A video from five years ago of Justin Bieber has come back to haunt him. The then 14-year-old singer changed the lyrics of his popular song “One Less Lonely Girl” and created a “parody”, replacing “girl” with the N-word. In the video, which was posted by TMZ, Bieber shamelessly sings, “One less lonely n—–r”, along with brutally viscious lyrics like, “If I kill you, I’ll be part of the KKK, but there’ll be one less lonely n—-r.” While only 30 seconds long, the young Justin has not a care in the world that he is hating on a race, giggling throughout, showing no remorse for his hateful words.
According to Bieber, comedians had initially made up the parody of the song, which he only reused and filmed – as if that was an excuse!
Telling his now friends, Usher and Will Smith, about the video, Bieber admits that it was a dumb move, and Usher showed the young star some other “historically racist videos” during the time of incident to help show Bieber how wrong he really was. While several years ago, the nature of this incident is probably going to lead to a change of heart for those once-loyal Beliebers out there.
Many will be happy to know that his team is giving him no sympathy! According to TMZ, the team actually told the site to post the video online so that he could see it and own up to it. Will it be sincere? There’s hope – after telling a racist joke a year later, Bieber issued an apology claiming that “As a kid, I didn’t understand the power of certain words and how they can hurt…I thought it was ok to repeat hurtful words and jokes, but didn’t realize at the time that it wasn’t funny and that in fact my actions were continuing the ignorance.” Let this be a lesson, Justin Bieber, words can hurt!
