Justin Bieber’s subtle node on social media sent fans into disbelief as he revived the 2016 trend.
The trend began with several actors and media personalities sharing images from 2016 to mark the decade.
Notably, the 31-year-old singer was caught lurking on one of his own Instagram posts from the past.
The post featured his then-girlfriend from 2016, Selena Gomez, as he ‘liked’ one of the comments.
This made the Baby hitmaker under debate as fans of the couple noticed the sudden ‘like’ appearing on top of the comment.
Fans from years ago began speculating about the status of his relationship with wife Hailey Bieber.
Moreover, the throwback emphasised recent speculations of a rift between Justin and the Rhode founder as they were refuted by lawyers.
Someone punched, “he’s taking the “2026 is the new 2016” trend VERY seriously,” and “b-but Hailey Bieber told me 2016 was their year.”
A third chimed in, “I mean we get it it’s The Selena Gomez but he gotta let it go and grow tf up omg, wtf is he doing,” and “the fact that this is legit is crazy. hailey bieber stays embarrassing herself she should’ve left longggg ago,” wrote another.
These marriage-woes conjectures contribute to the age-old debate on their marriage, and Justin challenged this in his album Swag.
