Justin Bieber helping you out after your car breaks down? Never say never.

That exact situation just happened to an artist who goes by Buku Music on TikTok, as captured in a recent video shared to the platform. In the clip, the user sits on the side of the road, looking hopeless after the car he was driving stopped working. All of a sudden, a different car pulls over, leaving Buku looking perplexed.


“I might be tripping, but I think that Justin Bieber just stopped to help me,” he says, still filming himself. “Are you Justin Bieber?”

The Canadian pop star then appears in front of the camera, giving Buku a hug. “Yeah, what’s up, bro? Love you, too, yes sir,” Bieber says before assessing the situation. “What happened?”

“Do you really want to know? My life is f–ked, bro,” Buku replies, laughing.

The content creator then cuts the camera before checking back in to update viewers on what happened next. Apparently, the Grammy winner led him in a healing prayer that set Buku’s mind at ease.

Fans in the comments were just as blown away by the twist of fate as Buku. “God literally sent you Justin Bieber,” one person wrote, while another replied, “Is Justin Bieber your fairy godmother?”

Billboard has reached out to Bieber’s reps for comment.

The act of kindness on the musician’s part reflects the family values he shared on Instagram in September. In a photo he posted of the framed “Bieber Family” guidelines he has displayed in his home for himself, Hailey Bieber and their 1-year-old son, Jack Blues, one of the listed tenets was “We value Generosity and graciously giving time, money and respect to people on our path.”

In addition to helping the occasional distressed driver, Justin has been hard at work these days preparing for his 2026 Coachella headlining set. To do so, he’s been holing up in a warehouse with his band and creative team, capturing his rehearsals in hours-long Twitch livestreams.

The singer is also fresh off of receiving numerous Grammy nominations for his work this past year. In addition to Swag earning nods for both album of the year and best pop vocal album earlier in November, his hit song “Daisies” is up for best pop solo performance, while “Yukon” is in competition for best R&B performance.
