It might seem like it was only a few years ago since Justin Bieber first burst onto the scene and amassed an army of loyal fans.
But Bieber was discovered by manager extraordinaire Scooter Braun in 2007 - a whole NINE years ago.
Yup, the Canadian singer has been hogging the airwaves for a while now.
And it's not just the airwaves he's been hogging. He's done a very good job at getting himself a few headlines, too. And not always for the right reasons.
In the last few years, he's had his first ever police mugshot, been charged with DUI, been cleared by cops for hit-and-run incidents, accused of speeding and caught on camera peeing into a restaurant's mop bucket.
Then add to this allegations of spitting on his own fans and reportedly being caught smoking weed.
So to celebrate his big 2-1, we're going to take a look back at a timeline of his life and his most scandalous moments.
1994
When Justin was born on March 1st 1994, Mariah Carey was number one with her tune Without You. We wouldn't judge if you stopped reading for a moment to go and relive this song on Spotify.
He didn't have a traditional upbringing and his mother was just 18-years-old when she gave birth to Baby Biebs.
His parents were never married but they maintained a close friendship to focus on giving Justin a future in music.
Which is just as well because it would be a few years before Jeremy Kyle arrived on the scene to help save dysfunctional relationships.
2006/2007
His manager Scooter Braun spotted him on YouTube six years ago and tracked down Justin’s mum – or mom in this instance – Pattie to ask about signing him to his record label co-founded with Usher.
It’s amazing that anyone can spend longer than four minutes on the video website before watching clips of animals being absolutely hilarious, so the record executive deserves a hat tip for his commitment to find a star.
There was so much hype about Biebs that even Justin Timberlake tried to snap up the baby-faced singer for his own record label but lost out to Usher and ultimately a gazillion dollars (or something, we’re not accountants).
2008
By now he had released his debut album My World which immediately went platinum so things were going well. Too well, if anything.
Gone were the days of busking on steps in a tiny Canadian town or singing RnB songs to a webcam to his webcam.
And so the incredibly contagious and sometimes nauseating condition of Bieber Fever began to spread.
December, 2008
Just a year after he became a signed artist, Justin performed at the White House – you might have heard of it, it’s where big Prez Obama works from home.
We can just imagine Barack and Michelle making cocktails and taking turns to sing lines of Baby.
2010
He released his first full-length studio album My World 2.0 and soon after he accounted for 3% of the traffic on Twitter. That’s more traffic than the M25 in rush-hour.
He was also tipped as more influential than Barack Obama and The Dalai Lama by digital website Klout.
Add to this a bit of puberty, some mood swings, a deeper voice and a world tour via business class to exotic places and sooner or later going to have SOME effect.
July, 2010
Justin’s mum is obviously very proud of growing such a rich, famous and successful human inside her womb.
And she was probably equally as chuffed that her son wouldn’t have any Baby Biebers with horny groupies (more on THIS later) after telling E!: "He's expressed his desire to stay pure and honour women and treat women with respect.
Which is fine - and it was quite a trendy thing to do a few years ago.
All the young celebs in LA-LA-Land said the same old tosh about banning hanky panky until the wedding night – even Britney Spears, who you might remember got married in a boozy Vegas wedding.
February, 2011
The tiny star was always sweet and smiling when speaking to fans and media but he sparked controversy following an interview with Rolling Stone magazine, where he gave his views on abortion and abstinence.
He said: "I don't think you should have sex with anyone unless you love them."
Justin continued: “I really don't believe in abortion. It's like killing a baby,” before expressing a naive confusion over cases of rape.
It's not his fault, he missed high school because he was singing for the President.
March, 2011
But hold on, who’s this lovely lady?
Justin, 16 at the time, started dating Disney queen Selena Gomez, who was 18, and immediately everyone assumed they would be doing IT but no – far from it.
It just so happened that Selena’s favourite bling was a purity ring.
However after a few months of holding hands and possibly some over-bra topping action (try not to picture it too vividly) the ring came off! Gasp.
A family friend told The National Enquirer: “When the ring came off, Selena’s parents became unglued. Selena got the ring at 12 and never took it off.
