Justin Bieber has opened up about his difficult experiences in the music industry. As a teenage sensation, he now hopes to shelter young talents like Billie Eilish from similar ordeals.

Despite remaining mum on the arrest of Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs for troubling charges, Justin previously offered mentorship to Billie when she was just budding into stardom, showing his protective instincts even back then.

In a touching chat with Zane Lowe on Apple Music in 2020, the “Baby” singer got visibly moved while discussing his tough early experiences with fame.

His voice trembled as he frankly talked about feeling abandoned and bewildered in the dog-eat-dog music world, reports the Express US. Bieber confessed: “It was hard for me being the music industry and being that young and not knowing where to turn and everyone, you know, telling me they loved me, and, you know, just turn your back on you in a second.”

He declared: “If she [Billie] ever needs me I’m going to be here for her… but, yeah, just protecting those moments because people take for granted… encounters… and… I just want to protect her.” I don’t want her to go through anything I went through. I don’t wish that upon anybody.”

As Bieber recounted his past difficulties, Zane showed a clear sense of compassion. Justin is currently revelling in the joys of fatherhood, having recently welcomed his first child, son Jack Blues, with his wife Hailey.
