In a surprising announcement, pop icon Justin Bieber, 30, has declared his retirement from music and plans to leave the U.S., citing a desire for privacy and new inspiration.

The decision follows a public dispute with Elon Musk over the ethics of artificial intelligence, with Bieber aligning with AI skeptics like Stephen Hawking, while Musk dismissed his concerns.

#Bieber, who rose to fame at 13 after being discovered on YouTube, achieved global success with hits like “Baby” and “Love Yourself.” Despite past personal struggles, he remained a major influence in the music world and a pioneer of social media-driven stardom. While he hasn’t revealed his next destination, sources suggest he may return to Canada or move to Europe. Fans and industry peers, including Usher and Scooter Braun, have voiced support. Though stepping away from music, Bieber’s legacy and impact continue to shape the entertainment industry.