“But when things started getting hot with Justin, suddenly she was wearing it less and less. They’d be heartsick if she did something with him that she’d later regret.”
Justin wasn’t single anymore and his baby (baby, baby, oooh) face was morphing into one of a puny man.
He started to dress like a confused Michael Jackson and developed a difficult relationship with paparazzi.
Still March...
He was celebrating his 17th birthday with girlfriend Selena and felt the snappers were harassing him.
So naturally, he hit back with a middle finger and some choice words that we can’t repeat unless it’s written in asterisks or Wingdings which is utterly pointless.
It was a new side to Justin. An attitude that has been fuelled by ‘yes men’ and people telling him over and over again that he’s the best thing to grace the planet since sliced bread, David Attenborough and booze.
November, 2011
But the biggest shock of all came when Justin was slapped in the face (not literally, that would be really uncalled for) with a paternity test from a woman who he claims to have never met. Woah.
When the allegations were made things were going pretty darn well. The singer was in a happy relationship and was searched for on Google more than ‘God’ – although he was beaten to top spot by ‘Porn’.
But this scandal nearly pushed him over the edge.
He was accused of being the father of a 4-month-old baby boy with Mariah Yeater who later dropped the claims after a month of wild rumours and bizarre source stories in the US media.
Naturally, Justin complied with a paternity test and sent off his famous DNA in a little tub and in classic fashion said: "I know that I'm going to be a target, but I'm never going to be a victim."
2012
Justin was given a pack of crayons and some blank paper to write his autobiography.
And in his book (which is mostly pictures) he explains his relationship with the people who chase him around the Hollywood hills: "There's a misconception that I hate the paparazzi - I don't, I simply don't like the aggressive paparazzi.
"Whenever you see me getting angry or upset in the media what you don't get to see on camera is how those people came up to me and said things like, 'Hey Justin, why are you such a punk lately?', 'Your mom is ugly', and, 'Your little brother and sister are ugly babies'."
All we can say for certain is that his mother bear definitely isn’t ugly.
May, 2012
In the same month he SENSATIONALLY admitted to “having a beer” despite being under the legal drinking age, Justin got into an altercation with a tabloid snapper when he left a cinema with Selena.
It all kicked off when the pap allegedly blocked Justin’s car and according to TMZ a lawyer had advised him to call 911 and file a police report against the popstar.
The photographer went to hospital after complaining about chest pains which begs the question: How weak do you have to be to lose a wrestle against Justin?
To be fair, with the pockets hanging out of his trousers looking like dollar bills Justin was probably committing a crime against fashion.
It was the start of Justin’s negative public reactions, public breakdowns and in one case offending the public.
July, 2012
Justin lacked social awareness and was apparently being a bit sweary on a flight.
A mother-of-two reportedly was forced to ask him to "stop yelling curse words and using that kind of language on a plane."
A spokesperson for Justin later admitted that he was deeply ashamed and embarrassed for making a scene and offending other passengers.
Two months after the incident Justin was interviewed on radio show Mojo in the Morning and when asked about One Direction star Harry Styles’ famous string of older conquests, he replied: "I don't think you should worry about me [and my mum with Harry Styles] - worry about your mum, bro."
Mojo told him that his mother had passed away causing Bieber to hang up on the call and end the interview. Now is that awkward or what?
Then it was Justin’s turn to call the cops on the paparazzi...
Still July...
Justin was accused of driving over speeds of 80mph during an incident where he called 911 to complain about chasing paparazzi.
He told the responding officer his surname was “Johnson”, before he explained: “I was going to go fast so I could lose these people and then I got pulled over and the police told me that if they kept following me to call in.”
He also filed harassment documents against those pesky paps following him.
It's alleged Justin was charged with another driving offence and TMZ reported a separate occasion when his speed peaked at 100mph.
October, 2012
Well, that's what you get for drinking lots of milk, Justin! He was performing on stage when he was actually sick in front of thousands of fans.
He blamed it on too much semi-skimmed. Sure.
November, 2012
In this time he lost his title as Most Viewed on YouTube to viral dance crazy Gangnam Style.
