Justin Bieber was spotted leaving the storied Chateau Marmont over the weekend in Los Angeles.
The 30-year-old pop star — who had close ties with troubled mogul Diddy as a teen— wore what appeared to be a red-and-white keffiyeh around his head and a heather gray hooded sweatshirt.
The patterned patterned piece is a symbol of solidarity with Palestine, and the singer’s choice to wear it comes amid Israel’s year-long offensive on Gaza.
Bieber had previously shared — and then deleted — a post in support of Israel shortly after Hamas‘ attack on October 7, 2023. He has remained largely silent about the bombardment since then.
As of October 3, Gaza’s Ministry of Health says more than 41,000 Palestinians have been 𝓀𝒾𝓁𝓁ed in Israeli attacks, though that figure does not distinguish between civilians and combatants.
The new father, who welcomed son Jack Blues with wife Hailey Bieber in August, sported a scruffy beard and tiny diamond hoop earrings.
Recent reports detail that a ‘stressed’ Justin is desperately trying to shut out mounting speculation about his connection with Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs.
Sources close to Bieber have told Daily Mail that he ‘should never have been allowed to party with Diddy or anyone else when he was a teen.’
