00:00It is what it is, bro. There paparazzi everywhere for you. Like, you're Justin Bieber, bro.
00:04You're not getting it. It's not clocking to you that I'm standing on business, is it?
00:07At the beach. At the beach. At the beach. At the beach.
00:11Last week, Justin Bieber stood on business as he confronted a group of paparazzi who was determined to kill his vibe.
00:17I don't know. It just seems kind of off to me.
00:19In the video, Justin can be heard saying, it's not clocking to you that I'm standing on business, is it?
00:24Things got a little heated between Justin and the pap.
00:27Their exchange went viral from content creator reenactments.
00:30Give me the Justin Bieber video.
00:32I'm a dad. I'm a husband. You're not getting it. It's not clocking to you.
00:36It's not clocking to you that I'm standing on business, is it?
00:40I don't give a f*** if you're on the f***ing sidewalk. I'm a f***ing human being.
00:43It's not clocking to you that I'm standing on business.
00:45You don't get it yet that I'm clocking on business, that I'm standing on clocks.
00:49You're not clocking. It's not clicking. What's not clicking, Steven?
00:52You're not clocking on my business. You're not standing on my clock. You know what I mean?
00:56Justin having a little fun himself.
00:58He took to Instagram where he shared a content creator's remix of his viral moment.
01:03You're not getting it. It's not clocking to you that I'm standing on business, is it?
01:06At the beach. At the beach. At the beach. At the beach.
01:10I'm standing on business. At the beach. At the beach.
01:13Then Justin posted a black and white image with the caption,
01:17Y'all think the business is a joke, but you're drunk.
01:19This video of Justin and the paparazzi has started an interesting discourse online.
01:24In the video, Justin talks about setting boundaries,
01:26while the paparazzi say they're just doing their jobs.
01:30But we started to wonder, who's right?
01:32Should Justin be left alone, or were the paparazzi just doing their jobs?
01:36We took it to the streets of West Hollywood to see what you all thought.
01:39He's always reacted a little bit, you know, strange when it comes to paparazzis and stuff.
01:43Who knows what's going on through his head, but I feel like you know what you sign up for
01:48when you become a celebrity, when you become someone famous, and, I mean,
01:52people are wanting to take a picture and find out what you're all up to.
01:55Take that to heart and be grateful, I guess.
01:57Saw the video. I thought that, you know, the way he went about it was pretty funny.
02:03I kind of feel for him because being like a child star, like how much of it did you choose?
02:07Like sometimes when I think about like older celebrities who chose actively to become famous,
02:11or that was part of their career ambitions, like, and they had like years on their lives
02:16of experience when they made that choice, I'm like, okay, well that's part of your job
02:19is to handle these people, but I feel like him being a child star, like I always feel like
02:23child stars just kind of got like the shorter end of the stick.
02:27I don't really know what else to say, but he's obviously going through some problems.
02:30I don't know, it looked like he might be struggling with something,
02:33because I've never seen him be like that, and lately a lot of things have been coming
02:38out with him and his partner, and yeah, so I feel like, I don't know, he's just struggling
02:45with things, and we kind of see it manifest in him lashing out on media.
02:50Like 100% no way he talks like that.
02:52That's like an adapted personality.
02:55He's been hanging around too many people in hip-hop and stuff, and now he's like on that type.
03:00I think one of your responsibilities as a celebrity is knowing that paparazzi is going
03:06to be around you your whole life, especially when you choose to go down that path of making
03:10music, I feel like it's one of the parts of the jobs, and so he obviously hasn't handled
03:16it well in his career, and he hasn't really done a great job of it, so I don't know, it
03:21just seems kind of off to me.
03:22I know he always fights with the paparazzi, so I feel like it's not out of the ordinary
03:28to see that video.
03:29I mean, like, he has his own personal space and whatnot.
03:32I feel like as an individual, sometimes we got to respect that.
03:35I feel like a lot of people be intrusive and whatnot, so he definitely has a right to be
03:38mad about that for sure.
03:39There's two sides to this, right?
03:40Like, I don't know what he goes through, because whenever he's out, I'm sure there's
03:45probably paparazzi always behind him, so he gets annoyed.
03:49I think there's something about, like, I don't remember what it was, but someone once told me,
03:53like, when you make the choice to enter, like, the public eye, like, your rights change under,
03:58like, American law anyways, and it's something about, like, what you're able to sue about with
04:02defamation and things like that.
04:03And so, like, considering, like, it's a public space and, like, once you are in the public
04:07eye, if you choose to remain in it and not, you know, go and drop off and live a quiet life,
04:14I think, yeah, I think it's fine that they're on the street.
04:16That's their job.
04:17You know, they're doing their job and he's doing his job and part of his job is hanging out
04:21or answering some questions, probably.
04:23He's famous.
04:24Obviously, he wants to have, like, his own space.
04:27It could have been handled maybe by both people, like, better, but who cares?
04:31Like, I mean, it just is what it is, bro.
04:33There's paparazzi everywhere for you.
04:34Like, Justin Bieber.
04:35But what do you think?
04:36Was Bieber overreacting or were the paparazzi doing the most?
