The video featured Fireboy’s 2022 Afrobeats anthem “Playboy” as background music while Bieber confidently drained shots on the court.

A second video, shared by another user identified as #AsakyGRN, allegedly showed Bieber mouthing the lyrics to the same song, audibly singing along to the line, “Shawty wanna play with a big boy like me.”

The videos quickly went viral, drawing over 90,000 likes and sparking debates among fans. While some praised Bieber for promoting African music, others questioned whether the track was played live or added during editing.
