Canadian pop star Justin Bieber has always been very vocal about his Christian faith. During interviews and posts shared on his social media accounts, he has proudly shared his love for God and this time around, he shared a photo on his Instagram account (@justinbieber) of a prayer session with fellow singers Kanye West and Puff Daddy.
He captioned the black and white image with, "Uncle puff and Yeezy giving thanks to Jesus."
The photo has already received over 1.7 million likes and over 63,000 comments. Someone wrote, "Insane amount of love for this - a man after God's own heart. God bless brother!" Others criticised the singer's past while others encouraged him to continue his "purpose."
Meanwhile, Bieber and West are now sharing more than just prayer sessions. A source told PEOPLE that Bieber's longtime manager Scooter Braun - who also handles Ariana Grande, Carly Rae Jepsen and Tori Kelly - will also be representing West.
"Scooter and Kanye have been friends for a while, so it was a natural progression for them to work together," the insider explained. West's longtime manager Izzy Zivkovic will also help.
West has been forging deeper friendships with fellow Christian artists. Aside from Bieber, he has been spending a lot of time with Gospel singer Kirk Franklin.
Several people have criticised Franklin's friendship with West, but Franklin believes it is unfair for people to assume that West is "not good enough" to be around him. But Franklin defended their friendship by saying: "Kanye is not me. I am not him. He is my brother I am proud to do life with. No sprints, but Marathons; like most of us are on.
"I will not turn my back on my brother. I will love him, prayerfully grow with him. However long he'll have me, and however long the race takes," he continued. "To a lot of my Christian family, I'm sorry he's not good enough, Christian enough, or running at your pace...and as I read some of your comments, neither am I. That won't stop me from running. Pray we win."
