The young thug has been linked to a number of people in the past, and now, the Internet is up in arms over thoughts that the former singer-turned-headline-maker is dating Alec Baldwin's daughter Hailey Baldwin. Full disclosure? They're not dating at all.

Well, there you have it, he's "super" single. So, that's cool.

Gossip Cop reported that the Bieber-Baldwin daiting rumors were just that ... which is unfortunate becase think of all the fun the media could have with "Bieber-Baldwin" nicknames. Hey, let's try a few:

Biebwin. Baldber. Be-Win. Eh, okay, we're done...

On the rumors, Gossip Cop notes that the young 18-year-old Baldwin set the record straight in terms of her dating the Biebs, saying, "I've know him since I was so young – since I was like 13 – and we've just been good friends over the years. We have just stayed close, and there's nothing more to it than that."   

There you have it ... super single, folks.   

So what is Bieber up to now that he's officially not dating Hailey Baldwin? Well, causing up a stir on Instagram and Twitter, of course! Check out that aforementioned Chris Brown "choking" pic here:
