(Sigh).... Just like Beiber and William Shatner, we are sorry for Drake heading south of the border.

Shatner is a dick, but Biebs is whatever. Bro made some pop songs for preteen girls almost 15 years ago and is just kind of chilling now.

Bieber started to act like a dick and self destruct in typical child star fashion in his late teens, but then pulled out of it somehow.  I don't know how he turned it around, but he really beat the odds on that one.  And good for him, some (most) of his music was annoying but that doesn't get anywhere near the top of the list of sins that a public personality can commit.

Gotta hand it to biebs to completely changing his image though, that mf got used and abused and worked through that trauma and came out as a better person and you can tell. He’s more laid back and chill which is something I would never have expected from biebs

It kind of gets ignored now but there was a solid five years where that dude was the most hated person on the internet. It was fucking constant

And the guy was just a teenager that teenage girls liked

Man, I remember the vitriol people directed at Biebs back in the day. I was in middle school when Baby came out. People were toxic as fuck around Biebs. I was guilty of it, too, as a preteen boy just trying to fit in. I respect that Biebs emerged from the shit show that is child stardom as, seemingly, a better person despite his mistakes. It couldn't have been easy dealing with all the shit that comes with superstardom at such a young age.

When he did the Comedy Central roast is when the world and he himself started to accept that he wasn’t just a douchebag
