When Justin Bieber Shared His Thoughts On Being Famous At An Early Age And Called It ‘Toughest Thing In The World’

by

As a dedicated follower of Justin Bieber‘s journey, I have to say that his life has been nothing short of a rollercoaster ride. From becoming a global sensation at the tender age of 15 to battling the demons that come with fame, Justin’s story is one that resonates deeply with me.

16-year-old pop star Justin Bieber, known for catchy tunes like Baby, Friends, and One Time, began his music journey when he was signed to RBMG Records in 2008. He gained widespread recognition following the release of his debut album, My World, in 2009.

90’s children would recall JB’s tunes and the excitement he sparked when his first studio album, My World 2.0 (released in 2010), peaked at number one on the US Billboard 200, making him the youngest solo male artist to achieve this feat in over four decades.

Nevertheless, just like the saying goes, it was challenging for the young star to gain fame. In a past interview with Billboard, the 21-year-old artist openly acknowledged that experiencing fame before maturity is the most difficult thing one could encounter.

 

As an ardent enthusiast, I couldn’t help but confess the chaotic nature of this celebrity life, a far cry from what I had envisioned. The harsh reality is that being thrust into the spotlight at a tender age can stunt a young one’s mental growth in ways I never imagined possible within the realm of show business.

He illustrated using Kylie Jenner as an example, explaining, “Growing up on television like she did, her environment is the world of TV. With cameras always around, it influences her thoughts and perceptions about people. This is why she often feels compelled to act in certain ways… Experiences like these can shape one’s mind, particularly in this industry, and even more so for young women.”

Back in the day, as reported by The Guardian, I, a die-hard fan, found myself resonating deeply with Bieber’s confession. He shared that fame had come close to obliterating him entirely. In his own words, he felt adrift and would often repeat these self-deprecating thoughts: “You don’t measure up. People despise you.”

Since his debut as a teenager over five years ago, Justin Bieber earned an impressive $58 million between June 2012 and June 2013, according to Forbes. After this period, he announced his retirement and stepped away from live performances and major public events; however, this break was only temporary.

 

Bieber’s life journey is deeply intertwined with the internet, offering him opportunities as well as challenges. On one hand, he gained popularity through online fanbase and streaming success; on the other, this same platform subjected him to harsh criticism.

Three decades back, you could’ve come across his name in teenage publications or spotted him on television music and talk programs; that would have marked the extent of your interaction. However, in today’s digital era, social media platforms allow us to follow and monitor every step a celebrity takes.

Additionally, following an abrupt exit from a performance in Norway, where he declared to the audience, “I’ve had enough. I’m not going to do the show,” it was reported that he refrained from live concerts until the year 2024.

In the vibrant year of 2024, I find myself standing tall yet humbled on another career peak. Just a few months ago, I had the extraordinary opportunity to grace the stage in the bustling city of Mumbai, India. This wasn’t just any performance; it was part of an extravagant wedding orchestrated by none other than Mukesh Ambani, the illustrious 9th richest individual globally. It was an experience that I will forever cherish and a testament to the enduring power of music to transcend boundaries.

2024 saw me, your ever-devoted fan, jumping for joy as I learned that my beloved idol, Justin Bieber, had welcomed a new addition to his family! His baby boy, Jack Blues Bieber, came into the world on August 23, gracing us all with this wonderful news. Of course, he shared the delightful announcement through his Instagram account – just as I knew he would!
