Justin Bieber retiring hoax: Pop star not retiring just frustrated, Joke was not a stunt for movie

Justin Bieber isn't retiring after admitting to fans that he was done with his music career. General Manager of Scooter Braun Projects, Allison Kaye released a statement about the pop star's threat to leave music and said that the Canadian star was just frustrated.

"Justin is a hard working 19 year old who would prefer that his recent fundraising work in the Philippines and the considerable amount raised for the cause be the media's focus more than the recent reporting on him retiring.

Regarding his recent tweeting about his "retirement" Justin felt that this was the best way to respond to the latest in a long line of inaccurate or wildly exaggerated media reports about him. He chose to channel his frustration into playing along with this baseless rumor and even used "beloved" to tip off his core fans that it wasn't real. But within 20 minutes, Justin realized that fans were confused by the media reports and clarified that he was kidding. This wasn't a planned stunt, it was just another day in the life of living under the microscope. Justin loves his fans and understands that this scrutiny comes along with his success and the interest in him from fans and media."

On December 25, Bieber tweeted, "My beloved beliebers I'm officially retiring," he announced. 

"The media talks a lot about me. They make a up a lot of lies and want me to fail but I'm never leaving you, being a belieber is a lifestyle," he continued. "Be kind loving to each other, forgive each other as god forgave us through Christ Merry Christmas IM HERE FOREVER."
