On October 4, 2024, Justin Bieber drove his Tesla and was photographed wearing a red turban as he left the Chateau Marmont in Los Angeles- Credit:MHD Avalon
The incident attracted the attention of numerous international newspapers, especially considering that the 30-year-old singer had previously been accused of sharing and deleting a pro-Israel post on his Instagram account after the attack on October 7, 2023. The caption reads "Pray for Israel," incorrectly misidentifying the destroyed area as "Israel." Since then, he has remained largely silent on the escalating conflict.
It also caught the attention of European newspapers, with German newspaper Bild writing: "Justin, do you really know what you're wearing? "Is this an attempt to send a political message?" Bild's criticism failed to recognize the significance and history of the hijab, questioning whether Bieber was making a political statement. The paper suggested that public figures should avoid getting involved in contemporary social and political issues. Bild also highlighted Bieber's huge social media presence, noting that he has 295 million followers on Instagram and suggesting that his influence could influence public opinion.