Which is utterly soul destroying and depressing for the entire world so it must be properly heartbreaking for Justin.
January, 2013
The year started with some serious news when sadly his fame - and the paparazzi obsession with him - led to a tragic accident.
Justin has called for a change in law to protect celebrities and photographers after a member of the paparazzi was killed while chasing his famous car.
The incident happened in January and Justin was not in the white Ferrari at the time, but it's thought that one of his friends was driving when the photographer was struck down by an oncoming vehicle in LA.
Still January...
Well, well, well. Mr. Bieber. You’ve been a naughty boy.
Completely unaware that he was being snapped on a mobile phone, Justin was caught smoking a suspicious looking roll-up cigarette.
US reports claim that Justin was with his mate Lil Twist when he was seen allegedly smoking a spliff.
February, 2013
He told chat show host Jimmy Fallon about his constant run ins with the law: "You know what, the police really like to pull me over. I don't do anything, I promise.”
In a sketch for hit show Saturday Night Live, mocking himself in character as a Miley Cyrus fan he said: "I also heard he got busted for smoking weed.
"And he's really sorry about it. And people make mistakes. And he's never gonna do it again."
At this stage in his career he’s already got enough platinum discs to relaunch his own branded HMV but it seems that the Grammy folks aren’t impressed by Biebs.
Justin received NO nominations for the awards bash and manager Scooter ranted on Twitter: “I just plain DISAGREE.
"The kid deserved it. Grammy board u blew it on this one.’ But of course he would say that.
Following the ceremony he had a full on Twitter feud with Black Keys drummer after a few bitchy comments.
JB said the rocker should be "slapped around" for his making a dig at the popstar.
After winning a Grammy for Best Rock Performance and Best Rock Album, The Black Keys drummer Patrick told TMZ that Bieber didn't deserve any recognition.
He said: “Grammys are for like music, not for money.”
The following days were shamed by rumours he had cheated on long-term girlfriend Selena after their relationship appeared to be over for good.
They have split and made-up again more times than Ross and Rachael.
One person Justin was alleged to have had a fling with Rihanna. Read more about that gossip over here.
March 1st
He was ironically burning the birthday candles at both ends on his 19th.
It was reported that the swanky London club he hosted the party - Cirque du Soir - refused his mates Jaden Smith (of Will Smith spawn fame) and his latest accessory Ella-Paige Roberts Clark for being underage.
There was also talk that the venue stank of marijuana which led to staff evicting the party members.
JB got himself a McDonalds and headed home, dubbing the night his 'worst birthday'.
He later hit back at the “weak ass” club and denies trying to take underage Jaden Smith in.
March 4th
Fans booed their hero after he turned up nearly TWO HOURS late on stage in London - on a school night.
The doors opened at 6:30pm and eager fans furious when he failed to appear at the advertised time of 8:30pm.
Many of Bieber's fans are young kids and teens who don't have the luxury of late nights and many had to leave before the show.
Furious parents and schoolchildren tweeted their frustration when he failed to appear on the first of four O2 shows until just after 10:20pm.
A punter inside the O2 said: "He's two hours late and Bieber is still not on stage. Kids are having to leave as it's so late. Not fair - bless them."
March 5th
The tiny popstar was branded “arrogant git” after he made young girls wait THREE HOURS in the cold for a meet and greet on Monday – but then barely acknowledging them.
Furious dad Phil Hurn said: “They were told they were getting 30 seconds each but he didn’t even talk to some of them.
“He was an arrogant little git. They were promised goodie bags and a signed album but they didn’t get that either.”
Ironically, he was pictured wearing two Rolex watches earlier in the week so he doesn't have any excuse to be late.
Justin later tweeted an apology, blaming the delay on 'technical issues', but that didn't stop the local council fining him £300,000 for the late-running show (that's £10,000 per minute, FYI).
March 6th
More signs of a meltdown emerge as Justin takes to Twitter to rant about the past few days of scandal and drama. It's basically an essay but worth reading in full.
'Rumors rumors and more rumors. nothing more nothing less. might talk about them 1 day. [Right] now I'm just gonna be positive. cant bring me down.
