Justin Bieber is not a happy camper! The 18-year-old pop star recently spoke to morning radio show "Mojo in the Morning" about his new album Believe, but the interview did not go according to plan. The conversation seemed to be running smoothly until the interviewer compared the "Boyfriend" singer to Justin Timberlake. Although there’s no denying that the two musicians have a similar sound, the teen phenomenon took the compliment as a jab, expressing his annoyance and later hanging up. Ouch!
"I hope you take this as a compliment," said host Mojo about Justin’s hit "Boyfriend." "When I first got played the song by your record people, and this was months and months before it came out, they said, 'Take a listen to this and tell me if you can tell me who this is.' I thought it was Justin Timberlake."
Despite Mojo’s good intentions, the "compliment" was not taken well. At all. Bieber replied, "Man, that’s crazy because our voices sound nothing alike. I mean, I’m not trying to sound like anyone. Saying I sound like someone else is not really a compliment." Awkward…
In the past, Bieber has admitted to being influenced by Timberlake, but this close of a comparison clearly irked the teen. The interview became even more awkward once Mojo brought up One Direction, causing the pop star to hang up and end the tense conversation for good. Check out the video below to listen to this extremely awkward interview!
It’s hard to tell who was in the wrong here. Is Justin just being immature or was Mojo out of line? Of all of the interviews and press he’s done, we’re sure Justin won’t forget this one anytime soon!
