I’ve been arrogant and conceited and now I’m sorry laments Justin Bieber

Pop star Justin Bieber has apologised for his recent bad behaviour, and says he is leaving behind his “arrogant” and “conceited” attitude. The singer made the comments in a two-minute video posted on his Facebook page. In it, the 20-year-old said he was “afraid of what people are thinking about me right now”. The Boyfriend singer’s image has been damaged by incidents involving careless driving, throwing eggs at a neighbour’s house, and an alleged assault following an incident involving a photographer.

I didn’t want to come off arrogant or conceited or basically how I’ve been acting in the past year, year and a half.

Bieber said a nervous appearance on the Ellen DeGeneres show on Wednesday prompted him to post the message, in which he called his behaviour a “cover up” of his emotional state. ”There was a lot of feelings going on in there, just being young and growing up in this business is hard, growing up in general is hard,” he said. Bieber is currently serving two years’ probation in Los Angeles after pleading no contest to a misdemeanour vandalism charge for the egg throwing incident in 2014.
