Justin Bieber gave Sexyy Red a celebratory kiss on the cheek in honor of her birthday in a new video causing a stir with fans.

The “Lonely” singer, 31, shared a clip from the rapper’s 27th birthday party via his Instagram on Thursday, April 17.

In the short video, Justin can be seen leaning in to give Sexyy Red (real name: Janae Nierah Wherry) a cheeky smooch as she approached the star at a table he was seated at.

A second Instagram post featured Justin and Sexyy Red in a selfie and was shared via his Instagram grid and story. In the Instagram Story version of the selfie, Justin added Tupac’s song, “Unconditional Love” to the post.

Justin Bieber is seemingly unbothered after this morning’s debacle regarding his wife, Hailey Bieber, and an Instagram unfollow. Justin, 30, shared a selfie via Instagram Stories on Tuesday, January 21, set to the song “Bitch, Don’t Kill My Vibe” by Kendrick Lamar. Fans were quick to speculate that Justin was reacting to news from earlier […]

Over on Sexxy Red’s X account on Wednesday, April 16, she shared a clip from the party showing her dancing with Justin and wrote, “I love him.”

After the singer posted the video, fans flocked to the comments section to share their opinions on the kiss, with some labeling it “disrespectful” to his wife Hailey Bieber, 28, who he wed in 2019.

“I be damned if my husband kissing someone[‘s] cheek,” commented one follower, while another added, “The disrespect is crazyyyyy.”

However, there were also many followers who defended Justin and the kiss, and believed the singer wasn’t doing anything wrong.

“Not to be that guy but in Puerto Rican culture this is almost expected. He’s not Puerto Rican , but not everyone sees a cheek kiss greeting as disrespectful,” wrote one follower.

Another commenter thought some fans were making a mountain out of a molehill by being so offended by the post.

“It’s just a kiss on the cheek? yall r so dramatic fr,” they wrote, while another chimed in with, “If his wife ain’t tripping about it why the f*** are you? You’re not married to Justin Bieber.”

Justin and Hailey sent the rumor mill into overdrive in recent weeks when eagled-eye fans spotted on March 30 that Hailey was no longer following her husband on Instagram.

But all was not as it appeared – Us Weekly confirmed in March that Justin deactivated and then reactivated his account — which threw the cache system into a glitch.

UPDATE 1/21 at 10:10 AM ET: Justin Bieber clarified that he wasn’t the one to unfollow wife Hailey Bieber on Instagram. “Someone went on my account and unfollowed my wife,” he wrote via Instagram Story on Tuesday, January 21. “S— is getting suss out here.” Original story below: The clarification came after fans realized that […]

Hailey responded to speculation surrounding the apparent “unfollowing” saga, and confirmed it was not intentional by either herself or Justin.

“It’s a glitch. Didn’t unfollow him. Hope this helps!” Hailey wrote via a TikTok comment on March 31 in response to a video discussing the Instagram “unfollow” and what it potentially meant.

Earlier this month, Hailey attended the third annual Fashion Trust Awards, held on April 8, in West Hollywood.

Justin did not accompany her to the event but publicly showed his support for his wife, with whom he shares son Jack Blues, 7 months, via Instagram.

The singer hyped up his life partner by sharing a photo of Hailey that showed off her stunning look, as well as a close-up selfie of the Rhode beauty mogul.
