5 Seconds of Summer star Michael Clifford has dismissed quotes attributed to him in a new interview.

The pop-punks recently sat down for a cover interview with Rolling Stone - but some of the quotes have caused controversy.

Among those are words allegedly said by guitarist Clifford about Justin Bieber.

He is quoted as saying: "I think he hates us. It was f***ing crazy, people standing on tables and s***.

“I probably shouldn’t say this, but he had his own album on loop for, like, two or three hours."

This lead the Canadian himself to reportedly reply to Clifford on Twitter before deleting his messages.

He is supposed to have said: "Sorry guy. Don’t hate you. Don’t even know u. And are u sure u came to our party because my album wasn’t on loop? Strange.

"Wish u the best. Don’t use my name for headlines . U are already on the cover. U don’t need it. Just be honest. Big hugs bud."

Clifford then replied: "Done nothing but praise ur album; no idea why that's even in the article. big fan since the start man, take care."