'I'm focused on the good things in life. I'm blessed and not forgetting it. I'm giving back every day for it. cant phase me.
'Fake stories to sell papers i guess are part of the job. but I'm a good person. i know that. u cant tell me different. we know the truth.
'As long as my family, friends, and fans r with me u can say whatever. we are all equal in God's eyes & we have a responsibility to each other.
'Say when i came out of my show with my shirt off because after performing for 2 hours i might be sweaty i was going into a club (really?).
'Or any girl i stand next to is my girl or that i don't care, or that i don't feel, or that a 19 year old going to a club in europe is wild...
'I understand it is part of the job to be judged...but judge me on the facts, judge me on the music, and be careful of the judgement u pass.
'But know this... I'm only judged by one power, and i serve him.
'So yeah I will continue being me. i will continue to serve, to perform, to care, to love, to smile, to dance, to play, to sing...
'And u are welcome to join, because i carry no hate. We got to much love for that. I'm about the music.
'Gonna enjoy the day and keep smiling. so should all of u. Much love. i see u ?#beliebers? = i love u.'
He might need to have a chat to Nicole Scherzinger too, because she's really not happy with him either.
March 7th
Justin's week got a whole lot weirder last night as the singer went out to dinner wearing a gas mask.
The Bieb donned the rubber mask as he headed to Mr Chow in London for a spot of posh nosh.
He styled it out with a pair of leather trousers that matched the mask (we can't seriously believe we're writing this), as well as a baseball cap, some funky floral trainers and a cream cardi with the hood pulled up over his head.
Weirdly, this isn't the first time that Justin's been snapped sporting the unusual headwear - he also wore it to go on a shopping trip when he first arrived in London two weeks ago, prompting people (well, us) to compare him to Darth Vader.
March 8th
Justin was rushed to hospital after suffering breathing difficulties on stage at London's O2 Arena.
The singer was initially treated by doctors backstage for up to 15 minutes before returning to finish the show.
However, after the gig ended, he was taken to an undisclosed London hospital for a thorough medical examination.
Some fans at the arena claimed to have seen the 19-year-old faint and others believed he'd hit his head on a speaker.
However, the star singer managed to leave the stage himself with help from staff and members of his management team.
Manager Scooter Braun stepped up to the microphone to explain the situation to the worried crowd.
He said:"Justin got very light of breath, the whole show he's been complaining.
"He's backstage with the EMTs (emergency medical team) and the doctor.
"They're telling him they want him to go and see somebody and find out what's going on with his lungs, he's just told me that in five minutes, if it's OK with you guys, he's going to come out and finish the show.
"So he might not be jumping around as much and everything else, you guys need to be patient with us, we're not trying to be disrespectful, we're not trying to get you guys home late, we're truly trying to put on a show for the people who love him."
March 9th
Justin wrote to his 35 million followers on Twitter that he was "getting better".
He tweeted: "thanks for everyone pulling me thru tonight. best fans in the world. figuring out what happened. thanks for the love."
Manager Scooter added: "tough kid. proud night. once again he always finishes the show. full out. true pro.
"Now get better and rest up! strange night but proud nt. tough as nails."
A source close to the star said he was "just very tired from a long week" and was in hospital "for precautionary reasons".
An official spokeswoman said he had not been suffering from any health issues prior to the show.
April
Swedish cops 'found drugs and a stun-gun' on board Justin’s tour bus.
Police spokesman Lars Byström says officers were suspicious over a “strong smell of marijuana” coming from the vehicle outside the Grand Hotel in Stockholm on Wednesday night.
Byström said the drug squad were alerted and a search on the empty bus took place at Stockholm’s Globe Arena just 30 minutes before the popstar was on stage for his gig.
He added that they have no suspects and no one has been arrested.
He declined to identify the drug, saying it had been sent to a laboratory for an analysis but did confirm a "small amount of narcotics" were confiscated.
A source close to Justin confessed the tour bus was searched but insists nothing was found and there were no violations.
May
Biebs was the victim of a sophisticated Ocean’s Eleven style robbery while performing in South Africa.
