Justin Bieber just became enemies with the wrong person.
With Floyd Mayweather set to go toe-to-toe with Conor McGregor in the ring this Saturday in Las Vegas, Bieber recently showed who he’s backing in the upcoming bout after he decided to unfollow Mayweather on Instagram.
Here’s the release courtesy of TMZ.
Sources connected to both Justin and Floyd tell us, the folks at the Hillsong Church have been counseling Justin for months on taking a hard look at his friends and pulling back from those who are bad influences.
We’re told church pastors did not single out Floyd as a bad influence, but Justin decided on his own he needed some distance. Our sources say Justin didn’t want a clean break from Floyd, he just wanted to “reset boundaries” … walling himself off from things like Floyd’s obsession with strip clubs.
Justin unfollowed Floyd on Instagram as part of the resetting of boundaries, and our sources say Floyd went “insane, nuclear.” He lashed out at Justin, called him a “traitor” because Floyd had stuck with Justin during his meltdown when everyone was attacking Bieber.
Whether it’s all marketing or not, Mayweather was really upset when he found out Bieber unfollowed him on Instagram, especially since they’ve been very loyal to each other over the past few years.
Back in 2013, Bieber stood to the left of Mayweather as the undefeated boxer walked out to the ring for his bout with Saul Alvarez.
Not only is the timing strange with Mayweather set to return to the ring for the first time in over two years on Saturday, but Bieber’s latest single happens to be called ‘Friends’, and clearly Mayweather isn’t one of his.
