Justin Bieber makes racist joke in leaked video

Video footage has emerged of Justin Bieber telling a joke that involves racist language.

The video obtained by The Sun newspaper shows a young Bieber, approximately 16 years old at the time, trying to entertain others with a joke (see video below).

The beginning of the video sees the pop star finishing a previous joke with the words “Father’s Day” which someone off-camera brands “mean” and “ignorant”.

Justin goes on to ask: “Why are black people afraid of chainsaws?”

Before delivering the punch line someone out of shot urges: “Don’t even say it. Don’t say it.”

The ‘Baby’ singer then imitates the sound of a chainsaw but is instead saying: “Run n****r, n****r, n****r, n****r, n****r.”

As well as making the video public The Sun newspaper also reports that Justin Bieber’s people knew about the existence of footage and had tried to prevent it from being leaked.

Justin Bieber was recently ranked amongst America’s most disliked people.
