Justin Bieber asks for ‘change’ after being ‘bullied’ by paparazzi

The Canadian singer said that he's been caught up in the 'transactional nature of Hollywood.'

Justin Bieber has been harassed by the paparazzi since the start of his lengthy career — and he’s had many run-ins with photographers over the years — but now he’s asking for “a change.”

On Friday, Bieber shared a statement on Instagram, saying that he will not be “bullied to leave” Los Angeles.

“Everyone telling me to move from La. U think I’m gonna get bullied to leave where my influence is most needed?” Bieber wrote. “How can we make a change if we run away from the darkness?”

The Sorry singer said that he’s been caught up in the “transactional nature of Hollywood.”

“It’s embarrassing but with that said I want nothing to do with that as a grown adult with a wife and son,” Bieber wrote. “I just want to be submerged in the culture learning from any and everyone And be a proponent and advocate for LOVE AND EQUALITY.”

In a follow-up post, Bieber posted a photo of a lion, writing, “THE LION. I BELIEVE GOD IS MY LION MY STRONG LEADER! ABLE TO FIGHT FOR ME ON MY BEHALF. I BELIEVE WHEREVER I AM, HE IS.”

The Lonely singer said he is currently asking god to “help me with patience because it can be really hard to not rip these f—in guys heads off.”
