A shady favor? Justin Bieber has been accused of handing out a gift at his birthday party that doubles a serious dig at ex Selena Gomez.
The “Yummy” singer — who turned 29 on Wednesday, March 1, and celebrated his birthday over the weekend — handed out silver lighters at the festivities that were engraved with a cryptic quote.
“I’m so thankful that I didn’t end up with what I thought I wanted,” the metal lighters read, as seen in a photo shared by Bieber’s close friend and music video director Alfredo Flores via social media.
Fans immediately began theorizing that the etching was about Gomez — and felt that it inadvertently slammed Justin’s wife, Hailey Bieber (née Baldwin), in the process.
“Admitting that your wife was your second choice on your birthday is crazy lmao selena truly lives in his mind rent free,” one Twitter user wrote. “@justinbieber hitting an all time low on his 29th birthday. Getting pettier every year,” another person penned.
Still, others felt that the sentiment was positive — or that it held a different meaning.

“Can’t believe people are interpreting this negatively. justin is saying he’s grateful for the life he has as is,” said one fan. “Or he could be talking about something else or his mental health. be fr. its been 10 years. let it go,” commented another user.
The Grammy winner has been married to Hailey since 2018, but continues to be involved with drama surrounding the Only Murders in the Building star, 30, even five years after splitting for good following years of on-and-off relationship woes.
Gomez and Hailey, 26, raised eyebrows late last month when they appeared to be feuding via social media.
