The
superstar singer has a notoriously loyal fan base, but he has found
himself between a rock and a new girlfriend thanks to some recent
images.
It all started when Bieber posted some photos on Instagram of himself and his latest gal pal, Sofia Richie.
Richie,
who is a 17-year-old model, as well as the daughter of
singer/songwriter Lionel Richie, has been seen out and about with Bieber
in recent weeks.
The Instagram
photos did not go over well with some of Bieber's followers, apparently,
because they had plenty to say about it -- most of which was not nice.
Well,
the singer did not take kindly to the comments. He threatened to block
access to his social media accounts, which for Beliebers, could be the
equivalent of cutting off their oxygen supply.
"I'm
gonna make my Instagram private if you guys don't stop the hate," the
22-year-old pop star wrote in a caption of a black and white photo of
himself and Richie. "This is getting out of hand, if you guys are really
fans you wouldn't be so mean to people that I like."

The social media schooling
turned serious when Bieber's ex, singer Selena Gomez, weighed in on the
drama. "If you can't handle the hate then stop posting pictures of your
girlfriend lol - it should be special between you two only," Gomez wrote
on Instagram.
"Don't be mad at your fans," Gomez added. "They love you."
Bieber clapped back by
commenting, "It's funny to see people that used me for attention and
still try to point the finger this way. Sad. All love."
Now, #RIPBeliebers and #SelenaEndedJustinParty is a thing, with folks declaring themselves Bieber free and #TeamGomez.
