Justin Bieber seemed to be in better spirits on his latest outing days after showing signs of strain amid the Diddy scandal and Liam Payne‘s death.

The 30-year-old Canadian crooner was seen cracking a smile and even belting out hearty laughter on his latest outing.

The Baby hitmaker was seen sitting in the passenger of his Cybertruck while out in West Hollywood on Thursday.

He was not alone – and perhaps was talking about a future project – as he was joined by popular music video Cole Bennett.

This came days after showing signs of strain amid the Diddy scandal and Liam Payne ‘s death

Justin rocked a beanie and vintage silver Oakley shades featuring mirrored lenses.

He also sported a grey jacket with baggy green sweatpants and sneakers.

Just days ago Justin appeared to show strain alongside wife Hailey as they drove their same Cybertruck in Beverly Hills on Monday.

The hitmaker opted for the passenger seat while Hailey, 27, sat behind the wheel as they left an office building together in their sleek Tesla vehicle.

The outing comes after the Canadian crooner paid a somber tribute to Liam Payne following his shock death at 31. Justin has also been grappling with the arrest of former mentor Sean ‘Diddy‘ Combs, who was charged with 𝓈ℯ𝓍 trafficking last month.

The anguished singer wore a casual green sweater and a Yankees baseball hat. Meanwhile Hailey opted for a black pair of sunglasses and a matching black leather jacket.

The new parents — who welcomed their first 𝘤𝘩𝘪𝘭𝘥, son Jack, in August — were seen speaking before they zoomed out of the parking lot and drove off.

Justin and Hailey’s outing comes after the singer paid heartbreaking tribute to Liam – five days after his tragic death.

Justin, who alongside the boyband dominated the charts in the 2010s, shared a somber video of floral tributes and messages laid in Liam’s memory – with the message: ‘Rest easy, Liam.’ This was followed by a broken heart emoji.

The One Direction star plunged from the third floor of the Casa Sur Hotel in Buenos Aires, Argentina on Wednesday, and died instantly from multiple injuries that led to ‘internal and external haemorrhaging’.

A voiceover on the clip said: ‘Just remember: you are allowed to grieve as a fan. You are allowed to love someone you’ve never met.

‘You are allowed to admire someone for their art. You are allowed, to cry, to break, to feel like a part of you is gone.’

Liam and Justin had a chart rivalry which became a fully fledged feud after a YouTube video showed Payne appearing to make a dig at the Canadian singer.

But, despite their initial feud, Liam previously revealed how he and Bieber eventually connected and learnt they had much more in common than their boyish charm and good looks.

In a segment on a podcast with YouTube star Logan Paul filmed in 2022, which has resurfaced in the wake of his tragic death, the One Direction member revealed he had reached out to Bieber in an attempt to end the feud, and alluded to some of the striking parallels between the pair in the early days of their careers.

The British boyband sold more than 70 million records worldwide while Bieber has sold more than 150 million.

Speaking on Logan Paul’s podcast Impaulsive, Payne told his side of the story as he recalled speaking on Instagram while ‘drunk’, when somebody mentioned Bieber’s name.

Payne recalled: ‘I was like, “well the only thing between me and him is I haven’t been arrested”,’ noting in the same breath that he didn’t ever intend to offend Bieber.

He added: ‘It started some beef.’

Payne recalled how the feud, which began online, began to spill into real life because One Direction and Bieber shared some fans and the stars themselves would often bump into each other at awards ceremonies.

However, he noted one particular awards ceremony when both the band and Bieber were there, and Liam thought: ‘I’ll have a chat with him’ in order to settle the conflict.

Speaking about Bieber at the time, Liam noted: ‘He had grown as a person.’

He then recalled telling Bieber: ‘I’ve always felt for you… number one, I’ve done all the things that you’ve done and I’ve never been caught for any of them… number two, I’ve always really felt for you, mate, and I think in our situation we all suffer from the same disease.’

He then claimed he told the Canadian singer how, while he was able to lean on his bandmates in times of strife, Bieber was a solo artist who may not have had the same support system.

The singer also recently sparked concern for his health, after troubling videos of him and ex-mentor Diddy resurfaced following the hip hop mogul’s indictment; they are seen in 2010

Payne claims Bieber’s response was: ‘Bro, that’s given me chills.’ From there, the pair became friends.

On Sunday, Justin posted to Instagram for the first time since the arrest of his one-time mentor, Diddy, with a combination of pictures of himself and bird-related images.

In the case regarding Combs, the embattled music mogul was hit Monday with a new wave of lawsuits accusing him of raping women, 𝓈ℯ𝓍ually assaulting men and molesting a 16-year-old boy – the first time he’s been sued by a person alleging they were abused as a minor.

At least six lawsuits were filed against Combs in federal court in Manhattan, adding to a growing list of legal claims against the indicted hip-hop mogul, all of which he has denied.

Speaking exclusively to DailyMail.com in September, an insider said that new dad Bieber has been completely ‘thrown’ by the harrowing allegations and is grappling to make sense of them – especially given that he collaborated with Combs less than a year ago.

The source said of the fragile singer: ‘Bieber is so disturbed by the Diddy news and is unwilling to process it or discuss it so he has shut off.’

‘So many people who helped to make him who he is were very close to Diddy and it has completely thrown him.’

The insider added that Bieber also deeply regrets having collaborated with the disgraced mogul last year, and would never have done so had he known the allegations that have since come to light.
