Justin Bieber Defends His Bulge
Justin Bieber wants you to know that his bulge in that CK poster is 100% real.

Justin Bieber has obviously been studying at the Mariah Carey Institue Of Shade, because he pulled the old “I don’t know her” (or him, in this case) when asked about fellow Canadian pop star Shawn Mendes in a recent radio interview. The host asked if he had any advice for his younger rival and the “What Do You Mean?” superstar seemingly drew a blank. “Who’s Shawn Mendes?” he asked his entourage.

The DJ then awkwardly listed Shawn’s credentials. “He’s on Island, he’s from Southern Ontario, he’s 17 years old, he has a song called ‘Stitches’ that’s doing ok at pop radio.” Justin’s response? “Nice. Good for him.” Cold! Even if he isn’t familiar with teen’s music, the new face (and abs) of Calvin Klein would at least recognize his name. After all, Shawn’s debut LP Handwritten debuted at number one on the Billboard 200 — something Journals failed to achieve. Watch up top.

Is this shade or has Justin really not listened to the radio or been online for the last year? Let us know below, or by hitting us up on Facebook and Twitter!
