Justin Bieber Wants To Change The Music Industry After How It Treated Him: ‘It Didn’t Always Protect My Soul’

by

In 2010, when Justin Bieber released his hit song “Baby,” he was just a young teenager suddenly exposed to the intense and often challenging world of fame. This world offered incredible opportunities, but also presented dangers and pressures most teenagers never experience. This Christmas Eve, Bieber shared his thoughts on how the music industry treated him and what changes he hopes to see, mirroring his own personal journey of growth and faith.

Over Christmas Eve, Justin Bieber shared a lengthy and honest post on Instagram about his life journey. He discussed how the entertainment industry – which he referred to as “the system” – had both benefited and negatively impacted him.

As a child, I was encouraged for my talent, but sometimes at the expense of my well-being. I often felt pressured and molded into something that wasn’t entirely my own choice. That experience left hidden emotional scars. I’ve struggled with anger and questioned my faith.

Justin Bieber has experienced a lot in his young life. Despite being only 31, reports suggest he once made and then lost around $90 million. Similar to Britney Spears, he’s largely stepped away from performing, although fans anticipate a return to the stage at Coachella. He’s also publicly struggled with anger, particularly when dealing with the paparazzi.

This year, past guidance he provided and his association with P. Diddy brought unwanted attention when the rapper was arrested and put on trial. His history of drug use is well-known, often confirmed by the singer himself. Rumors of difficulties in his marriage to Hailey Bieber surfaced after their son, Jack Blues Bieber, was born, with sources describing a “tense” atmosphere. While they’ve publicly dismissed these claims, reports of marital issues continue to circulate.

Even though the singer has gone through difficult times personally, he stated in his recent post that he doesn’t want to destroy the music industry. Instead, he hopes to see improvements that will help new artists avoid the challenges faced by those who quickly become famous. While he doesn’t offer specific fixes, it’s clear he’s not holding a grudge and is optimistic about the future of the industry for up-and-coming musicians.

I’m not trying to destroy the music business, but to rebuild it into something better – a place that’s fairer, more transparent, and more focused on people.

We often see Justin Bieber in the headlines for his misbehavior, but he also finds strength and peace through his faith. He and his wife, Hailey, attend Churchome, a church whose pastor has faced some scrutiny. However, in a recent Christmas Eve post, Bieber primarily talked about his beliefs and how his relationship with God and Jesus has helped him improve his life. Ultimately, he wanted to share what he’s learned.

The experiences I’ve had left their mark on me. I was raised in an environment that caused a lot of hurt, and that pain was genuine. However, I’m no longer defined by those past struggles; my faith in Jesus is what guides me now.

Justin Bieber has grown up – now a father and focused on personal growth through his faith. He’s publicly stated his desire to be a positive influence in the world, and it will be interesting to see what he accomplishes by 2026.
