This isn't the first time the duo has sparked rumors of an affair this year. In April, Bieber attended Red's birthday party, then uploaded a video in which he was seen kissing Red on the cheek.
In June, the Canadian singer supported the rapper after her spat with Ray J. On June 7, rapper Ray J falsely claimed on a live stream that he had slept with Sexyy Red, saying:
“I slept with Sexyy Red… that’s on the dead homies. Talking about I party with Sexyy Red, n***a. Ask her. That’s on the dead homies, n***a. I slept with her, n***a.”
Red confronted the rapper in an Instagram DM and also shared a screenshot of their conversation on her story. She wrote in the caption:
"Cornball azx lyin on ya meat is weird...play in yo A* not wimmie [...]Even to b sayin we 'slept' on the plane together I said hi and kept it pushin is you coo cuh?!"
Bieber posted a screenshot of this on his Instagram story with the caption:
