Justin Bieber Rambles to Fans on Stage, Says He’s Not Here for Your Crappy Gifts
Over the past month, we’ve learned that Justin Bieber is officially a really big fan of the existential ramble. Just two weeks ago, he shared a couple of emo notes on Instagram, writing: “I don’t always feel god’s presence, I feel it may be human distractions or maybe I’m letting lies detour me from accessing it.” And over the weekend, the 22-year-old pop star offered his unique insight into the meaning of life while performing for fans at Boardwalk Hall Arena in Atlantic City, New Jersey.
It started with Biebs first begging people in the crowd to stop throwing their “shit” gifts onto the stage: “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 shit,” he said. When the crowd started cheering, he added, “Sorry, that was mean. But yeah, no, I lost what I was going to say. I was deep into, like, a mode and a zone. I was into it. Now I’m out of it. I’ll get it back. Just give me a second.”

I know that sometimes when we wake up in the morning, and it’s like ‘God another day.’ ” OK, sure Biebs.
