King of pop; Justin Bieber isn’t ready to be replaced by Shawn Mendes

Justin Bieber has been in the entertainment game fr a while and he seems not ready for anyone to take overfrom him, and ifany one does, the opposition will speak for itself.

It seems as though Justin Bieber isn’t ready to be dethroned of his ‘prince of pop’ status if his latest comment is anything to go by.

The newly married singer aimed a jibe at his fellow Canadian Shawn Mendes after the Treat You Better hitmaker posted a magazine cover with the accolade.

Named ‘prince of pop’ by the Guardian’s Observer magazine, Justin was immediately irked and mocked Shawn in a comment on the Instagram post.

Justin, 25, challenged Shawn to a hockey match to fight for the title and joked that he would “have to break a few more records” before he had a shot at being named pop royalty.

The No Brainer singer called out Shawn in his comments which quickly became a talking point with their fans.

“Hmm… Gonna have to break a few more records to dethrone my title there bud (Canadian voice)..but if you want we can play hockey for it but I heard your a real bender on the ice we could just drop the buckets and tilt for it[sic].”

The comment received nearly 18,000 likes alone and it’s not clear if Shawn has responded, yet plenty of his fans began arguing with Bieber’s stans over whether he deserved the honour.

“Hm lol jealousy is not good and yes he is better than up so shut up people like him okay?” wrote one person.

“Shawn replaced you as the hottest young guy ever,” added another.

Other Justin fans defended his comment insisting he was just having fun: “Why can’t people take jokes and sarcasm?”

“Justin literally just wrote a few words, it was not meant to be offensive, just a joke. Calm your fans peeps,” said another.

The Canadian heart throbs have already had beef after fans believed the lyrics in No Brainer were aimed at Shawn.

People were convinced that Biebs was throwing shade at Shawn because of his close relationship with Selena Gomez .

And dating rumours also surrounded Shawn and Hailey Baldwin before she confirmed her relationship with Justin.

Shawn previously explained that he had even texted Hailey to wish her congratulations following her engagement news with Justin.

He said: “I texted Hailey the day of, and I said congrats. That’s what it is. I think everybody wants there to be more — there’s not.”
