The speculation surrounding Justin Bieber’s birthday party favor at his 29th birthday celebration stirred controversy among fans, particularly regarding its potential connection to his ex-girlfriend Selena Gomez.

The party favor in question was a $424 Twojeys lighter engraved with the phrase, “I’m so grateful that I didn’t end up with what I thought I wanted.” Some fans interpreted this inscription as a subtle dig at Gomez and their past relationship, leading to social media discussions and criticism directed at Justin and his wife, Hailey Bieber.

Many fans expressed disapproval of the present, with some accusing Justin and Hailey of indirectly referencing Gomez and their relationship through the inscription. Others defended Justin, suggesting that the quote could have various interpretations and may not necessarily be about Gomez.

In response to the controversy, Gomez addressed the situation on her TikTok, expressing that her “heart has been heavy” and urging her followers to be kinder and considerate of others’ mental health.

Overall, the incident reignited discussions and speculation about the dynamics between Justin Bieber, Hailey Bieber, and Selena Gomez, highlighting the ongoing interest and scrutiny surrounding their personal lives within the public sphere.
