'I'm gonna make my Instagram private if you guys don't stop the hate,' Bieber threatened on August 13.

'This is getting out of hand, if you guys are really fans you wouldn't be so mean to people that I like.'

'I don't feel good when I'm there nor after': Back on May 23, the Love Yourself singer declared all awards shows were 'fake' and 'hollow' on Instagram (pictured May 22)

'I don't feel good when I'm there nor after,' Justin confessed at the time.

'These award shows seem so hollow. I get the premise is to award people for their accomplishments, but is it really? Because when I look in the audience I see a bunch of fake smiles so that when the camera hits them they look happy.'

Bieber will resume his 159-date, $158.7M-grossing Purpose World Tour next Wednesday at Mexico's Estadio BBVA Bancomer in Monterrey.
