Is Justin Bieber targeting trolls with his Instagram story spam after that viral paparazzi meltdown in Malibu?
Justin Bieber is not here for slander! After a video of him scolding paparazzi while claiming he is ¡°standing on business¡± went viral, the pop star fired back in the most Bieber way possible¡ªselfies, sass, and a playlist full of bangers that scream: ¡°Yes, I said what I said.¡±

The internet might still be laughing, but Justin Bieber is having the last laugh, through a perfectly curated Instagram Story, of course. After the pop star¡¯s fiery paparazzi showdown went viral for his now-iconic line ¡°It¡¯s not clocking to you that I¡¯m standing on business,¡± he responded the only way a certified legend would: with cheeky selfies and a playlist that doubles as a clapback.

Not clocking the Bieber energy? That¡¯s a you problem said the OG himself
ICYMI, the 31-year-old was papped during a Malibu beach stroll, and instead of silently tolerating the lens invasion, he snapped. In the viral footage, Justin firmly told the paparazzi that he was a father, a husband, and a man with zero tolerance for games¡ªbasically declaring he was not one to be played with. He even suggested the photographers were trying to provoke him on purpose.

The selfie mania of Justin Bieber
Fast forward a few days, and Bieber decided to break the internet again¡ªon his own terms. He posted a dramatic black-and-white selfie, serving hoodie-core and beard realness, and paired it with Myia B Music¡¯s Stand on Business. Coincidence? Absolutely not.

He did not stop there. The Peaches singer went full-on meme mode, uploading more selfies with tracks like Soulja Rilla¡¯s Standing on Business and Fredo Bang¡¯s Dat Business. The message was loud, clear, and dripping with sarcasm: he knows you are laughing, and he is laughing harder.
Twitter explodes over his energy
Naturally, X (formerly Twitter) was in stitches over the entire saga. One fan admitted they had been repeating Justin¡¯s phrase all day. Another joked it was the best thing he had done since Journals. Say what you want about the man, but he is the king of accidentally iconic lines.

Justin Bieber¡¯s real business includes being a dad, obviously
While the internet spiralled, Justin stayed booked and busy. He and wife Hailey have been thriving in their business ventures, like her rocking a custom leather jacket for his clothing label SKYLRK. Plus, the couple¡¯s cosy January Aspen trip and parent life with baby Jack prove Bieber¡¯s standing on actual business too.
So next time you see Justin in public? Maybe let the man walk in peace. He is a real dad. A real husband. And clearly, a real meme machine.
