A video circulating online shows Justin Bieber having a heated exchange with a photographer outside Soho House in Malibu. Bieber repeatedly expressed concern about the video being taken out of context.
Bieber used the phrase “standing on business,” indicating he was serious and not backing down. He also accused the paparazzi of provoking him and claimed they would misrepresent the interaction.
The interaction escalated, with Bieber using expletives and expressing increasing frustration with the paparazzi's actions. The specifics of the argument are unclear due to muffled audio in the video.
Fans have been speculating about Bieber's well-being and possible connection between this incident and his recent social media activity. The overall tone of the social media activity has been aggressive, leading to fan concerns.
Justin Bieber is making headlines again.
In videos circulating across social media and news outlets, Mr. Bieber is shown having what appears to be a heated exchange with a photographer last Thursday outside Soho House in Malibu, Calif.
In the days since, fans have been speculating about his well-being and whether his social media posts, many of which could be read as fairly aggressive, have been a reaction to the incident.
The most widely shared section of the lengthy video shows Mr. Bieber, in a blue hooded sweatshirt, holding a flashlight next to his face, asking the photographer, “It’s not clocking to you that I’m standing on business, is it?”
The phrase “standing on business,” which can mean taking responsibility, but can also mean not backing down, is part of a larger conversation the singer has with what appears to be a group of paparazzi. Over the course of the discussion, he repeatedly expresses concern about how clips of the interaction could be misrepresented.
“You’re provoking me — you’re going to take this video out of context like you always do,” Mr. Bieber says, somewhat muffled by the voices of paparazzi assuring him they will not.
After that exchange, which is kept at a fairly even tone, the interaction becomes more heated. Mr. Bieber, growing increasingly frustrated, fires off numerous expletives and repeatedly asks the paparazzi why they are “trying to provoke” him.
