According to former Nickelodeon star Drake Bell, several big-name celebrities nowadays "didn't earn their fame." Therefore, their sense of entitlement is total BS - and poisonous.

In a recent interview with BuzzFeed, the popular "Drake and Josh" star sparks beef with a slew of well-known musicians (including Lady Gaga, Ariana Grande, and of course, Justin Bieber). The harsh criticism is currently going viral online.

Grande's ultimate downfall? The young songstress is already "a billionaire before she's been an artist. You have to work to be able to appreciate what you have, and what work did she ever have to do in her life?" 

As for the Biebs and Mother Monster -  "Artists like Lady Gaga and Justin Bieber... don't come out and say, 'I love having you as my fans, but you shouldn't be acting this way.' They just eat it all up, and I think it's repulsive." 

Bell continues his rant with, "Justin Bieber just tweets, 'Yeah, Beliebers, go hard' when they're attacking somebody. Ariana Grande's fans told Perez Hilton that he and his son needed to die and get cancer, and she just fed it. It's disgusting." 

Apparently, Bell thinks these stars are a bad influence - they simply take advantage of their fans because they have nothing to lose. But that's not okay.

"Artists like Justin Bieber or Lady Gaga have more sway over popular minds than a politician," Bell explains. "They could get on a pedestal and say, 'This is how you should treat people.'" But instead, pop stars like Bieber are "going around telling kids that as long as you have enough money and swag, you can do whatever you want. Instead of working to change the world, [he's saying,] 'Work to get as much money and power as possible because then you can do whatever you want and no one can say anything to you.' I just think that's a gross, awful, terrible message." 

The bottom line - celebs should exude more positive energy. "We didn't sign up to be role models, but we are," Bell concludes.

Is Bell right, or are his comments way out of line? This isn't the first time the 27-year-old comedian sparked a cyber feud with Bieber... now he's out for more blood.

Bieber, Grande, and Gaga have yet to respond to Bell's angry remarks. Check out the full interview here.
