Maybe the soothing sounds of the Ocean put him to sleep?
Justin Bieber was caught pretending to be asleep on the set of Frank Ocean’s controversial Coachella on Sunday – despite the pop star’s claims he was “blown away” by the lead actor’s performance.
In a TikTok video shot by a music festival attendee friend, the R&B singer can be seen standing in the audience with his eyes closed while singing “At Your Best (You Are Love)”.
User @pineappleonpisa wrote “Justin Bieber can’t sleep on Frank’s set 😭😭😭😭” on top of the viral clip, and “it’s past bedtime.”
Fans expressed overwhelming disappointment that the 35-year-old Ocean started an hour late, performing mostly seated and with his back to the crowd, lip-syncing at some points, not adding a few fan favorites to the playlist, and suddenly swiping to comply. with the curfew.
But Bieber rushed to his Instagram followers on Monday to defend the “Ivy” hit producer, saying, “Frank Oceans Coachella performance really impressed me. His art is simply unique, his style, taste, voice, attention to detail… I was very impressed.”
Apparently the “Peaches” singer was so inspired by the set that it made her “want to continue and get better as an artist.”
Bieber, 29, praised his friend for continuing to “raise the bar” and thanked him for giving him “a night out”. [he] will never forget!”
It’s unclear when or why the comments section of the top person’s post was disabled, but why many social media users were asked “Bieber can defend Frank Ocean but not his own wife?”
The Canadian musician has kept his mouth shut during Hailey Bieber’s ongoing feud with ex-girlfriend Selena Gomez, but the beauty phenomenon doesn’t seem to be holding that against him.
In fact, Hailey was seen on the set of Kid Laroi’s Coachella the night before, comforting her distraught husband.
