Justin Bieber’s followers are called belibers. In 2011, the Justin Bieber toothbrush was introduced to universal acclaim. In 2013, came news JB was retiring from pop music for good and, in that same year, he was criticized for writing a message in the guestbook at the Anne Frank House which read, "Truly inspiring to be able to come here. Anne was a great girl. Hopefully she would have been a belieber”. In 2014, he abandoned his pet monkey in Germany, vomited onstage, was videoed urinating in a bucket, cursed at a photograph of Bill Clinton, wore a gas mask in public, allegedly spat on fans (later debunked), was involved in an explicit image with a stripper and allegedly assaulted his bodyguard and a limo driver. During this phase, he adopted the name “Bizzle”. In 2017, the PRC banned the crooner from performing in that nation, saying “it is not suitable to bring in badly behaved entertainers”. Here’s my take on of all this.
