"I think he's toxic, I think he's selfish, I think he's got a boatload of talent but I don't think he was good for my career on any level. I think he got me off on a wrong track on a couple of different avenues. I also think that I'm the one to blame." "I've been around a long time. I think Sonjay gets kind of dialed into things and I think he lost his way and I think us as a group in a lot of ways lost our way and I'm the veteran and I should take more of a mindset on it."

Justin Bieber
Justin Bieber has gone a long way since posting covers to YouTube. Now, he gets a millions dollars for every show that he does, has sold over 150 million records worldwide, has released three documentary style movies about his life and has released tons of popular songs like 'Baby,' 'Sorry' and 'Lonely.' Bieber is also married to model Hailey Baldwin and has a rather mysterious clothing line called Drew House. Bieber was born March 1, 1994, in Canada to parents Jeremy Bieber and Pattie Mallette. He started to upload singing covers to YouTube in 2007 and was discovered by Scooter Braun shortly after. In 2008, Braun became Bieber's manager and in 2009 his first album was released in two parts, 'My World' and 'My World 2.0' in 2010. The albums were a huge hit and contained songs like 'One Time,' 'One Less Lonely Girl' and 'Baby.' His next album was a Christmas album called 'Under the Mistletoe.' In 2011, he released a movie called 'Justin Bieber: Never Say Never.' On its opening day, it brought in $12.4 million at the box office. He released a second movie in 2013 called 'Justin Bieber's Believe' following the release of his 'Believe' album in 2012. He released a third movie 'Justin Bieber: Our World' in 2021. In 2015, he won his first Grammy Award for his song 'Where Are Ü Now' and also won a Guinness world record for youngest male artist to debut at the top of the Billboard 100 chart. After 'Believe,' Bieber released 'Journals,' in 2013, 'Purpose' in 2015,' 'Changes' in 2020 and ""Justice" in 2021." He has also collaborated with many artists including Post Malone, Luis Fonsi and Daddy Yankee, Quavo, Chance the Rapper, Lil Wayne and DJ Khaled. In addition to his music, Bieber has released many fragrances and has a clothing line called Drew House that was founded in 2018 along with Ryan Good. Drew House, which comes from Bieber's middle name, is a brand full of bright colors, oversized clothing and smiley faces. The brand does very little advertising, yet the products sell out very often. Bieber is often touring to promote his albums. His 2022-23 "Justice World Tour" was put on pause after Bieber announced that he needed to take care of his heath. He released more details on his Instagram, detailing that he has "Ramsay Hunt syndrome" which was caused by a virus that attacked his ear and facial nerves, causing paralysis to half of his face. Bieber got married to Hailey Baldwin privately in 2018 and had a bigger ceremony a year later. Baldwin met Bieber for the first time backstage at one of his concerts when she was just 12 years old. In 2016, the two started dating but ended up breaking up for two years. During that time, Bieber got back together with his ex-girlfriend Selena Gomez. Bieber and Gomez broke up in early 2018, and he got back together with Baldwin and got engaged shortly after the rekindling.

Justin Bieber pleads for paparazzi attention to stop amid growing concern for pop star's behavior
Justin Bieber shared a video of several paparazzi taking photos of him with a plea for the behavior to end. The pop star, 31, posted a video of an interaction between himself, his team and a group of photographers late Thursday night. "Look at these guys, man," Bieber repeatedly said while videoing. "This has to stop," the "One Time" singer wrote in his caption. Throughout the video, fans can hear the back-and-forth between Bieber's entourage and photographers. "Guys, can you back up please?" someone asked, before a photographer replied with, "You're filming me?" "You guys done?" another person asked the photographers. "Got your shots, go," the man added, encouraging the photographers to be on their way. Bieber shared a statement to Instagram on Friday morning, although it's unclear if the comments were related to the paparazzi video. "Everyone telling me to move from La. U think I'm gonna get bullied to leave where my influence is most needed?" he began. "How can we make a change if we run away from the darkness? I too have been caught up in the transactional nature of Hollywood. "It's embarrassing but with that said I want nothing to do with that as a grown adult with a wife and son, I just want to be submerged in the culture learning from any and everyone. And be a proponent and advocate for LOVE AND EQUALITY." In an additional post he made Thursday, Bieber wrote in part, "They treat me like a-- out here, but if I remember that I am flawed too and that god forgave me, It helps to stop feeling better than those people who are mean and hurtful. Because when I'm really honest I can be mean and hurtful too." He continued, "My instinct is to be like damn I wouldn't gossip and spread lies about someone on the internet but there's other s--- I do that I'm not proud of. That god is gracious with." "Hurt people hurt people," Bieber wrote, "And honestly if I was u it would be hard not to be jealous if I saw me and Hailey going so brazzzzyy." Fox News Digital reached out to a representative for additional comment. Bieber is no stranger to paparazzi and has been dealing with an intense level of scrutiny since his meteoric rise to fame began in 2009. The musician was first discovered after posting covers to YouTube. His viral fame led to the release of his first album, "My World," which featured the hit singles "One Time" and "One Less Lonely Girl." At the time, Bieber was only 16 years old. The "What Do You Mean" singer has recently sparked concern among fans with his various posts about his mental and emotional health. Bieber's behavior at an event put on by his wife Hailey Bieber also left fans baffled. In a video that went viral on TikTok in February, he was seen with a huge grin on his face and rocking side-to-side while talking to attendees. "Are you sure that's Justin Bieber?" one user asked. "Is he okay?!" a user asked. Another chimed in, "This is so hard to watch. Someone help him." After the speculation, Bieber's team told TMZ that concerns about Bieber's mental and physical health are "exhausting and pitiful and shows that despite the obvious truth, people are committed to keeping negative, salacious, harmful narratives alive." His team added that he is focused on being a father to his son, Jack, and producing new music. Hailey and Justin welcomed their first child in August. Bieber's behavior during weekend two of Coachella also sparked concern among fans as videos surfaced of the "Love Yourself" singer smoking marijuana in the crowd. Despite rumors of a rocky spot in the pop star's marriage to Hailey, a source told People that Bieber is having fun with his wife's support. "Hailey is not on the verge of wanting a divorce or leaving him. It's just completely untrue," the insider told the outlet. "If anything she's sad about how hard everyone is being on him now that he finally is coming back out of his shell."

