Hilton noted that Justin Bieber is often "blasted" for being "disrespectful" toward his wife, but he still knows how to be "a good Samaritan to strangers." The blogger reported that an emerging musician named Buku was recently stranded on the roadside, seemingly due to a mechanical failure in his car. Buku was filming while venting to the camera.

In the video posted by the musician, he expressed his struggles, saying, "trying so hard in life." An open hood of a car could be seen in the video, and Buku seemed upset about it. Bieber was passing by and chose to stop to help the stranger. At first, the stranded musician couldn't believe his eyes and inquired of the kind passerby if he really was Justin Bieber.

"Love that!"

As mentioned above, a musician named Buku posted a video on his TikTok on November 13. In the video, while standing beside his broken car, he opened up about his struggles.

"You move to the big city. Trying to make it like everybody else. No friends, rich white girls driving by in their Lamborghinis, and then...."

In the video, many vehicles could be seen passing by. At a point in the video, Buku was thinking he might be "tripping" because it appeared to him that "Justin Bieber just stopped to help" him. When the person approached him, he asked, "Are you Justin Bieber?" The Sorry singer replied,

"Yeah, what's up, bro?"

The confirmation seemingly brightened Buku's mood, and he said, "I love you, bro." Bieber responded, "Love you too." When he asked the LA musician about the issue, he said, "My life is f*cked," and laughed hard. The video went off after that. However, when Bieber left, the musician resumed recording. With tearful eyes, he said,

"I cannot believe what just happened. My life is crazy... I just met one of my favorite singers. He's the most genuine person. I mean, Justin Bieber gives me the best prayer I've ever had."

Buku posted the video and thanked the singer for his gesture in the caption.

"Thank you Justin Bieber for the energy you shared with me today. Today was unforgettable. One of toughest days, G-d sent a messenger. 'G-d sent the ppl into Egypt'... Sometimes your bondage is pulling you closer to freedom... Getting closer to G-d," Buku wrote in his post.