Just a matter of hours after he finished performing at the Johannesburg FNB football stadium a gang gained entry through the room using hardware tools.
They broke into the venue’s secure cash storage room and robbed three million rand (£215,000) in cash, according to local media and police reports.
July 10th
A video of Justin and his friends has been posted on US website TMZ - and it shows the Biebs being too celebrity to use the loo like a real person.
In the video, the singer is leaving a nightclub in New York through the kitchen at the back. He's caught short, but instead of going back to the nightclub toilets, he whips his bits out in the kitchen and wees in the mop bucket.
"Quick piss break, this is the quickest place for a bathroom break," someone says in the video, which shows Justin wee-ing in front of all his friends and laughing. "We swagger man, that's the coolest spot to piss. You'll remember that forever," one of his mates adds. Seriously, Justin is friends with people who think going for a wee in a mop bucket gives him "swagger".
July 11th
Justin was reportedly removed from a Chicago nightclub after police were tipped off alcohol was being served to underage revelers.
The singer, 19, and his friends visited Bodi and police allegedly swooped on the club after they were told people under the legal drinking age of 21 were inside and had been served.
The pop star and his entourage were then said to have been asked to leave the nightspot with a police spokesperson telling TMZ cops did visit the venue.
July 18th
A police report has been filed against Justin Bieber by a DJ who claims the singer spat at him in a nightclub.
Addison Ulhaq was performing at the Social Room in Columbus, Ohio on July 13 when the pop star's minders are said to have approached the disc jockey on a number of occasions throughout the evening demanding he not take pictures of the star.
He claims he did not take any photographs of Justin but says Justin used insulting language towards him.
July 25th
The Biebs has the support of his family and one of his closest Beliebers has got his back - his grandmother.
Diana Dale has spoken out to defend her grandson and has called for people to give him an easier ride as he's doing the things a normal 19-year-old would do but Justin just happens to be in the public eye.
Well, we don't know about you but at 19 we weren't peeing in buckets while our mates filmed it. We were very well behaved, you see. Practically angelic.
Justin's gran told Canada's CTV News Ottowa: "It's totally crazy. I feel sorry for Justin all the time because paparazzi pick on him all the time.
"Anybody else's kids have done the same thing but nobody says anything."
July 27th
He's branded "disgusting" and "revolting" in latest stunt - and now faces yet another backlash from furious fans.
Pictures published by US website TMZ showed the troubled teen star spitting from the top of his Toronto apartment.
Hordes of dedicated fans were gathered underneath his window, and the confused singer had only just put a video message on Instagram.
He wrote next to a clip of delighted fans waving at him from below his window - "I wake up this morning to this :0 Best fans in the wotrld. #beliebers #sexyfans."
July 29th
A bus connected with Justin Bieber's tour was reportedly stopped by police on Sunday night after it was suspected marijuana and drug paraphernalia was on board.
The vehicle is said to have been held at the border between the American state of Michigan and Canada with Chief Customs and Border Protection Officer Ken Hammond telling TMZ a sniffer dog sensed there was marijuana on board.
The Baby singer was not on the bus which was held at the Ambassador Bridge which separates Windsor in Canada and the US city of Detroit.
July 31st
The singer was accused of hitting a paparazzi photographer in June while driving in the city of Los Angeles.
The paparazzo claimed Justin pinned him between his white Ferrari and a parked car before driving off without getting out of the car.
At the time Justin claimed he had no idea there were allegations anyone had been hit by his expensive vehicle.
The pop star was originally cleared of the charge but police decided to take another look at the case and sent it to the LA County District Attorney but now the case has been rejected a second time, according to TMZ.]
August 1st
One fan threw her phone at the singer during a concert, and instead of typing his number into it (like she probably expected) he shoved it down his trousers, walked about for a bit, pulled it out and threw it off ... in the other direction.
Say goodbye to your phone, little girl!
Let's have a watch of Justin being a bit gross with a fan's phone then shall we?
It's around 1:20 if you don't want to listen to the full song ...
August 5th
Justin’s night out ended in a bloody brawl, according to reports.
The bratty teenager allegedly “went nuts” at another guest inside a New York club before being escorted out.
