Justin Bieber Licensed Paparazzi Video of Him Yelling at Photogs for New Album 'Swag'
Justin Bieber's chugging a giant pint of irony -- after raging out at paparazzi, he's now paying them to create content for new album, "SWAG" ... TMZ has learned. It's a pretty stunning plot twist ... the singer-songwriter made a deal with a photo agency to use the audio from a video shot last month, where he lashed out at the paparazzi for shooting him as he left a restaurant. We're told Bieber's camp made the photo agency sign an NDA ... so, their representatives aren't allowed to discuss terms of the deal, such as how much JB paid. The clip of that angry exchange appears in his new song, "STANDING ON BUSINESS" ... a reference to the viral video where the Biebs -- a blue hoodie and sweats -- wearing screamed that phrase at the paps on the street. In the video, he tells them he's a father, and he deserves a little more respect ... before telling someone mouthing off to him that he's standing 10 toes down in this situation. 'STANDING' starts with the audio from that exchange, before influencer Druski jumps in and corrects Bieber's pronunciation -- to make him more fearsome to his photog foes. Bottom line ... Bieber ultimately made a deal with his enemy. Ya could say he spent the money to reclaim his voice -- but the photo agency's taking his check to the bank, so they're winners too.

Justin Bieber Wasn't Melting Down — He Was Locked In
In between standing on business in paparazzi clashes and dodging endless rumors about his personal life, it turns out Justin Bieber was busy in the studio, making a genuinely interesting album. Swag is full of well-chosen collaborators — Gunna, Sexyy Red, Cash Cobain, Lil B, Dijon — confessional lyrics, and even surprisingly self-aware skits recorded with Druski. More from Rolling Stone Travis Scott's 'Jackboys 2' Tops Albums Chart The Sabrina Carpenter You Don't Know Justin Bieber Finally Had '100% Creative Freedom' on 'Swag' After Scooter Braun Split: Source In the new episode of our Rolling Stone Music Now podcast, we break down the last few years of Bieber's life and career, with Jeff Ihaza (who wrote a smart piece on Bieber's cultural savvy) and Brittany Spanos joining host Brian Hiatt. (To hear the whole episode, go here for the podcast provider of your choice, listen on Apple Podcasts or Spotify, or just press play above.) The discussion notes that Bieber stepped off the pop treadmill after the endless work of his younger years — Swag is only his third album of the past 10 years. It's also a welcome throwback to an era where male pop stars drew from R&B instead of, say, soft rock. The panel goes on to dig into Bieber's enduring influence — stars like Billie Eilish worship him, and he still carries weight as 'a cool white boy,' as Ihaza puts it, in hip-hop and R&B.

Justin Bieber addresses claims he's ‘f–king losing his mind' in surprise album ‘Swag'
Justin Bieber denied that he's 'losing his mind' in his surprise album, 'Swag.' Bieber, 31, dropped his long-awaited seventh studio album on Friday and used the project to address concerns about both his wellbeing and his marriage to Hailey Bieber. The track 'Therapy Session' begins with comedian Druski discussing Justin's social media posts, which have become increasingly random and erratic in recent months. 'Even sometimes where I know you're trolling, and they don't even understand it, like, 'Oh my God, he's f–king losing his mind,'' Druski says to Justin, who responds, 'Yeah.' The funnyman, 30, continues, 'And it's like, 'Nah, I think he's just being a human being. He's enjoying social media like the f–king rest of us; he's just doing it his own way.'' The pop star then admits to having 'struggles,' replying, 'Yeah, and that's been a tough thing for me recently — is feeling, like, you know, I have had to go through a lot of my struggles as a human, as all of us do, really publicly.' He laments, 'People are always asking if I'm OK, and that starts to really weigh on mе, you know?' Druski says he understands and draws the following comparison: 'It's like when somebody keeps saying, 'Why are you crying? Why are you crying?' It's like, 'Bitch, I'm not! But now I am! F–k.'' Justin agrees, noting, 'It starts to make me feel like I'm the one with issues, and everyone else is perfect.' The Biebers have been battling divorce rumors for close to a year, with many sources claiming that the singer's online behavior and paparazzi outbursts are to blame. However, both he and the model, 28 — who share 10-month-old son Jack — have repeatedly shut down speculation of trouble in paradise. Justin dove into the topic on his song 'Walking Away,' acknowledging that they have been 'testing [their] patience' while navigating 'growing pains.' However, he vows, 'I ain't walking away.' As for concerns that the musician is on drugs (he has shown himself smoking marijuana), his reps previously slammed the 'negative, salacious, harmful narrative.' Solve the daily Crossword
