Johnny's absolutely NOT anywhere near sucess as the "mainstream" claims. He's musically for young ladies what Kim Petras was before her #1/Grammy* and Slayyyter still is for the gays: a good niche icon.
Interesting enough, Johnny and Slayyyter have the same number of listeners on Spotify lol
*No shade towards Kim, is because she tasted the mainstream spotlight. Still listen to her catchy songs daily.
His family is rich enough to make him feel the fantasy of being a star. And they seen very supportive as well for their family well-being. If he's not doing therapy is solely because of his own decision.
He probably was just riding Styles wave during his 2019-2022 regency on pop music. Also, MAYBE this magazine is Canadian, so putting Bieber would be more palatable.
Most probably: I'm a pretty conventional white guy from a upper class family, my life isn't that interesting and i hold some views that are unpopular. I don't think he meant anything about mental/physical health or sexuality
