Justin Bieber compares his life to Jay-Z's

International superstar Justin Bieber has compared himself to Jay-Z, insisting he doesn't feel the need to "address every speculation" surrounding him.

The 19-year-old star has endured a difficult 2013 so far, with a string of negative headlines sourced from a recent trip to the UK exacerbating the Canadian's reputation.

Bieber addressed the reports surrounding him in a recent interview with Teen Vogue.

He explained: "I don't need to address every speculation. Remember when Cam'ron dissed Jay-Z? Jay-Z didn’t even respond. Why didn't he respond, because he’s Jay-Z."

Bieber's comparison was in reference to the feud between the famed hip hop stars.

The star also maintained in the interview that reports of a "breakdown" are very much unfounded.

He added: "I know who I am, and I'm very much in control."

will.i.am also recently spoke out on the troubles surrounding Bieber, explaining: "Justin's going to be OK. It's dangerous to be a child star, but it's dangerous to be a child in the ghetto, or to be a child at school being bullied." Watch Bieber on tour here:
