Justin Bieber Caught Using The ‘N-Word’ In A Racist Joke

Sun Magainze got their hands on some old footage of a young Justin Bieber in the studio telling a racist joke about black people being afraid of chainsaws and using the n-word in the footage above.

Why are black people afraid of chainsaws? Run n*****, n*****, n*****, n*****, n*****. (laughs)

Since the video has leaked, Justin has issued a statement to The Hollywood Reporter about the old footage.  Check out statement below.

“As a kid, I didn’t understand the power of certain words and how they can hurt. I thought it was ok to repeat hurtful words and jokes, but didn’t realize at the time that it wasn’t funny and that in fact my actions were continuing the ignorance. Thanks to friends and family I learned from my mistakes and grew up and apologized for those wrongs. Now that these mistakes from the past have become public I need to apologize again to all those I have offended. I’m very sorry. I take my friendships with people of all cultures very seriously and I apologize for offending or hurting anyone with my childish and inexcusable mistake. I was a kid then and I am a man now who knows my responsibility to the world and to not make that mistake again. Ignorance has no place in our society and I hope the sharing of my faults can prevent others from making the same mistake in the future. I thought long and hard about what I wanted to say but telling the truth is always what’s right. Five years ago I made a reckless and immature mistake and i’m grateful to those close to me who helped me learn those lessons as a young man. Once again….I’m sorry.”

Did Beyoncé Cheat On JAY Z With Her Bodyguard?

jayz-julius-

Words on the street is that Jay Z thinks that his wife Beyonce has been messing around their bodyguard Julius De Boer who was seen in the hotel elevator video protecting Jay Z from Beyonce’s sister Solange after she went off on him.

 

According to Star Magazine reports:

Beyoncé’s bodyguard, Julius De Boer, became instantly famous when — on surveillance video captured in a hotel elevator after the Met Gala — he saved her husband, Jay Z, from a brutal attack at the hands of her sister, Solange Knowles. On the video, Julius comes across as professional, loyal and level headed. But while all that may be true, Star has learned that there’s a lot more to the bodyguard — and his relationship with Beyonce — than meets the eye.

“Jay definitely thinks that there was and may still be something romantic going on between Bey and Julius,” an insider tells Star of the hip-hop mogul, whose own rumored cheating was the reported cause of Solange’s attack. “He wanted to fire Julius last February, but Beyonce said, ‘Julius isn’t going anywhere.’”

The “XO” singer and her bodyguard have raised eyebrows for years for their unusually close relationship. In 2009, they were spotted leaving a hotel, his lips stained with the signature’s signature red lipstick. Despite being subject to numerous cheating rumors himself, Jay is, nonetheless, “very jealous” of his wife’s friendship with Julius — and friends believe he may have a reason to be.

“They’ve spent a lot of time together behind closed doors,” the source explains. “He’s even stayed in her hotel room.”

Julius isn’t the only man to come between the power couple either.
