Justin Bieber Shares Why He Won’t Leave Los Angeles After Paparazzi Incident

Justin Bieber isn’t saying sorry for his decision to stay in Los Angeles.

One day after an incident in the city in which paparazzi swarmed him and his security detail as they exited an establishment, the 31-year-old explained he has no plans to relocate elsewhere with wife Hailey Bieber and their 8-month-old son Jack Blues Bieber. 

“Everyone telling me to move from La,” Justin wrote on his Instagram Story April 24. “U think I’m gonna get bullied to leave where my influence is most needed? How can we make a change if we run away from the darkness? I too have been caught up in the transactional nature of Hollywood.”

The “Peaches” singer—who is originally from Canada—made it clear that he is staying put. 

“It’s embarrassing but with that said, I want nothing to do with that as a grown adult with a wife and son,” he added. “I just want to be submerged in the culture learning from any and everyone. And be proponent and advocate for LOVE AND EQUALITY.”
