Troubled star Justin Bieber went on a wild, unprovoked tirade against the paparazzi while heading into a coffee shop with friends.
Justin Bieber went on a wild, unprovoked tirade against the paparazzi while heading into a coffee shop with friends.
In a video obtained by TMZ, the singer, who is in Palm Springs, California, ahead of weekend one of Coachella, immediately covered his face when he noticed photographers with their cameras and phones recording him.
“Good morning,” one photographer said to Bieber, who replied, “No! Not good morning! You already know. Why are you here?”
The pop star then walked over to the paps and told them that they just “want money.”
“Money, money, money, money, money,” he repeated while making the pay me gesture with his fingers.
“Get outta here, bro. Money, that’s all you want. You don’t care about human beings,” Bieber shouted while covering a man’s phone from recording him.
Bieber, 31, then told the men to leave.
“That’s all you care about, guys. Is money. You don’t care about people. Only money. … You don’t care about human beings,” he said as the photographers backed up from the coffee shop.
Bieber — who was sporting a tie-dye hoodie off one of his arms, dark-coloured shorts, lime green-and-white checkered socks and lime green clogs — then turned around and walked into the eatery with his friends.
Page Six has reached out to Bieber’s rep for comment but did not immediately hear back.
The two-time Grammy winner’s rant comes less than a month after he admitted he had “anger issues” in a cryptic post online.
“I got anger issues too, but I wanna grow and not react so much smh,” he captioned the post with a facepalm emoji.
The photos he chose for the post included one of him with his face down wearing a hoodie, a snap of him when he was younger and one of cargo shipping containers on a screen with a small image of who appears to be his and wife Hailey Bieber’s 7-month-old son, Jack Blues.
The singer has made headlines over the last few months over his concerning behaviour, alleged drug use and the state of his marriage to Hailey.
In February, fans went into a frenzy when Justin exhibited “strange” behaviour at the model’s Rhode skincare pop-up event in LA by shifting his weight back and forth and clinching onto his clothing.
An insider told Page Six that month that Hailey, 28, was “really concerned” for Justin and was not “sure how to manage things at this point.”
“Justin is going through a hard time, and Hailey is doing her best to be there for him, but there’s only so much she can do,” the source added.
Justin’s rep denied “harmful” allegations of drug use following concerns about the singer’s behaviour.
His rep told TMZ at the time that the ongoing rumours about Justin’s physical and mental health were “exhausting and pitiful and shows that despite the obvious truth, people are committed to keeping negative, salacious, harmful narratives alive.”
Despite rumours that Hailey and Justin are headed for Splitsville, they have continued to put on a united front.
