As you probably know, Justin Bieber and Hailey Bieber became parents when they welcomed their baby, Jack Blues, into the world last August.

And last month, Justin sparked backlash when he posted a shady message on Hailey’s first Mother’s Day.

Utilizing Instagram’s “Notes” feature, Justin posted: “Love u moms but mothers day sucks ass” on Sunday, May 11 — a note that he amplified to his 294 million followers by sharing a screenshot of it to his Instagram story.

He followed it up with another post that read: “Good luck today for anyone navigating Mother’s Day.”

Needless to say, Justin’s followers were shocked by these posts, and he was heavily criticized online at the time. Many claimed he had humiliated Hailey on what should have been a special day, and one viral tweet called his actions "vile." Justin ended up deleting the note after a few hours.

He also followed up with posts celebrating Hailey, including a series of photos of her with the caption: “Best mommy day gurlie.” 

Justin then shared a video of his Mother’s Day surprise for his wife, which included a mariachi band.

But all of that was too little, too late, with many still side-eyeing the star for the insensitive note. And that is why people were left delighted on Sunday when Hailey expertly played Justin at his own game on his first Father’s Day.

If you follow Justin, you will know that he shared over a dozen Instagram grid posts on the day, with the first a black and white selfie alongside the caption: “I’m a dad that’s not to be fucked with.”

Hailey immediately commented on the post: “Father’s Day sucks ass.”

The star was celebrated for getting her own back on her husband, with one viral tweet simply sharing a screenshot of Justin’s original message and Hailey’s comment alongside the caption: “Hailey got her lick back 😭😭😭”

This tweet has been seen over 9 million times in less than 24 hours, racking up over tens of thousands of likes, retweets, and replies.

“OK i love her,” a popular reply reads, while another echoes: “She’s so unserious I love her.”

It’s worth noting that despite claims Hailey has since deleted her comment, it’s actually still visible under Justin’s post at the time of writing after being posted 17 hours ago. 

Hailey did not publicly acknowledge Father’s Day on her own Instagram page, but Justin did not appear to have any hard feelings toward his wife for either that or her comment. Later in the day, he shared multiple photos of Hailey and Jack playing on a piano, and he also shared a picture of a smiling dolphin leaping through the air alongside the caption: “How I feel when @haileybieber Gets home” to his Instagram story.

The star also shared photos of them both returning home from a “Date night getaway.” He later shared multiple pictures of himself brandishing a new gold watch with the caption: “Happy daddy day to me u lil ho.”
