Justin Bieber has officially gone from Biebs to LilBieber on Instagram, and fans are losing it. As of Thursday, June 26, 2025, the singer¡¯s IG handle now reads @lilbieber, and no, this is not a drill. No press release, no announcement, just a stealth name change and a whole load of speculation. Because when Justin does something subtle, the drama is anything but.
A fan account, @offmybieber, posted a screenshot of the change, and shortly after, Bieber, now rocking his new IG moniker, dropped a cryptic comment under the headline. No explanation. No denial. Just chaos. Obviously.
Netizens immediately grabbed their tinfoil hats and fired up the theories. One corner of the internet is convinced that LilBieber signals a long-awaited rap era. "Is he going full SoundCloud mode?" asked one user. Others are speculating this could be a soft launch for a solo reinvention, maybe post-Hailey?
Why? Because the Hailey x Justin divorce rumours are hotter than ever. The Rhode mogul has been spotted multiple times without her wedding ring, and fans cannot help but link the username shift to a possible identity pivot during their rumoured split.
While the username change screamed Gen Z chaos, Bieber¡¯s recent posts featuring his son Jack Blues added layers of mystery and sentiment. First came a blurry Father¡¯s Day pic of Jack¡¯s tiny hand clutching Justin¡¯s face. Then a carousel of black-and-white moments, baby on his back, snuggles on the sofa, all sans face reveal. The sentimental drip-feed feels like a direct message to the public: ¡°Yes, I am going through it, but look, here is my legacy.¡±
Jack Blues, born in 2024 and named after Justin¡¯s dad Jeremy Jack Bieber, has become the singer¡¯s quiet anchor amid the storm. While Hailey remains silent, Justin is leaning into dad mode with a vengeance.
At this point, anything is possible. A rap mixtape? A heartbreak ballad? A surprise collab with Drake called ¡°Custody¡±? Bieber is clearly in a transitional era, professionally and personally. Whether LilBieber marks the start of his Yeezus phase or just a chaotic username change during a tough year, fans are strapped in.
The question remains: Is LilBieber the new chapter or the final straw?
