Things haven’t exactly been going swimmingly for Justin Bieber on the South American leg of his current world tour. There’s been graffiti-related unpleasantness, allegations of a brothel visit and a metric ton of concert drama. Heck, just click the “Justin Bieber”; tag at the bottom of this post and you’ll see a flurry of stories pop up about the singer’s alleged bad boy antics while on his South American trek.
It’s been one controversy-heavy excursion for The Biebs, but the singer has elected to speak out on Twitter about one of the bits of nastiness that’s happened during the tour: The incident where Bieber removed from stage a pair of Argentinian flags in a less than elegant fashion. (Read: Using his shoes and microphone stand to sweep the flags offstage.)
It’s an incident the “Boyfriend”; singer took to social media to apologize for. Bieber asked for forgiveness and also claimed the whole incident was simply an unfortunate misunderstanding.
