“Traumatized” Justin Bieber Shares Text Message Ending a Friendship
It's not clocking to Justin Bieber's haters that he's in on the joke.
After a video of him lecturing paparazzi to leave him alone because he's "standing on business" went viral, the "What Do You Mean" singer playfully clapped back at those making fun of him over the clip.
In a photo shared to his Instagram Story June 18, Justin posed for a close-up, black-and-white selfie while wearing a hoodie and sporting a mustache and beard. To accompany the image, the 31-year-old added Myia B Music's song "Stand on Business" to the post, particularly highlighting the lyrics, "When I get you alone, She said I stand on business."
And that wasn't the only way Justin hilariously doubled down on his choice of words. The Grammy winner shared several more selfies to his Instagram Story as well, each with a different song that references the colloquial phrase, including Soulja Rilla's "Standing on Business" and Fredo Bang's "Dat Business."
Five days before his cheeky reaction, a video surfaced of Justin confronting paparazzi who were trying to snap photos of him while he enjoyed an evening trip to a Malibu beach.
"You're not getting it, it's not clocking to you," Justin told the photogs in the footage, published by Page Six June 13. "It's not clocking to you that I'm standing on business."

The SKYLRK founder—who shares son Jack Blues Bieber, 9 months, with wife Hailey Bieber—went on to accuse the paparazzi of "provoking" him.
"I'm a real dad, a real husband, a real man," Justin continued. "So don't f--king do this s--t to me, OK? I'm not to be f--ked with. I don't know who's paying you to provoke me, but I'm not the one."
Following the heated interaction, clips of the video went viral, with many fans poking fun at Justin for his inventive expression.
"Thanks to Justin Bieber," one user wrote on X June 16. "I’ve said 'It’s not clocking to you that I’m standing on business' 10 times today."
Another added, "'It’s not clocking to you that i’m standing on business' is the best thing Bieber has done since Journals."
