Justin Bieber triggers controversy over alleged secret gig

Justin Bieber is under scrutiny following claims of a secret corporate gig at a luxury US hotel.

Based on latest reports, the event unfolded at a luxury US hotel, raising questions over private corporate ties, the attendees are said to include figures linked to Palantir Technologies.

According to the International Business Times, the buzz intensified after an employee at the hotel allegedly shared internal details online, including a schedule referencing a “Justin Bieber Special Performance - Manor Bar & Veranda” at 8:15 pm.

The post quickly spread across X (formerly Twitter), fuelling speculation.

The employee captioned the image with a comparison to a festival experience, writing, “[You]: pay $2k for Bieberchella; [Me]: show up to work on Wednesday,” implying the performance occurred mid-week at the luxury venue.

The leaked schedule also listed names including Trevor Noah, Julia Roberts and Oprah Winfrey as attendees.

However, debate followed over the nature of the event, with some users disputing the Palantir connection and pointing to a separate listing for WNDR26, a travel start-up, suggesting it may not have been a tech-hosted function. “This is incorrect. Any business invites heads of businesses… It was not a Palantir event.”

It is pertinent to mention, Bieber has not publicly commented on the reports yet.
