Justin Timberlake was also reportedly in the running to sign Bieber but lost the bidding war to Usher.

On July 9, 2014, Bieber was charged with one misdemeanor count of vandalism for throwing eggs at his Calabasas neighbor's home. With him pleading no contest to the charge, the Los Angeles County Superior Court sentenced him on July 9 to pay $80,900 in restitution.

In July 2017, the Chinese government banned Justin Bieber from performing in China. A Chinese fan reached out to the Beijing Municipal Bureau of Culture requesting the reason for the ban. The Bureau released a statement, explaining "Justin Bieber is a gifted singer, but he is also a controversial young foreign singer", and "In order to maintain order in the Chinese market and purify the Chinese performance environment, it is not suitable to bring in badly behaved entertainers."

"Love Yourself" is a kiss-off to a narcissistic ex-lover who did Bieber wrong.

He became the first artist to have seven songs from a debut record chart on the Billboard Hot 100.

Bieber has two half-siblings: Jazmyn (born 2009) and Jaxon (born 2010).

He became the new "face" and "body" of Calvin Klein in early 2015.

Between Bieber's R&B vocals and the endearing, catchy rap interlude of Jaden Smith, son of Will and star of "The Karate Kid" for which the song was recorded, "Never Say Never" is one of Justin's many memorable duets.

He released his second studio album, Under the Mistletoe, in November 2011, when it debuted at number one on the Billboard 200.

Bieber supports Pencils of Promise, a charity founded by Adam Braun, the younger brother of Bieber's manager. The organization builds schools in developing countries, and Bieber became manager for the organization's campaign in Guatemala.
