Justin Bieber was spotted riding a dirt bike along the concrete banks of the Los Angeles River in the eastern portion of the city on Friday.

The 26-year-old showed off his tattoos in a sleeveless plaid shirt as he paid little attention to the camera crew riding next to him in a pickup truck. 

The songwriter’s last video was for his single Anyone, which premiered last week.

The Baby singer was seen wearing a white undershirt underneath a sleeveless orange flannel shirt that allowed him to show off his numerous tattoos.

He also wore a loose-fitting and ripped set of blue jeans and a pair of white Converse sneakers for the video shoot.

The singer rode without a helmet during the video shoot, wearing a baseball cap turned backward during parts of the production in case he fell off his bike. 

At other points in the day, he removed his hat in order to show off his flowing blonde hair.

Bieber’s latest full-length release was the 2020 album Changes, which debuted at the top of the Billboard 200 chart.

Its lead single, entitled Yummy, was released in early January of that year and peaked at number two on the Billboard Hot 100 chart.

Although Changes received mixed critical reviews from music reviewers, the album garnered a Grammy nomination for Best Pop Vocal Album, where it will have to compete with projects from Lady Gaga and Harry Styles.

The singer was also put up for numerous other Grammys, including the awards for Best Pop Solo Performance and Best Country Duo/Group Performance for his guest feature on the track 10,000 Hours, which was written by Dan + Shay.

Bieber currently has one Grammy Award under his belt, which he won in 2016 for his work with electronic duo Jack U on the single Where Are U Now.

After receiving his nominations for the upcoming Grammy Awards in November, the singer-songwriter took to Instagram to voice his opinion about the fact that he was nominated in the Pop category, which he viewed as an R&B effort.

He partially wrote: ‘I grew up admiring R&B and wished to make a project that would embody that sounds. For this not to be put into that category feels weird considering…it is undeniably, unmistakably an R&B album!’

However, Bieber did thank those who nominated him for the award and express gratitude that he was put up for the awards he could potentially win.

‘To be clear I absolutely love Pop music it just wasn’t what I was trying to make this time around. My gratitude for feeling respected for my work remains and I am honored to be nominated either way,’ he noted.
