Justin Bieber was recently caught in a heated clash with paparazzi outside Malibu’s Soho House, after months of relentless media attention. The singer, who has been keeping a low profile since becoming a father, finally snapped, lashing out at photographers for invading his personal space.
According to Page Six, it all unfolded on Thursday when Bieber was leaving the popular celebrity hotspot, only to be swarmed by paparazzi shouting his name and firing questions. What started as the usual media circus quickly spiraled into an intense verbal spat, parts of which were captured on camera and quickly made the rounds on social media by Friday.
Though the photographers tried to lighten the mood by wishing him a “Happy Father’s Day,” their words only seemed to fuel Bieber’s frustration. “Stop provoking me. I’m a real dad, a real husband, a real man,” he shot back, drawing attention to his life with Hailey Bieber and their 9-month-old son, Jack Blues.
The pop star accused the paparazzi of deliberately stirring the pot, warning them about the usual media trick of chopping clips for clicks. “You’ll take this video out of context like you always do… You think I’m an idiot, bro,” he said. “I’m at my wit’s end is what I am at.”
Despite the photographers arguing that they were within their rights to film in a public place, Bieber wasn’t having it. “Because I’m not to be fed with by any of you. Stop that s**t. You don’t get to talk to me today,” he told them sharply. “You’re not my buddies.”
In the video, Bieber also pointed out how these tense encounters are often flipped online to make him look bad, expecting the usual round of headlines like “Justin lost his mind.” He pushed back on the idea that his anger was unjustified: “You confuse my anger with disrespect. It’s anger because you’re disrespecting me.”

He didn’t hold back in criticising their profession either, saying their work thrives “at the expense of another human.” As the shouting match continued, Bieber made one thing clear: his family time was off-limits. “Not tonight. I love my evenings, I love my wife, I love my family and you provoke me and it’s sad.”

“I don’t know who is paying you to provoke me, but I’m not the one. OK? Stop provoking me… I’m not to be fed with,” he said firmly.
As expected, the video clips exploded across social media, sparking fierce debate. While some online insisted that dealing with paparazzi is just “part of the game” for celebrities, others sympathised with Bieber’s outburst. One person wrote, “Kinda sad to see when you put it in context of everything he’s gone through.”
