Hailey Bieber is not holding back when it comes to defending her husband Justin Bieber.
The Rhode Beauty founder recently took to social media to express her frustration with Billboard’s ongoing list of the “Greatest Pop Stars of the 21st Century,” where Justin landed in eighth place.
The list, which has been counting down the top 25 artists of the time period, put Justin Bieber behind heavyweights like Kanye West, Britney Spears, Lady Gaga, Drake, and Rihanna. While the placement is nothing to scoff at, Hailey clearly wasn’t impressed with the ranking.
On Thursday (November 21), a screenshot of a fiery comment Hailey left on Billboard’s Instagram account began making rounds online. In the comment, she didn’t mince words: “Billboard is a f-cking joke as per usual,” she wrote, signing off with a kiss emoji for good measure.
Fans have been buzzing about Hailey’s bold statement, with some applauding her for standing by her man while others debated Justin’s ranking. As of now, Billboard has yet to reveal the top two artists on the list, but Hailey’s comment has already stolen some of the spotlight.
Justin’s influence on the music industry is undeniable, from chart-topping hits to sold-out tours. While his eighth-place ranking may seem respectable, Hailey’s public reaction makes it clear she believes the Peaches singer deserves better recognition.
