He has been trying to shake his bad boy, spoiled brat image for the last year, but with one badly thought out message to his adoring fans on Tuesday, Justin Bieber has landed himself back at peak obnoxious level once more.
In a lengthy Instagram post, the 22-year-old Canadian pop singer told his 62.6 million fans – the very people who got him to the privileged position that he finds himself in today – that meeting them makes him feel "depressed" and "mentally and emotionally exhausted".
The bleached blonde Baby crooner, who is currently on his Purpose World Tour, says he will now "cancel" upcoming meet and greets that his fans have already bought tickets for because although he wants to see people happy, he doesn't want it to be at his "expense".
"I enjoy meeting such incredible people but I end up feeling so drained and filled with so much of other people's spiritual energy that I end up so drained and unhappy," Bieber, who once dated Selina Gomez, 23, and is now linked with Kourtney Kardashian, 36, said.
"Want to make people smile and happy but not at my expense and I always leave feeling mentally and emotionally exhausted to the point of depression.
"The pressure of meeting people's expectations of what I'm supposed to be is so much for me to handle and a lot on my shoulders. Never want to disappoint but I feel I would rather give you guys the show and my albums as promised.
"Can't tell you how sorry I am, and wish it wasn't so hard on me.. And I want to stay in the healthy mindset I'm in to give you the best show you have ever seen," he said.
His news was met with fury with one fan asking: "What about the people that paid??" While another bluntly put it: "Fuck you".
"I feel bad for all the people that already bought the M&G tickets! I hope this time he is keeping his promises!" @crushonkingjb said.
One fan that Bieber doesn't mind meeting and greeting at his shows is none other than fellow bad boy and tantrum thrower, Kanye West.
Ye and wife Kim Kardashian West attended the Biebs' show on Sunday night in LA and the Keeping Up With the Kardashians star couldn't help but share some Snapchat videos of the rapper-turned-fashion designer getting down to What Do You Mean?
Kardashian West also serenaded her husband with a rendition of As Long As You Love Me.
Let's just hope there'll be no more egg-throwing.
What do you mean by @JustinBieber was my favorite song of 2015
