Hailey Bieber savagely responds to Justin Bieber being ranked 8th greatest pop star of the 21st century

Hailey Bieber shared her thoughts after Justin Bieber was ranked eighth in a list of the greatest pop stars of the 21st century.

And it’s very clear she’s not happy about it.

Over the last few weeks, American music publication Billboard has been sharing the names of the musicians honoured with a place on the list.

In late October, it was revealed that the ‘What Do You Mean?’ singer was ranked eighth, putting him behind Kanye West, Britney Spears, Lady Gaga, Drake, and Rihanna.

The top two artists have yet to be revealed, but fans have speculated the final two are likely to be Beyoncé and Taylor Swift.

Although Bieber’s place on the list is respectable, the Rhode Skin beauty brand founder was far from impressed.

She made her feelings known by commenting on Billboard’s Instagram account, and on Thursday (November 21), a screenshot of the comment went viral.

“Billboard is a f***ing joke as per usual,” she wrote, signing off with a kiss emoji.

Bieber rose to fame after he was signed by music manager Scooter Braun at the age of 13.

He caught Braun’s attention after posting covers of hits by Chris Brown and Ne-Yo on his YouTube channel.

After releasing singles and an EP in 2009, his song ‘Baby’ was a massive worldwide hit. He has scored eight Billboard Hot 100 number one hits, 26 top 10s.

His most recent hit, ‘Stay’ with The Kid LAROI, spent 63 weeks on the Billboard Hot 100 chart.

And new music appears to be on the horizon. Speaking to The New York Times, writer and producer Mk.gee teased their collaboration process as well as a new project.

“He’s searching,” he said. “Anything that comes out of his mouth: That’s pop music. You can really do pretty wild stuff behind that, just because it represents something.”

Since welcoming his first child, a son named Jack Blues Bieber, with his wife Hailey, the singer has mostly kept out of the spotlight. The couple shared the news that they welcomed the baby boy in an Instagram post on August 24.

The Biebers got married in September 2018, and first announced that they were expecting a child together in May 2024.
