It certainly has been a rough couple of years for the pop star. Bieber was arrested in Miami in January 2014 on suspicion of driving under the influence, an expired license, and resisting arrest.

Police later said the pop singer had admitted to authorities he had consumed alcohol, smoked marijuana, and had taken prescription drugs. A toxicology report later revealed that cannabis and Xanax were in his system at the time of his arrest.

He has also recently been serving out a sentence of community service related to an egging incident in July of 2014.

Following the star's DUI incident 270,000 people petitioned the White House to have him deported from the United States. The Obama administration has declined to comment substantially on the petition.

Since that time he has claimed to have reformed himself through his faith and friendships with fellow celebrities like the Kardashian family.

Most recently, Bieber has caught headlines for scolding his fans in the audience as they failed to clap on time during his performance on Spanish TV show El Hormiguero.

A bit of fun: The star was made to read tweets from fans during a video portion of his interview

This latest tirade comes after a week of foul play on his part, acting out during a handful of appearances while promoting his new album Purpose.

The singer was preparing to start his performance on a Norwegian show last week when a fan on the front row spilled something on stage.

Justin tried to mop up the liquid, but the crowd blocked him from doing so and failed to listen to his pleas for them to stand back - so he walked off stage and declared he wouldn't do the show.

He also walked off a Spanish radio show, he later blamed his response on having a 'rough week' of long days and being tired and promised to 'work on' getting better at reacting calmly to things.
