In addition to sharing the throwback photo of the 44-year-old “Lose Yourself” rapper, Bieber changed up his style earlier this year in a look that seemed to emulate Eminem. Back in March, the Biebs stepped out with a peroxide blond buzzcut and clear glasses that was reminiscent of the “Real Slim Shady” hitmaker. Also like Eminem, Bieber has adorned his body with tattoos.

In concert, Justin has shown an affinity for Eminem’s tunes. He covered “Lose Yourself” and “Cleaning Out My Closet” at a London nightclub back in 2015. Two years prior, Justin rapped to Eminem at the lyricist’s hometown of Detroit.

When Justin was going through a rough patch in his life when he had several run-ins with the law, Eminem actually invited Bieber to stay at his house over the holidays.
