Justin Bieber's recent bizarre antics and his decision to abandon his Drew House brand have fueled fears among his ex-friends and fans, as per a report by Page Six.

According to reports by TMZ, Ryan Good, the co-founder and creative director of Justin Bieber's fashion brand, Drew House, has not spoken to the pop star in over a year due to worries about his pastor, Judah Smith.

After Ryan Good left Bieber’s house of worship, Churchome in Beverly Hills, California, where Smith serves on the leadership team, the two allegedly stopped communicating.

According to the insiders, Bieber's relationship with Judah Smith was "a big factor in their separation," and Good thought the church was a cult.

A few years ago, Justin appointed Smith to the Drew House board, despite their alleged conflict with Good, which the sources described as "weird" because the pastor is not a businessman.

Why are fans worried about Justin’s behaviour?

After witnessing the performer's strange recent behaviour, Good, who was also Bieber's road manager at one point, is reportedly "worried" about his old friend.

The former teen idol announced earlier this month that he had left Drew House and asked his followers to stop supporting the business, as quoted in a report by Page Six.

On top of a screen grab of Drew House's Instagram account, he wrote, "I, Justin Bieber, am no longer involved in this brand."

He went on to say, "Drew House doesn't represent me, my family, or my life." “Don’t waste your money on Drew House if you’re rocking with me, Justin Bieber the human.”

Fans have been worried about Bieber in recent months because of his strange public behaviour.

However, he was not under the influence of drugs at the time, according to his representative, who called the rumors "exhausting and pitiful."

The next month, Justin's eyelids looked droopy as he started rapping on Instagram Live. Concerns regarding the hitmaker's mental health were voiced by former close friends and colleagues, as per reports.
