Justin Bieber is being sued for $650,000 over a cancelled club appearance, according to a new report.
The 22-year-old pulled out of an appearance at Beachclub in Montreal, Canada back in August - the same spot where Kylie Jenner celebrated her 18th birthday.
According to TMZ, Justin backed out of the gig after Team Productions wanted to negotiate a lower rate because the star had not promoted the event on social media.

He had apparently been promised $250,000 when he signed the deal and then another $175,000 before he travelled to Canada for the event.
The singer tweeted his apologies to the fans who had been looking forward to seeing him - and the company claim his social media posts caused damages to their livelihood and reputation.
'Montreal due to the promoter of today's event breaking his contract and lying I will not be able to attend today's event,' he wrote on Twitter.
'I look forward to coming back to Montreal in the future to do a proper show but I will not be able to attend 2day due to this breach.'
Scathing: Team Productions claims this tweet from the pop star lost them work and damaged their reputation

TMZ reports that Team Productions are seeking $650,000 because no one wants to work with them following Justin's scathing tweets.
The company is asking for $500k in potential lost earnings, $100k for damages to their reputation and a further $50k in punitive damages.
Beachclub had prepared for The Biebs by constructing a unique $20,000 floating skate ramp for the star to use.
'We are incredibly disappointed and upset by the lack of professionalism exhibited by Team Productions (the event's promoter) in violating their contract with Justin Bieber and disappointing the thousands of fans that were going to flock to Beachclub today,' the a rep for the venue told TMZ.

Meanwhile, Justin told fans on Monday that he won't be taking his Purpose tour to Argentina on the advice of his lawyer.
He wrote on Twitter: 'Argentinian beliebers I would like nothing more than to bring the #purposetour there but until the legal conditions change there I can't.
'Argentina I do love you. It is in fact one of my favorite places to tour. I wish this was not the case. My lawyers say it is what it is.
'If things were to change I would love to come but at this time I cannot. For everyone else in South America I look forward to seeing you.'

He gave no explanation for why but there's no doubt it has something to do with the star's ongoing legal issues stemming from an assault case in 2013.
A judge issued an arrest warrant for the What Do You Mean? hitmaker to question him about a criminal case involving one of his bodyguards allegedly assaulting a photographer.
The arrest warrant was revoked last year but according to TMZ Justin's team is concerned that the judge will change his mind if the star tries to enter the country as the case is still pending.
Judge Albert Julio Banos allegedly ordered the Canadian crooner's 'immediate detention' because of a warrant stemming from an incident which took place in Buenos Aires in 2013.
