Earlier this week, video of Justin Bieber telling a joke with “nigger” in the punchline surfaced online. Turns out, there’s more where that came from.
A new, 24-second long clip — reportedly seen by a writer for The Sun — “shows Justin Bieber changing the words of his 2009 hit, ‘One Less Lonely Girl’ to ‘One Less Lonely N——-.'” Which, if you adhere to definitions, is not even technically a joke. Allegedly, immediately after using the word nigger, Bieber jokes about joining the Klu Klux Klan.
The New York Daily News points out that it’s unclear when the video was filmed, but it seems to be after Bieber was signed by Scooter Braun — though still a young star on the rise.
“Unfortunately this is the devastating reality of how Justin has behaved and reveals his attitude toward such a deeply emotive subject,” a source told the Sun.
“People need to see this. Normal kids in society do not make these kind of jokes. He is protected by a network of staff, but the camera doesn’t lie. This is the real Justin.”
Kudos to Bieber — a Grammy-nominated singer with an army of fans (over 50 million followers on Twitter) and a net worth of $130 million — for really living up to his reputation as the King Joffrey of Pop.
