Justin Bieber is owning his infamous public incidents with the paparazzi on his new album, Swag.
The Canadian pop star’s surprise new album features multiple references to his viral arguments with the paparazzi, and it crops up most notably on the track “Butterflies.” The song opens with a sample of Bieber telling a group of photographers near the entrance of a coffee shop to leave him alone. “You just want money,” he said in the viral clip. “Money, money, money, money. Get out of here, bro. Money, that’s all you want. You don’t care about people or human beings.”
Another one of his viral incidents is sampled on the record with the Druski-featuring skit, “Standing on Business.”
The sample features Bieber telling paparazzi, “It’s not clocking to you that I’m standing on business, is it?” As many people pointed out at the time, Bieber was misusing two pieces of slang in the clip. Druski schools Bieber on how to pronounce the phrase correctly in the skit.
“I like that you pronounce business,” he says in the skit. “Usually when I say, ‘Standin’ on business,’ I say, ‘standin’ on bih’ness.'” Druski jokes, “I think that’s why [the paparazzi] ain’t leave right there, you were pronunciatin’ every word.”