Justin Bieber Hit No. 1 For The First Time 15 Years Ago Today
Justin Bieber's debut album My World 2.0 hit No. 1 on the Billboard 200 exactly 15 years ago, ... More launching one of the most successful pop careers of all time. THE TONIGHT SHOW WITH JAY LENO — Episode 3799 — Pictured: Musical guest Justin Bieber during an interview on April 1, 2010 — Photo by: Stacie McChesney/NBCU Photo Bank This week marks 15 years since Justin Bieber officially stepped into the spotlight — not as a YouTube star or a teenage heartthrob, but as a chart-topping artist. On March 31, 2010, Billboard announced that Bieber had scored his very first No. 1 album in America. His full-length debut My World 2.0 conquered the Billboard 200, debuting atop the list dated April 10, 2010. At the time, the then-teenager was just breaking through, but it also turned out that he was simultaneously becoming a pop force no one could ignore. It's easy to forget just how new Bieber was when that album reached No. 1. He had only recently gone from uploading covers online to performing on TV and living life surrounded by cameras and thousands of screaming fans, wherever he went. With My World 2.0, he showed that he was the next big thing in music, and he's managed to maintain that popularity for more than a decade and a half. My World 2.0 was technically Bieber's second project, following his introductory EP My World, which launched him into the public consciousness a short time earlier – but it was his first full-length. In its first week, the collection sold 283,000 copies, a huge figure for any new act, especially one who was still largely seen as an internet-made phenomenon when that was a novelty. When it arrived at No. 1, Bieber did more than just take over the top spot. That same week, My World rebounded from No. 10 to No. 5 on the Billboard 200, meaning the Canadian teenager – then just 16 years old – claimed two of the five highest-ranking albums in the country. Very few artists of any kind (let alone teenagers) manage that kind of showing. The album's lead single 'Baby,' featuring Ludacris, became a defining hit of the early 2010s. The sugary pop tune, complete with a catchy hook and lyrics all about saccharine teen love, helped establish Bieber's place in the top 40 mainstream. It didn't just dominate the radio, it became one of the most-watched videos on YouTube for years, back when that metric still shocked people. The visual racked up millions upon millions of plays before such showings were commonplace. That success made sense, given Bieber's start on the platform, but it was nonetheless impressive. Even if his sound has shifted dramatically since that era – as has his image – 'Baby' gave Bieber the platform he needed. Without it, and My World 2.0, his future hits, arena tours, and award wins might not have been possible. That first Billboard 200 win was far from a one-time success. Since My World 2.0, Bieber has returned to the summit of the albums chart seven more times, collecting eight No. 1s in total. 10 of his projects have broken into the top 10 on the Billboard 200, as the Canadian superstar has managed to keep his audience engaged and intact as he changes sounds, styles, and even through a number of personal controversies. He hasn't released a new album in four years, and things have been quiet lately on the music front…but rumors suggest that new music may be on the way. Even if Bieber never puts out another song, his legacy is secure. Over the last 15 years, he's not only proven his ability to reach the charts – and rule them – but also demonstrated an incredible staying power in an industry that often burns through young stars in record time.
