Justin Bieber is setting the record straight about those infamous paparazzi photos snapped of him while he cried on the streets of New York City back in 2018.

On Monday, the 25-year-old “Yummy” singer opened up about the pictures in the ninth installment of Justin Bieber: Seasons, his 10-part YouTube Originals docuseries.

The images had made headlines back in August 2018 when they were first published. They showed Bieber’s now-wife Hailey Baldwin comforting her then-fiancé as he held his face in his hands, tears streaming down his cheeks. Beside the duo were a pair of CitiBikes, which they had been riding around Manhattan.

At the time, fans spread rumors that Bieber was in the middle of a breakdown of sorts, and that he and Baldwin were having relationship troubles (she was seen crying in pictures shot later that day).

But looking back on it, Bieber wrote the tears off as nothing unusual.

“I’m just being a normal person and crying,” he said.
