When I went on vacation earlier this month, there were mixed feelings involving Justin Bieber’s nude paparazzi pictures. There was the feeling of sadness over not being around for a big story, but hey, at least I didn’t have to see the pictures. And I still haven’t looked at them. Nooo thank you. Just like with the iCloud hack, Bieber never asked for his private parts to be splashed all over newspapers and the internet. He had no idea he was being photographed, so yeah, there’s sympathy for the guy on this end. No one deserves that invasion of privacy, and there were clearly some long-range lenses at work.

In the aftermath, Bieber briefly joked about “shrinkage“ but then sobered up, saying, “My first thing was like, how can they do this? Like, I feel like I can’t step outside and feel like I can go outside naked. You should feel comfortable in your own space.” He wasn’t wrong at all. Bieber made some sense! Then something else happened. Swaggy’s dad, Jeremy Bieber, took to Twitter (in a now-deleted tweet) to say he was proud. He wrote “what do you feed that thing #proud daddy [embarrassed emoji],” and it was perfectly disgusting, but Justin thought it was hilarious:

What do you mean… he didn’t mind?! A carefree Justin Bieber revealed in a new interview on Sunday, Oct. 18, that he thought his dad Jeremy Bieber’s reaction to his nude Bora Bora photos — “#proud daddy” — was “hilarious.”

Bieber, 21, spoke to the Zach Sang & The Gang radio show about the recent Internet-breaking, nude vacation photos, which featured the “What Do You Mean?” singer completely in the buff while vacationing with model Jayde Pierce. Alongside millions of other Beliebers, the singer’s dad took to his Twitter to chime in on the viral conversation.

“@justinbieber what do you feed that thing. #proud daddy,” Jeremy first wrote in a now-deleted post. He followed up with a separate pic of a puppy and wrote, “He’s a beaut.”

“I thought it was hilarious. ‘What do you feed that thing,'” Bieber quipped in his latest interview of his dad’s brow-raising tweets. “It’s such a dad thing to say. When I found out people were hating on him for saying that, I was like, ‘Are you kidding me?’ What dad wouldn’t be proud of that? It’s not like he’s saying it to an 11-year-old. I’m 21 years old.”

Bieber also joked that his many fans even bestowed a name upon his, um, junk. “They call it Jerry,” he boasted on Sunday.

Is this really “such a dad thing to say“? Maybe so, but not in public. Actually, I think this isn’t so normal but am open to other opinions. Jeremy Bieber has generally displayed himself with very little class. In early 2014, father and son verbally abused and harassed a flight attendant because they felt they were beyond reproach. When Justin was younger, Jeremy abandoned Patti Mallette, who raised Justin all by herself until Scooter Braun came along and made Swaggy a star. Then Jeremy swooped back into their lives because — guess what — he smelled the money. Now he’s so proud of his rich son’s manhood, and Jeremy just needs to shut his mouth. Maybe he got a clue since he deleted the tweet, but probably not. Daddy Bieber is gross.
