Justin Bieber comes under fire with the emergence online of a video showing the pop star telling a racist joke to a room full of people. The footage obtained by The Sun, shows the 20-year-old grinning while using the highly offensive term in an attempt to make his friends laugh.
Justin can be heard asking his friends, ‘Why are black people afraid of chainsaws?’ The punchline shows him grinning as he makes a whirring noise with the punchline ‘ Run n*****, n*****, n*****, n*****, n*****.’
The Sun reports today that the singer's 'people' have known for some time of the existence of the clip, which was filmed during the making of his 2011 documentary ' Never Say Never' and made efforts to keep it from being made public.
But this would seem to be far worse. A source told The Sun: ‘This video is Justin Bieber and his camp’s worst nightmare. Even after the year he’s had – when he’s never been far from controversy, this tops the lot. ‘Justin has been taken under his wing by some of the best in the industry and they won’t stand by him after this. This will be a real kick in the teeth – showing his true colours on film.’
Justin Bieber is the second pop star this week to make seemingly racist comments on camera. One Direction's Liam Tomlinson was overheard using what sounded like an abbreviated version of the n-word during the already infamous leaked video of him and bandmate Zayn Malik smoking a joint on the way to a gig in Peru.
