Justin Bieber is no longer following his longtime friend and former mentor Usher. According to The Sun, the 30-year-old pop superstar appears to have unfollowed Usher on Instagram recently. Bieber's follower list confirms that he is no longer following the 46-year-old singer, but Usher's Instagram page confirms that he still follows the younger performer.

The Baby singer — who is reportedly plotting a musical comeback tour for later this year — also appeared to have unfollowed several other people who had been a major part of his orbit in previous years. DailyMail.com has reached out to representatives for both Bieber and Usher for comment.

Fans noticed that Bieber was no longer following Usher just over a week after eagle-eyed users noticed that he was no longer following his former manager Scooter Braun.

Usher formed the Raymond–Braun Media Group (RBMG) with former music manager Scooter Braun in 2008 to sign Bieber, and he helped shape the singer's early career; seen in 2011 in NYC. However, Braun had also deactivated his Instagram account at the time, which would have also removed him from Bieber's list of followed accounts.

Fans also noticed that Bieber was no longer following Allison Kaye, his former manager from SB Projects, as well as Kenny Hamilton, who served as his bodyguard for a short time in the late 2000s. Poo Bear, a singer–songwriter who served on a producer on several of Justin's albums — including his most recent, 2021's Justice — received similar treatment.
