- In a teaser for an upcoming episode of the “Call Her Daddy” podcast, Hailey promises to address everything. From her relationship timeline with Justin to those never-ending accusations that she "stole" him from Selena.
Of course, Colombo, if you’re here, you’re clearly craving the real tea, and trust me this one’s hot enough to steam up the windows of your penthouse. Justin Bieber, the prince of pop turned husband and (maybe?) heartbroken ex, has been making headlines again, and yes, it’s all about her; Selena Gomez. Are we really surprised? Not even a little bit. So, grab your oat milk lattes and cancel your afternoon Pilates. It’s time to unpack the saga that’s reawakening Jelena-era chaos, one cryptic meme and TikTok leak at a time. Buckle up, because this story’s got more layers than a Gossip Girl wedding scandal.
The Curious Case of “Benny”
It all started with a song; or so we thought.
TikTok exploded this week when a track allegedly featuring Justin Bieber’s voice started making the rounds. The lyrics? Oh, just a casual drag of Selena Gomez, her fiancé Benny Blanco, and even a subtle swipe at Hailey Bieber. Fans were gagged. Could Justin really be airing out his feelings in such a raw and dramatic fashion?
Spoiler alert: he wasn’t.
The song, titled “Benny,” was actually created by Hope Godwin, a content creator with an eerily accurate Bieber impression. Produced by Justin Bernardez, the track was crafted as a parody though with the emotional punch of a real Bieber ballad. They weren’t trying to fool anyone, but when something sounds this real, the internet does what it does best: spiral. Naturally, Beliebers and Selenators alike went into full meltdown mode. Some fans started theorizing that Justin was involved and just wanted to distance himself for damage control. Others were more intrigued by the possibility that the song captured how Justin might really feel about Selena and Benny’s engagement. Real or not, the song struck a nerve. So much so, Hope and Bernardez are now planning to drop the full version end April. You better believe it’s going straight into breakup playlists across the globe.
Meme Shade or Just Bad Timing?
If that wasn’t enough to set the rumor mill ablaze, Justin himself decided to toss a little gasoline on the fire. In a now-deleted Instagram Story, Biebs posted a meme of Gollum from Lord of the Rings, captioned: “Girls on social media when they get engaged.” Fans immediately took this as a dig at Selena, who recently announced her engagement to none other than Benny Blanco. (And no, this isn’t fanfiction. This is real life.) The post was up just long enough to send fans into full detective mode. Was it shade? A joke? A drunk post-and-delete moment? Whatever it was, the message felt pretty pointed and considering Justin’s known for being pretty private lately, the timing was… suspicious.
And here’s the kicker: Selena and Benny’s engagement wasn’t just another celebrity announcement. It came with months of low-key love, Instagram cuddles, and Benny proudly calling Selena “the love of my life.” Ouch. Naturally, people wondered how Hailey felt about all this; especially as Justin was being accused of acting bitter toward his ex. When you’re married and starting a family, dropping engagement memes about your ex, tends to raise a few brows.
Hailey Breaks the Silence
Enter Hailey Bieber. Always polished, always poised, and finally; ready to speak.
In a teaser for an upcoming episode of the “Call Her Daddy” podcast, Hailey promises to address everything. From her relationship timeline with Justin to those never-ending accusations that she “stole” him from Selena. Let’s be real: the Hailey vs. Selena narrative has had a chokehold on pop culture for years. But now? We might finally get the real story. The internet is already split. Some think Hailey’s ready to clear her name once and for all. Others think this is a PR move to soften the backlash Justin’s getting after that not-so-subtle meme. But one thing’s clear - this interview is going to set the internet on fire. And with Selena always opting for silence and serenity (and maybe a little passive-aggressive TikTok), Hailey’s version might be the only side we get.
Benny vs. Biebs: The Fallout
Now, let’s talk bromance or rather, the lack thereof.
Before Benny Blanco was serenading Selena in the kitchen, he and Justin Bieber were close. Like, studio-session, inside-joke, “post each other on the ‘gram” close. But ever since Benny became more than friends with Justin’s ex, the vibe has definitely shifted. Sources say Justin’s been keeping his distance, even allegedly ghosting mutual friends when Benny’s name comes up. Could it be heartbreak? Jealousy? Or just the awkwardness of your former collaborator dating your famous ex?
Whispers around Hollywood say that Justin hoped for some kind of reconnection with Selena if not romantically, then at least in the form of peace. But when she and Benny started dating in 2023, any chance of that reportedly evaporated. And as their relationship grew stronger, Justin allegedly started pulling back from the scene. At this point, fans are wondering if Bieber will even show up to the couple’s wedding (if they go through with it). Because let’s be honest: would you want your ex, who might still be hung up on you, sitting in the pews while you say, “I do”? Yeah… didn’t think so.
Fans Have Entered the Chat
All across TikTok, X (formerly Twitter), and Instagram, fans have plenty to say. Here are some of the spiciest takes:
“Justin Bieber has been married for years and still can’t get over Selena… bro pls.”
“I don’t care what anyone says that song ‘Benny’ sounds exactly like how Justin would feel.”
“If you’re posting Gollum memes about engagements while you have a baby, maybe it’s time for therapy.”
“Benny Blanco won twice. Got the girl and managed to avoid drama. King.”
It’s clear that public opinion is as divided as ever. Team Jelena purists are spiraling. Team Hailey is gearing up for the podcast reveal. And the rest of us? We’re just here for the popcorn.
So, What Now?
Here’s what we know: Justin Bieber may not have written “Benny,” but he’s very much in the conversation. Between suspicious memes, fading friendships, and a past that refuses to stay buried, the drama is far from over. And as for Selena? She’s glowing, she’s engaged, and she’s reportedly unfazed. Whether or not that’s true is anyone’s guess, but if history has taught us anything, it’s that she’ll keep it classy while the rest of the internet burns. One thing’s for sure; this isn’t the last we’ve heard of the Biebs, Benny, and the brunette at the center of it all.
