PopUps: Bieber Said Dad's Awkward Tweet About Penis Was 'Hilarious'
The Internet got pretty uncomfortable this month after Justin Bieber's father referenced the pop star's penis pics in a tweet, saying he was a "#proud daddy." Though Bieber has opened up about the naked pics taken of him while on vacation in Bora Bora, saying he felt "super violated," the "Where Are U Now" singer has not commented on his father's tweet - until today.
As Just Jared points out, Bieber, 21, stopped by "Zach Sang & The Gang" radio show Monday and responded to his father's tweet, which read in full "@justinbieber what do you feed that thing. #proud daddy :)"
"I thought it was hilarious," he said. "'What do you feed that thing,' he said. It's such a dad thing to say. When I found out people were hating on him for saying that, I was like, 'Are you kidding me?' What dad wouldn't be proud of that? It's not like he's saying it to an 11-year-old. I'm 21 years old."
Bieber also talked about his naked pictures hitting the web.
"At the end of the day, the photos, they're not terrible! But, honestly at first and before the reaction was what it was and still with the reaction," he said. "I still felt like I wanted to keep that part for me. You know? I was never- but I felt like it was a little bit of an invasion of privacy. And when I first found out about it, I was like... my heart sank."
The singer shared similar feelings when speaking with Access Hollywood's Billy Bush, saying he felt "super violated."
"My first thing was like, how can they do this? Like, I feel super violated. Like, I feel like I can't step outside and feel like I can go outside naked," he said. "You should feel comfortable in your own space - especially that far away."
Nevertheless, he still had a sense of humor about the pictures, saying, "That was shrinkage for me."
Bieber also told "Zach Sang & The Gang" fans have given his penis a nick name.
"They call it Jerry," he said.
