Justin Bieber had the sweetest message for his longtime friend, Jaden Smith, on his 23rd birthday.
The “Peaches” singer took to social media to let Smith know just how much he means to him, writing a heartfelt message about his humanitarian and philanthropic efforts making the world a better place.
“Happy birthday to my brother and best friend @c.syresmith,” he wrote on Instagram under a picture of the “Summertime in Paris” singer wrapping his arms around him. “Thank you for your constant efforts in making this world a better place! I am so inspired by you. Keep being the leader and innovator that you are, we all follow your lead 😘😘”
It’s no surprise that Bieber feels so strongly about his friendship with Smith, as the pair have been by one another’s side for a long time. Both artists know exactly what one another is going through, having both grown up in front of the camera and experiencing fame from such a young age.
The pair have long been a part of the young celebrity friend group in Hollywood that includes stars like Kylie Jenner, Justin’s wife Hailey Bieber, Willow Smith, and Kendall Jenner. These two never shied away from flaunting their friendship publicly, and along with hanging out together in their personal lives, the artists have also collaborated professionally, releasing songs together including, “Never Say Never,” “Fairytale,” and “You Make Me Better.”
