Justin Bieber took to Instagram on Monday to share some photos from his performance in Saudi Arabia.

“Thank you Saudi Arabia,” read the caption accompanying his message.

Thousands of people attended Justin Bieber’s concert on December 5 in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia’s second largest city.

The concert took place even as human rights activists and activists called on Bieber to cancel his performance.

The Canadian singer was among a group of artists who performed as Saudi Arabia hosted the Formula 1 Saudi Arabian Grand Prix in Jeddah.

Bieber sang some of his most popular hits during the concert. His model wife, Hailey Baldwin Bieber, posted a supportive Instagram video of him on stage, with the words: “Go Baby.”

Bieber chose not to react to the backlash he received before and after his performance in the Kingdom. But his Saudi fans see his latest Instagram post as an act of defiance in the face of critics.

Over a million people liked his post and hundreds more praised it in the comments section.
