On January 14, 2024, Justin Bieber and The Kid Laroi took the stage at OBB’s studio opening party in Los Angeles to perform their hit song “Stay.” The event was highly anticipated, drawing celebrities and fans eager to see the pop sensation in action. However, the night took an unexpected turn when Bieber, appearing visibly intoxicated, struggled to remember the lyrics to his own song.
As the duo launched into the performance, it quickly became apparent that Bieber was not in his best form. Slurring his words and missing cues, he relied heavily on The Kid Laroi to carry the performance. The young Australian rapper, maintaining his composure, seamlessly filled in the gaps, ensuring the show continued despite Bieber’s state.
Witnesses described the scene as both chaotic and endearing. “He was definitely drunk,” one attendee noted, “but the crowd was really supportive. Everyone was singing along to help him out.” Videos from the night show Bieber swaying on stage, a stark contrast to his usually polished performances.
Despite the mishap, the party was a success, with OBB’s new studio being the main attraction. Industry insiders mingled, celebrating the launch of what is expected to be a creative hub for future projects. Bieber’s unexpected performance became the highlight of the evening, generating buzz and adding to the night’s memorable moments.
This incident adds to a series of unpredictable live performances from Bieber in recent times. While some fans expressed concern over his behavior, others defended him, suggesting that the pressures of fame and a grueling schedule could take a toll on anyone.
In the days following the event, social media was ablaze with mixed reactions. Supporters flooded platforms with messages of encouragement, urging Bieber to take care of himself. Critics, on the other hand, voiced their disappointment, questioning his professionalism.
Regardless of opinions, one thing is clear: Justin Bieber remains a captivating figure in the music industry. His ability to draw attention, whether for his talent or his missteps, keeps him firmly in the public eye. As fans await his next move, the performance at OBB’s studio opening will undoubtedly be remembered as a wild chapter in Bieber’s storied career.
