Records, was shot and killed in Nashville on April 20.
According to E! News, “Chris, who was accompanied by two friends, was shot in an armed robbery by three suspects between Hayes and Church Streets in Nashville according to the press release.”
“Another unnamed 29-year-old who was injured in the shooting told authorities three suspects were ‘hanging out cordially’ with their group before things took a violent turn.”
After hearing the news, Justin took to Instagram to share his condolences. “Love you bro,” he wrote on his Instagram story. “This one hurts. Please keep his family in your prayers. See you in paradise brother.”
Regardless of whether Justin was crying because of the loss of his friend, fans loved that he was able to show his vulnerable side. Many celebrities shy away from sharing their bad days, but Justin seems to include those moments when posting his life online.
