An unusual yet comical tale of an Instagram engagement with Justin Bieber that had only one side and included mysterious hand videos was the weird comical story with Bobbi Althoff and singer Teddy Swims who put forth ‘Not This Again’ as their next collaboration. They mentioned the bizarre incident while talking about their upcoming Coachella performances, which not only brought to the public’s attention the absurdity of the case but also the surprising revelation of how the stars interact.

The odd story was narrated by Teddy Swims during their talk. He said that Justin Bieber had unfollowed him on Instagram and out of nowhere sent him a hand video. Swims, who was both confused and amused, decided to go with the weirdness. He sent back random videos of his own hand to Bieber for the one he had received. The drawback was that Bieber did not reply and so Swims was left always “on seen.” Swims called the non-relationship “the best relationship anybody could ever have” and the one-sided, purely visual communication was the point he was trying to make. The story unfolded as bewildering and humorous and it revealed a rarely shown side of fan-celebrity interaction.
The announcement of the new song with Bobbi Althoff was almost overshadowed by the story, which percolated through the fan base as the main happening. The collaboration ‘Not This Again’ is slated for release next week, hence, a new musical chapter for both artists amidst the viral storytelling.
The comments section was filled with reactions to the hand video story, with the entire scenario being termed as extremely amusing by the users. One comment read, “I. AM. IN. TEARS. ☠️🤣😂,” which vividly conveyed the widespread laughter evoked by the absurdity. The utter randomness of the communication was one of the chief sources of enjoyment.
Another commenter made a joke out of the one-sided “communication,” “@lilbieber – you can’t just let the dude sit on ‘seen’…you started it! lol.” It seemed that a lot of people shared this idea with the ones who thought that Bieber had opened a strange game but then did not create any more interest, so the situation became even funnier.
One user expressed a rather optimistic view of the situation saying, “If it was an accident and he’s just been sending weird hand videos this is even better.” This viewpoint basked in the glorious possibility of a total mix-up, where a pop star might have inadvertently come up with a new way of communication and then just never realized it.
The incident also sparked some light-hearted speculation about the account. “Maybe it’s NOT the Biebs!” someone asked and thereby cast a little doubt on whether it was really Justin Bieber on the other side of the line or just a very convincing and oddly concentrated impersonator.
Nevertheless, the comments were not only full of laughter but also expressed admiration for Teddy Swims. One fan remarked, “He is truly a breath of fresh air in the entertainment industry. Love Teddy Swims ❤️❤️❤️,” which showed how his willingness to share a silly story makes him more approachable and relatable. Another person called him “the nicest guy,” which seems to suggest that this kind of good-natured humor is part of what draws people to him.

The strange hand video saga offers a comical and human perspective to the otherwise-polished celebrity social media world. It serves as a reminder that even the most popular personalities can have very odd, low-prize interactions that are both puzzling and funny to others. The partnership with Bobbi Althoff is the official announcement but it is this strange, one-way video friendship that has captivated the audience, proving that sometimes the best stories are the least predictable ones.
