The management team have denied that Justin Bieber will be retiring, despite the star tweeting the news earlier this week.
On Christmas day, the tearaway pop cretin took to Twitter to say:
My beloved beliebers I'm officially retiring
— Justin Bieber (@justinbieber) December 25, 2013
The media talks a lot about me.They make a up a lot of lies and want me to fail but I'm never leaving you, being a belieber is a lifestyle.
— Justin Bieber (@justinbieber) December 25, 2013
Be kind loving to each other, forgive each other as god forgave us through Christ Merry Christmas IM HERE FOREVER
— Justin Bieber (@justinbieber) December 25, 2013
However, speaking to the Wall Street Journal, COO of Scooter Braun Projects, Scott Manson, has claimed that the singer isn, said that Bieber was "100 percent" not retiring.
GM Allison Kaye went on to say: "Justin is a hard working 19-year-old who would prefer that his recent fundraising work in the Philippines and the considerable amount raised for the cause be the media’s focus more than the recent reporting on him retiring.
"Regarding his recent tweeting about his 'retirement' Justin felt that this was the best way to respond to the latest in a long line of inaccurate or wildly exaggerated media reports about him. He chose to channel his frustration into playing along with this baseless rumor and even used 'beloved' to tip off his core fans that it wasn't real. She added: "But within 20 minutes, Justin realized that fans were confused by the media reports and clarified that he was kidding. This wasn't a planned stunt, it was just another day in the life of living under the microscope.
She added: "Justin loves his fans and understands that this scrutiny comes along with his success and the interest in him from fans and media."
The news is sure to disappoint Gigwise readers, who voted Bieber as music's Villain Of The Year, 2013.
