Will Smith suggests there is a "war" against young artists like Bieber

Will Smith believes the media has an unfair agenda against young acts like Justin Bieber.

The Canadian singer has endured a plethora of negative headlines over the past month as his reputation is thrust into the spotlight.

Speaking to Extra, Smith suggested that the media often wants to portray young artists in a negative light, saying:

"We think it hugely important to support artists, young artists specifically. There's really a war against that kind of artistry, that kind of creation, and against youth."

Smith added that the 19-year-old 'Believe' star is always welcome to come to him for advice and help, revealing:

"For me the most important thing was for him to know anytime he can just call and I'll come, whatever happens. At that age that's what you need to know. You can do what ya gonna do, but you have someplace you can go, you can find safety."