Shortly after Bieber’s raging exit it’s claimed his friends and members of his security were "involved in a fight", and an eyewitness reported seeing blood.
A source told the New York Daily News: "He ripped his shirt off and went nuts. He was screaming."
The incident unfolded in Southampton club South Pointe as his security team are accused of being “heavy handed” and “intimidating” to other party-goers. His spokesperson denied the story.
August 8th
Well it's certainly a new way of attracting girls – Biebs was seen using a torch he shines on their faces to handpick who he wants.
He used the flashlight to handpick two sexy cocktail waitresses at South Pointe club in the Hamptons.
According to the New York Daily News Diana Bhokasub, 24, and Sophia Rayo, 32, were chosen to accompany him back to the private home where he was staying.
A source said: “Justin gets mobbed wherever he goes so his new think is to use a flashlight to look for ladies.
“He shines it around so girls look up and then if he likes the look of them he leaves the light on them.
"His minders and friends then know who he wants and go and ask if they want to join Justin in the VIP section of clubs and bars. Most girls don’t seem to mind.”
August 12th
Pictures of Bieber posing completely naked emerged online showing him cover his dangly bits with a guitar.
What’s more, the photos of nude Biebs obtained by TMZ were taken in October last year and show his near-tattooless body. Double naked, basically.
Naturally it led to some LOLsome individuals making jokes about strumming his wood but admittedly it does feel a bit intrusive seeing him in the buff.
Apparently the 19-year-old knocked on his grandma’s door covering his sausage and scrotum with the plucky instrument and starting mumbling lyrics like, "I love you grandma, how are you, hello grandma."
August 23rd
It caused a Twitter meltdown - Baby crooner Bieber was hugging and kissing teen star Ariana Grande in a raunchy selfie.
Dozens of Beleibers lashed out, accusing Ariana of stealing another woman's man and/or having the audacity to touch the pint sized pop star.
Cue cute redhead Ariana deleting the picture (too late love, it was retweeted 27,000 times in just three hours) and then said Justin forced her to post the picture.
Basically the pair ran into each other backstage and Biebs wanted a snap with the lovely Ariana.
She told MTV: "Justin was like, 'Yo, let's take a picture', and so I took out my phone... I was just smiling and he kissed me on the cheek.
"I didn't know what to do. I just walked out of the room. I got shy. And then Scooter [Justin's manager] came to me and said, 'Justin says you have to post that picture', and I said, 'I will not'.
"I was like, 'I can't do that because I don't want the drama that's going to come with that'."
But she was eventually persuaded after Justin reached out to her on Twitter.
The Biebs told her: “Post that pic and tell your grandma she is a cutie,” alluding to the kissy snap. Is this normal?
October 3rd
After a quiet September, it seems like things are on the up for Justin after a string of charges for his bad behaviour are cleared.
The singer allegedly threatened to kill and spat at his neighbour in March, after the resident confronted him for driving recklessly around his gated community.
The neighbour had reportedly saved evidence of Bieber spitting on him, but the star denied that the incident ever happened.
The Los Angeles District Attorney's office concluded that that charges should be dropped, as it was a case of one person's word against another.
Could this be the start of a new JB? Possibly... but probably not.
October 14th
Pfft. Who were we kidding? He's dragged into fresh controversy after apparently having a heated row with a DJ who refused to take the singer's hip-hop music requests..
Peeved Brit DJ and producer Michael Woods, who was working at the club in South Korea during the alleged incident, took to Twitter to address the spat.
He claimed Bieber "muscled" his way into the DJ booth.
"Next time u wanna take a cheap shot at my Tour Manager @justinbieber stick around to follow it thru instead of runnin off like a lil p****."
"Story is @justinbieber + his army of heavy security muscled in to the booth half way thru my set in S. Korea demanding hip hop..."
Woods also claimed there was a scuffle, saying: "So when I told @justinbieber to f*** off and put some clothes on he took a cheap shot at my tour manager and fled behind a wall of security."
October 20th
Now it gets a bit saucy! Justin apparently groped a stripper's bum at a gentleman's club in Texas and left a bundle of cash as a tip for the dancers.
