Justin Bieber made it a hot line — and now someone has now made it a hot song.
The confrontation between Bieber and a paparazzi outside of Soho House in Malibu last week has taken on a life of its own, with people turning his statement, “It’s not clocking to you that I’m standing on business,” into a meme.
Even though the viral moment was taken from a particularly tense exchange where the 31-year-old expressed his frustration with a photographer, the pop star seems to be trying to make light of the situation.
On Thursday (June 19), Bieber took to Instagram to post a video from TikTok user CasaDi, remixing the viral clip. “Not at the fucking beach brooo wtfffffff,” the caption reads.
He then shared the same video on his Instagram Stories with an added “HAPPY JUNETEENTH 🫡🔆” message added.
Following the incident, Bieber posted screenshots of a text exchange between himself and a former friend on Instagram, claiming the two ended their “short lived relationship” after this person referred to his anger as “lashing out.”
“My anger is a response to pain I have been [through],” he wrote. “Asking a traumatized person not to be traumatized is simply mean.”
In another Instagram post that same day, Bieber opened up about working on himself, while also recognizing the existence of his anger issues. “People keep telling me to heal,” he wrote. “Don’t you think if I could have fixed myself I would have already? I know I’m broken. I know I have anger issues.”
“I tried to do the work my whole life to be like the people who told me I needed to be fixed like them,” he continued. “And it just keeps making me more tired and more angry.”
