Justin Bieber's Recent Run-In With The Police Ends In Laughter

Justin Bieber got the last laugh following a recent run-in with a police officer.
The "Hold Tight" singer had been driving around in his Lamborghini on Wednesday (March 27) when he was stopped by police for reasons initially unclear. That's when Bieber whipped out his phone to document his weird encounter with the cop, who apparently thought the star had been walking around in sneakers with the security tags still on them.
But, as the 25-year-old hilariously explained on his Instagram Stories, it's just what the kids are wearing these days, man.
“Virgil, my god, bro. You freaking — you’re killing me, man! I just had a cop come up to me and ask me why I still had the security tag on my shoe. What the…” Bieber says with a chuckle in the clip, shouting out Virgil Abloh, who designed the $160 Off-White X NikeAir Max 90 sneakers in question, which features a zip-tie looped through the shoelaces.
“I had to tell him, ‘Bro, it’s just fashion,” he added. “I don’t know. He’s like, ‘It sure looks like a security tag.’ “I’m like, ‘Nah, bro, you can check it out.’ It looks like it though… but you’re getting me in trouble!”
You heard the Biebs. Nothing to see here, bro.
This isn't the first time authorities have had to get involved in Bieber's life. A woman was arrested for trespassing earlier this week for barging into the "Sorry" artist hotel room on accident.