A dancer wrote on Twitter: "He touched my Ass I Almost fainted, He Was Like Its Real !!"
Another post read: "I've Danced For A Lot Of Celebrities And They Normally Don't Phase Me But Justin Just Had Me In Shock !"
Naturally pictures show Justin topless in the club and Lira Galoe tweeted the snap of dosh above, which apparently Biebs and his entourage left as a tip. Nice.
November 3rd
The nuisance has been pictured trying to sneak out of popular Brazilian "brothel" Centaurus with the help of his burly minders who covered him in a white sheet.
The 19-year-old jumped into the back of a waiting car and was joined by two females from the club, according to various local reports.
An insider says Justin believed he was a guest at a private club. Which is probably fair enough.
But according to one website, Centaurus is listed as the "Top 4th" brothel in the world, and says "$210 buys you 40 minutes with any girl".
Oh.
November 4th
Can't the kid catch a break?
He stormed off stage in Sao Paulo without saying goodbye after being struck by a water bottle thrown from the crowd.
Earlier the Canadian star had sparked fury after kicking a Brazilian flag which had been thrown onto a walkway through the audience.
And Bieber, who was kicking off the Brazil leg of his Believe tour, had already irritated fans after arriving one hour 20 minutes late to the Anhembi Arena.
He was also more than three hours late for a meet and greet with fans who had paid up to £1000 to spend some time with their idol. Some things never change.
November 28th
The council have ordered Bieber's artwork to be removed from their walls.
After a gig in Brisbane as part of his Australian tour, the floppy-haired singer returned to his hotel and spray painted the outdoor wall with some colourful scribbles that made our three-year-old sister look like Picasso.
Despite the Baby getting permission from the hotel to do the doodles, the local council ordered it to be removed due to a zero tolerance approach to graffiti in the area.
A Gold Coast City Council spokesperson told AAP: "It might be on private land but its in prominent public view.
"The mayor will be contacting our compliance officers today to have a notice issued to the hotel to clean it up."
December 5th
Justin Bieber was 'detained in Australia as customs officials find drugs on entourage member'.
The Baby singer is said to have used "inappropriate language" when speaking to a female customs officer while passing through Brisbane International Airport last month, according to TMZ.
A spokeswoman for the Australian Federal Police confirmed Justin, who is currently Down Under on tour, and his pals were stopped within minutes of them landing in the Australian city.
A 23-year-old US national has been ordered to attend court in Brisbane on Friday and a 19-year-old was given a verbal warning by the Australian Federal Police for using inappropriate language while speaking to a customs officer.
Justin was also reportedly threatened with arrest when he refused to remove his hat and glasses before a customs inspection.
December 14th
Paramedics rushed to Justin Bieber's home after a girl passed out inside the property.
A 911 call was made to the emergency services and ambulances were dispatched at around 3:00am after the 20-year-old was found unconscious at the house.
A source told 3am Online: "A member of the singer's security team called 911. The girl is fine. The call was made out of caution. She ate some food and drank some water and was fine."
Pop star Justin was at the house at the time the call was made, according to TMZ.
It is understood the person who called the emergency services said they would take the girl privately to hospital.
December 25th
He made the shock announcement of RETIREMENT on Twitter on Christmas Eve – or Christmas Day in the UK.
The Canadian, who has just released latest album Journals, told his 47 million followers: "My beloved beliebers I'm officially retiring."
He then went on to make the claim that being a belieber is actually a "lifestyle".
January 13th, 2014
The troublemaker was accused of throwing at least 20 eggs at a house in his gated community in Calabasas, California.
And it has now emerged that the bizarre incident could have set his fellow resident back a small fortune.
According to TMZ, Justin's neighbour is expected to hear back about damage estimates but since the entire front of the property needs to be replastered, the cost is expected to be far higher than the original $400 anticipated.
Due to the costly nature of the Venetian plaster, the job will reportedly set the owner back by a whopping $15,000, with an extra $5,000 needed to re-stain the doors.
To add insult to injury, Justin has apparently not contacted his neighbour to apologise since the incident.
