Bieber Bares All: Star's Shirtless Shenanigans at Gunna's Release Party Raise Eyebrows

It didn't take long for Justin Bieber to remove his shirt while attending Gunna's release party for his sixth studio album The Last Wun, which was held at West Hollywood nightclub Zouk on Wednesday night

Justin Bieber Unleashes His Inner Party Animal at Gunna's Album Release Bash

It seems like Justin Bieber has finally shed his wholesome image, and we couldn't be more thrilled! The 31-year-old pop sensation made a splash at Gunna's release party for his sixth studio album "The Last Wun" at the exclusive West Hollywood nightclub Zouk on Wednesday night. And by splash, we mean he ripped off his shirt and got wild with his bros.

The party animal Bieber was spotted clutching a bottle of Clase Azul México tequila in the middle of the packed crowd, looking like he just rolled out of bed (which, let's be real, might have been the case). His tattooed torso and sleeves were on full display as he grinned at one lucky fan while greeting his buddies. It was clear that Bieber was more interested in having a good time with his bros than mingling with the five women who were hanging out nearby.

But what's new about this party boy behavior, right? Well, it seems like Justin has been working on his sobriety for years, and we're not sure if he's still on the wagon. After all, Gunna's album release party is the kind of event that usually comes with a healthy dose of tequila-fueled shenanigans.

For those who may have forgotten (or chosen to ignore), Gunna was involved in a 56-count RICO case against Young Thug and his crew back in 2022. He pleaded down to an Alford plea deal, which allowed him to walk free without cooperating with authorities. Now, he's back in the game with a new album and a fresh start.

But we're not here to talk about Gunna – we're here for Justin Bieber! The pop star arrived at the venue looking like a true hipster, rocking a large white T-shirt over retro wide-leg blue jeans and $350 Duke + Dexter 'Wilde Kiss' penny loafers. He's certainly dressed for success (or at least, partying with his friends).

In other news, Justin has been quite vocal about his faith in recent weeks. On Tuesday, he wrote on social media: "Grateful for a new day. Grateful for Jesus... He meets me every morning with forgiveness and love that I truly don't deserve." And just the day before, he posted about praying away feelings of guilt and wanting to grow in his awareness of God and selflessness.

But let's be real – we're not here for Justin's spiritual awakening; we're here for his party antics! On Monday, he dropped a new music video with his friend Rory Kramer, which features him hanging out in Iceland, smoking, snowboarding, and even stripping down to his tighty whities to go from a hot tub to a cold plunge in a nearby lake. Talk about taking the phrase "baptism by fire" to a whole new level!

As Justin was partying with Gunna, his wife Hailey Baldwin Bieber was out having a girls' night out with her gal pals Kendall Jenner, Kylie Jenner, Bella Hadid, and Alex Consani at Alba, an Italian restaurant in the area. We wonder if she's okay with her husband's latest antics.

And while there were about five women mingling nearby, Bieber seemed far more focused on his bros at the boozy bash

The power couple has been married for six years now, but it looks like their relationship dynamics have changed since Hailey sold her skincare/cosmetics company Rhode to e.l.f Cosmetics for a cool $1 billion last May. And speaking of new ventures, Justin's athleisure clothing line SKYLRK just launched on July 10 – good timing, considering his recent behavior.

But let's not forget the drama that went down when Justin's manager Scooter Braun and "swagger coach" Ryan Good were suddenly fired from their positions alongside business partner Neima Khaila and 3D design consultant Finn Rush-Taylor. Not to mention the fact that he recently got rid of his bodyguards Keith Gibbs, Eric Johnson, and security guard Kenny Hamilton.

We're not sure what's going on behind closed doors with this pop star, but one thing is for sure – Justin Bieber is back in party mode, and we couldn't be more excited (or concerned). As he said himself: "I wouldn't be able to get through the day without his love." We can only hope that someone is looking out for him.

Many in the hip-hop community labeled Gunna (R) a 'snitch' in 2022 when he accepted an Alford plea deal in order to walk free after being charged in a 56-count RICO case against Young Thug and 26 other members of the Young Stoner Life collective

The 32-year-old Grammy-nominated rapper had allegedly received stolen property and was in possession of drugs — including methamphetamine, marijuana, and hydrocodone — with the intent to distribute

Gunna (born Sergio Giavanni Kitchens) is featured on the two-time Grammy winner's new song Way It Is off his seventh studio album Swag, which is currently No. 5 on the US Billboard 200

Bieber - who boasts 607.8M social media followers - wrote Tuesday: 'Grateful for Jesus. He meets me every morning with forgiveness and love that I truly don't deserve'

He continued: 'So grateful that he gives this love so freely, so graciously. Wouldn't be able to get [through] the day without his love. It meets me at my lowest'

On Monday, the born-again Christian wrote about 'praying away the feeling of being wrong' and declared he wanted to grow in his 'awareness of God, selflessness, passion, faith, wonder, and love'

On Wednesday, Justin dropped his personal photographer Rory Kramer's b&w music video for First Place, in which he hangs out in Iceland smoking and snowboarding with his musician buddies

At one point, Bieber stripped down to his tighty whities to go from a hot tub to a cold plunge in a nearby lake where he performed one push-up

On August 22, the married couple of six years will celebrate the first birthday of their son Jack Blues Bieber (pictured last Saturday)
