Justin Bieber has shared a cryptic personal message in which he says he “hates” himself when he feels himself becoming “inauthentic”.The vulnerable comments were made in an Instagram post this weekend (March 22), alongside a seemingly light-hearted video of himself and friends – including Jensen McRae – playing a psychedelic jam on keyboard, drums and other instruments around a pool table in his Beverly Hills home.“I think I hate myself sometimes when I feel myself start to become inauthentic,” he wrote in the caption to the post. “Then I remember we’re all being made to think we’re not enough but I still hate when I change myself to please people.”A post shared by Justin Bieber (@justinbieber)Bieber’s comments seem to chime with another post he sent earlier this month, in which he addressed his struggles with feeling like a “fraud” on social media. “People told me my whole life ‘wow Justin u deserve that’ and I personally have always felt unworthy.

Like I was a fraud.”“Like when people told me I deserve something,” he continued. “It made me feel sneaky like ‘Damn if they only knew my thoughts, how judgemental I am, how selfish I really am, they wouldn’t be saying this’.

I say all this to say: If you feel sneaky, welcome to the club. I definitely feel unequipped and unqualified most days.”Late last month, the Canadian singer was seen rapping about being high, sparking concern from the public.

The clip came just days after a representative for the ‘Stay’ singer shut down online rumours of drug use, branding the comments as “false” and “harmful”.In a statement shared with Rolling Stone, the spokesperson said that the public’s fixation on the artist’s health is “exhausting and pitiful and shows that despite the obvious.
