Justin Bieber’s statement trends after new paparazzi video surfaces
Justin Bieber’s “It’s not clocking to you,” is trending after a new video of him confronting paparazzi outside Malibu’s Soho House has gone viral. This has prompted widespread discussion on social media. The clip, posted recently, shows Bieber visibly frustrated as he attempts to set boundaries with photographers following him.
In the video circulating online, Bieber says, “You’re not getting it. It’s not clocking to you. It’s not clocking to you that I’m standing on business, is it?” The phrase quickly gained traction on platforms like Reddit, X, and TikTok, with users quoting and remixing it.
In a longer version of the confrontation shared by an X User, Bieber tells paparazzi, “We’re gonna set boundaries here today. I’m not afraid to set boundaries.” He adds, “I’m a real dad, a real husband, a real man,” while two bodyguards stand beside him. At one point, he repeats, “You don’t get to talk to me today… You’re not my buddies.”
Bieber becomes increasingly upset after some photographers laugh at his remarks. He shines a flashlight into their faces and says, “And now you’re laughing… Stop provoking me.” Toward the end of the clip, Bieber says, “Clearly you are here for an alternative agenda… This isn’t love, this is weird bro.”
The incident follows several previous clashes between Bieber and the paparazzi. In February 2025, he told photographers, “Don’t thank me. I’m not asking you to be here.” In another instance, he said, “That’s all you care about, guys, is money. You don’t care about people.”
