Looks like the pair wanted to play games with the media. FAKE NEWS!
Marilyn Manson has seemingly squashed his beef with Justin Bieber, which saw the two falling out over the Canadian singer's line of merch featuring MM's face.
In a profile excerpt from a Consequence Of Sound piece, Manson stated the following:
“He was [already] wearing the shirt that had his name on my shirt, and he said to me, ‘I made you relevant again.’ Bad mistake to say to me.
“The next day I told him I’d be at his soundcheck at Staples Center to do Beautiful People,” Manson recounts, at which point Bieber confessed that the t-shirt “was his idea”. Manson never intended to perform with Bieber, but “he believed that I’d show up, because he was that stupid.”
Manson says he eventually “took all the proceeds from those shirts from him. They didn’t even fight, they were just like, ‘Yeah, we already know, we did wrong, so here’s the money.’
“He was a real piece of shit in the way he had the arrogance to say that,” Manson says of Bieber. “He was a real touchy-feely guy, too, like, ‘Yo yo bro!’ and touches you when he’s talking. I’m like, 'You need to stand down, you’re dick height on me, okay (laughs). Alright? So stand down, son.'”
Below is Biebs pictured with the range:
Apparently, Bieber was also down in the dumps about Manson not liking him and thinking he was a bit of a dick. Appearing on the Howard Stern show, the God Of Fuck allowed the presenter to read out texts he received from the pop sensation.
Read the text below:
“Bro, it’s Bieber what’s up with that article? I thought we had a pretty pleasant interaction. Also, if anything wasn’t squared away with the T-shirts I’m so sorry. Anyway, regardless, it kind of stung seeing that if I came off as an asshole or was just an asshole, I’m sorry????”
Bro? Manson certainly wouldn't like to be referred to as your 'bro', this isn't the high school football team. But, Manson replied and it turns out he just wanted to have some fun with press who were making it into a bigger deal than it really was.
Check out the text exchange below:
MANSON: That [quote] was exaggerated. You were just you being you. No beef here.
BIEBER: Honestly, I totally thought we hit it off. Again, my bad, if I was an asshole that wasn’t my intention. Just want you to know that.
MANSON: We are cool. People just made that shirt stuff into a fake feud. Let’s turn it upside-down and fuck the press and do something together. It will be the best. And don’t apologize, you weren’t an asshole. They asked if you were and I sort of agreed. I wasn’t out to get you.
There we go. Looks like there won't be a fistfight anytime soon, and the pair are seemingly on good terms. There was no real beef, it was all FAKE NEWS. Sad.
While you're here, whack some Manson in your ears. Listen to The Pale Emperor below:
