Sexyy Red has come to Justin Bieber‘s defense after fans said he looked happier with her than wife Hailey Bieber.

The 27-year-old rapper celebrated her April 15 birthday days ago at a strip club in Los Angeles, with 31-year-old Bieber in attendance.

Both music artists shared footage from the soiree on Instagram, which included a clip of the Yummy singer kissing Sexyy on the cheek and smiling from ear-to-ear.

Critical fans flocked to the comments of both posts, calling out Justin for ‘having 90% fun without his wife.’

One person wrote on Sexyy’s, born Janae Nierah Wherry, post, ‘Justin don’t be smiling like that with his girl.’

She quickly stood up for the Canadian crooner and his marriage, replying defiantly, ‘Yes he do!!’

One person wrote on Sexyy’s, born Janae Nierah Wherry, post, ‘Justin don’t be smiling like that with his girl.’ She quickly stood up for the Canadian crooner and his marriage, replying defiantly, ‘Yes he do!!’

Red’s post featured the friendly caption, ‘My two personalities… [thanks] for comin friend @justinbieber. HAPPY BIRTHDAY 2 DA BADDEST.’

For her part, 28-year-old Hailey has proven she’s unbothered by the interaction.

She commented on her husband’s post, dropping three heart-eye emojis in the comments to show her support.

The Biebers tied the knot in a courthouse ceremony in 2018, before hosting family and friends at a traditional wedding the following year.

In August 2024 they welcomed their first child, son Jack Blues Bieber, whose identity they have kept from the public.

While hordes of social media users piled on about Justin’s supposed ‘inappropriate’ behavior with the Get It Sexyy hitmaker, others offered a supportive perspective.

‘The kiss and side hug was definitely a friendly one… y’all are reaching with the “have some respect” comments,’ wrote one person.

Someone else added in all caps, ‘We love to see you happy like this.’

Another positive note read: ‘That smile is 10000 % authentic. Love seeing happy people smiling. Smile on, my friend, smile on.’

Earlier this week, through his team, Justin slammed reports claiming he is broke.

Reps for the pop star called the claims ‘clickbait stupidity’ coming from false insiders who are sour over no longer work with the singer.

The statement was in response a Hollywood Reporter article published on Wednesday, in which a former employee from Bieber’s team claimed he is millions of dollars in debt after cancelling his Justice World Tour in 2022.

In a statement shared with Us Weekly, Bieber’s inner circle vehemently denied the allegations.

‘This is just clickbait stupidity based on unnamed — and clearly ill-informed — ‘sources’ disappointed that they no longer work with Justin,’ the message read.
