Justin Bieber revives Deez Nuts meme during viral $10m Coachella set

by

Okay, I was at Coachella 2026 and Justin Bieber absolutely killed it! Seriously, his first headlining set was insane. He trolled everyone in the best way by dropping the ‘Deez Nuts’ meme, then totally recreated that hilarious ‘standing on business’ clip. But the coolest part? He basically turned a chunk of his set into a giant YouTube watch party, playing snippets of his old videos. It was such a fun, unexpected move and everyone went wild!

Justin Bieber performed Saturday night in Indio, marking a major return to live performances. There was a lot of anticipation for his set, especially with reports claiming he was earning $10 million for both Coachella weekends. Fans expected it to be one of the festival’s most talked-about shows.

Instead of a flashy performance, Bieber opted for a simpler show. He wore a hoodie, kept the stage setup minimal, and even spent some time sitting behind a laptop, showing YouTube videos on the big screens. This was a departure from the elaborate choreography and spectacle typically expected from a Coachella headliner.

Double Rainbow, Deez Nuts, & Standing on Business

The most viral moment of the show happened when Justin Bieber played a medley of classic internet videos – including the “Deez Nuts” Vine, the “Double Rainbow” video, and a clip of himself from 2025 being filmed by paparazzi. In that clip, he’d said, “It’s not clocking to you that I’m standing on business,” and he then recreated the line right there on stage.

The performance immediately received a lot of negative reactions on X (formerly Twitter) and Reddit. Many users joked that Justin Bieber had essentially tricked the festival crowd with a performance that felt like a simple karaoke session in front of thousands of people. Others pointed out that a female pop star would likely have faced much stronger criticism for a headlining show with such limited production value, contrasting it with Sabrina Carpenter’s more refined performance.

Despite the criticism, many people still enjoyed the concert. Justin Bieber was joined on stage by several artists, including The Kid LAROI, Tems, Wizkid, Dijon, and Mk.gee. Some dedicated fans particularly appreciated the show’s personal and raw energy.
