Justin Bieber allegedly says the N-word while telling a joke

theGRIO REPORT - A video from London gossip site, Page Six, shows Justin Bieber saying the N word repeatedly on camera after telling a racist joke.

Luther Vandross was outed as gay after his death.

Justin Bieber might have some explaining to do.

An old video has surfaced on an England’s tabloid’s site, The Sun, allegedly showing the Canadian singer saying the N word repeatedly on camera after telling a racist joke.

“Why are black people afraid of chainsaws?” a 15-year-old Bieber appears to ask a group of friends. If you listen closely, a friend off-camera tells Bieber to stop the joke, but Bieber proceeds:

“Run N*gger, N*gger, N*gger!”

TMZ reports they possessed the same video four years ago but decided not to post it. The site also said that sources close to the “Believe” singer are sad and frustrated the clip leaked — and that Bieber will reportedly address it on Monday.
