30th March 2023, Mumbai: Justin Bieber is said to be contemplating leaving the music industry, as per reports. The Canadian pop icon has allegedly sold his entire music collection for a sum of $200 million, which has further fueled the rumours of his retirement.

The insider added that the pop star desires to retreat from the spotlight with his wife, Hailey, and take a break to enjoy his wealth.

The source added that the stressors in their union go beyond the attention garnered by Justin’s past relationship with his ex-girlfriend Selena Gomez.
