Hailey writes Justin Bieber’s Billboard ranking is a ‘f***ing joke’
Billboard recently rolled out Justin Bieber’s ranking on the list of 25 Greatest Pop Stars of the 21st Century. However, Hailey Bieber wasn’t happy with her husband being ranked 8th and shared her reaction on Instagram. Responding to the publication’s announcement, the model said, “Billboard is a f—— joke as per usual.” The comment has since been deleted, but many fans shared similar reactions to the post.
After the Rhode founder’s comment, Justin Bieber’s fans defended her stance. Some believed the singer should have been ranked in the top 5 or top 3. A few others recalled how he was one of the artists who defined pop culture music and caused the “Bieber fever.” Many also slammed the publication, expressing that the singer will always be their number 1.
Meanwhile, Justin is enjoying his life as a dad to his son, Jack Blues Bieber, whom he welcomed alongside Hailey in August. He announced the arrival of the newborn on Instagram with a picture of his wife holding little Jack’s feet. Since then, he has been sharing rare glimpses of his son. Earlier this month, the singer posted a series of pictures of spending Halloween with his family. He held his son in a pink onesie while cosplaying characters from “Kim Possible” with his wife.
According to Billboard, Justin Bieber has received eight Billboard Hot 100 No. 1s and eight Billboard 200 No. 1s. In 2021, he became the first male solo artist to debut on the top of both charts simultaneously with his hit song “Peaches” and sixth studio album “Justice.”
