With Justin Bieber, nothing is done halfway. He never settles for simply releasing a single; he pairs music with live performances and charitable work, creating a whirlwind that keeps North American fans guessing what comes next. Following the release of the single Boyfriend, the headlines rolled in and the chatter grew about tours, media appearances, and potential collaborations that could shape his next chapter.
JB News #1: He may face legal trouble over a prank phone call. Earlier this month, Bieber posted a nine-digit phone number on Twitter and urged followers to call him right away. The post was deleted, but thousands of Beliebers dialed the number, attempting to guess the final digits. Two Texas residents reported receiving more than a thousand calls, and they described Bieber’s stunt as reckless. The incident sparked questions about social media responsibility and the possible legal implications of online pranks.
JB News #2: He’s guest hosting the revival of PUNK’D. The iconic MTV prank show has returned after a hiatus, with Bieber stepping in as a guest host. Alongside Ashton Kutcher, he helped stage playful ruses on friends and peers, including high-profile names such as Taylor Swift, Miley Cyrus, Sean Kingston, and Rob Dyrdek, keeping viewers entertained and conversations buzzing about the next big reveal.
JB News #3: He’s been Tweeting with Madonna. Bieber’s Twitter presence drew sharp attention as his follower count surged beyond one million in a short period, and he exchanged messages with Madonna herself. Madonna complimented his work and signaled interest in a future stage collaboration when their tours align. Bieber replied with gratitude, viewing the praise as a significant career moment and a nod to the music industry’s enduring respect for his momentum.
JB News #4: He’s referred to Carly Rae Jepsen as “My Artist.” Carly Rae Jepsen, best known for Call Me Maybe, appeared on The Ellen DeGeneres Show, and Bieber introduced her as his protégé, claiming he discovered her after hearing her song on a Canadian radio station and sharing her information with his manager Scooter Braun, which helped propel her career. The pair hinted at a possible collaboration, but nothing was confirmed at that time.
So there you have it, the buzz surrounding the single BELIEVE and the surrounding conversations that keep fans engaged across the United States and Canada. The momentum suggests more headlines are likely as the year continues and new music follows the initial splash.
