Justin Bieber appears to throw shade at ex Selena Gomez trends now

Justin Bieber appeared to throw shade at his ex-girlfriend Selena Gomez amid claims she's feuding with his wife Hailey Bieber. 

The singer threw a party for his 29th birthday over the weekend where he celebrated with his nearest and dearest. 

One person who wasn't on the guest list was his ex Selena, although he appeared to reference the actress with the party favours he handed out on the day. 

Guests were handed a silver souvenir that bore the words: 'I'm so thankful that I didn't end up with what I thought I wanted.' 

While Justin did not address the meaning behind the gift, fans were quick to assume it was a dig at his ex and branded the singer 'petty'. 

They tweeted: 'This gift says “still living in the past” to me'; 'So he’s saying he didn’t want her?'; 'and everyone was looking for his response and he just gave you one in the form of a gift'; 'What’s he trying to say?';

'This is so petty, I mean if that’s the way you and your wife feel keep that petty sht to yourself lol and please, you don’t have to mention somebody’s name or say “who” to understand exactly what they talkin abt.'; 

'admitting that your wife was your second choice on your birthday is crazy lmao selena truly lives in his mind rent free'; 'Oh he gets nasty! Iktr defend your wife.' 

Other fans were quick to point out that it could have more innocent connotations, arguing: 'can’t believe people are interpreting this negatively. justin is saying he’s grateful for the life he has as is.'

'right he’s literally referring to being out of the spotlight.'

MailOnline has contacted Justin's representative for comment.  

Selena and Justin dated on and off for eight years, calling it quits for the final time in 2018. Two months later Justin proposed to Hailey, who he first dated in 2015 for about a month. 

Fans have long pitted the women against each other and they have been accused of subtly throwing shade at each other.
