Justin Bieber has recently been the subject of rumors about a possible relapse into substance use, sparked by recent photos of him circulating online. The speculation grew after pictures taken in New York showed him looking unkempt and, above all, extremely tired, with dark circles under his eyes and an overall exhausted appearance.

To clear things up, someone close to Bieber stepped in to deny the rumors. According to this source, his tired look is simply due to long hours in the studio, the pressures of social media, and his full commitment to helping care for a baby—all with the support of his wife, Hailey Bieber.

On March 1, Bieber celebrated his 31st birthday surrounded by family and friends. Notably, all of his guests were men, as seen in the photos he shared from the event. The only woman present was his wife, Hailey.

One thing these pictures make clear is that Bieber is focused on writing new music, still smokes openly, and hasn’t lost his sense of humor, even jokingly wearing a wig left behind by DJ Tay James. But despite everything, one big question still remains…

Who is Eddie Benjamin?

One of the musicians working with Justin Bieber is Eddie Benjamin, whom Bieber recently highlighted in a solo post. He even shared a video of Eddie playing the electric guitar, showing off his impressive skills.

Eddie Benjamin is an Australian singer, songwriter, and producer based in Los Angeles, California. At just 23 years old, he has already collaborated with artists like Meghan Trainor, Earth, Wind & Fire, and Shawn Mendes. He also has a strong connection with Justin Bieber, having joined him as an opening act on the Justice World Tour in 2022.

What’s really interesting is how Bieber discovered him—through a video Eddie posted on Instagram. Bieber was so impressed by his talent that he reached out to him, eventually becoming a mentor and supporter of his career.

In Next Chapter, Bieber’s documentary, the two appear together talking about the challenges of being a young artist and even performing an acoustic duet, giving fans a glimpse of their musical bond.

More Than Just a Musician

Along with being a talented multi-instrumentalist and producer, Eddie Benjamin has also been making a name for himself as a solo artist. He released his debut EP Emotional in 2021, followed by Weatherman in 2023. Just last month, he dropped his latest track, ‘Maniac,’ further proving his artistic growth.

His career has been just as diverse as his talent—you might see him on tour with Shawn Mendes, in the studio with Willow Smith, or performing on Jimmy Kimmel Live! alongside Alessia Cara. He also gained attention for his past relationship with Maddie Ziegler, the dancer known for her work with Sia.

With a rising career, undeniable talent, and a close connection with Justin Bieber, Eddie Benjamin is quickly becoming an artist to watch.
