Justin Bieber sends a warning to fans on social media

Sorry singer doesn't hold back in latest Instagram post

JUSTIN Bieber is renowned for having a sea of adoring – and sometimes obsessive – 'Beliebers' across the world.

But in his latest Instagram post, the 22 year old slammed fans after negative posts surrounding his alleged 'girlfriend' – Lionel Richie's daughter Sofia – began to surface.

The What Do You Mean singer posted a series of black and white shots with Sofia on his Instagram page – but it seems comments from trolls started to get him down.

In a warning to fans, he captioned his latest image: "I'm gonna make my Instagram private if you guys don't stop the hate this is getting out of hand.

"If you guys are really fans you wouldn't be so mean to people that I like."

It comes after a series of fan comments seemed to slate his dating choices, with one writing: "give up your friends give up your fans and choose Sofia you think she is your the one?"

And after Justin made the threat, fans were quick to respond, with one adding: "R.I.P BELIEBERS AUGUST 14, 2016.... justin biebers calls his army just "fans"…"

"I've been 6 years in this family and I had never felt stupid or pathetic as I do now." added another. 

Only weeks ago, the Sorry singer performed a sold-out gig in New Jersey – and slammed fans for trying to give him gifts. 

The Love Yourself singer said to the crowd: "Take this moment to listen and try not to give me a hat or whatever you're trying to throw onto the stage right now, because I probably don't want that s**t." 

And Justin has also sparked conversation on Instagram only two weeks ago, after posting a video in pool filled with four toned, beautiful bikini-clad friends swimming around – where he can allegedly be heard asking for a sexual act.

And it seems fans were equally as distressed at the video as they are to his 'warning' – as one fan responded: "I kinda lost a little respect for him because I thought that he was so much better than this."
