WATCH: Justin Bieber Releases “Beauty And A Beat” Video After Publicity Stunt

12:18 pm, October 12th, 2012

VIDEO

(VEVO)

The joke’s on… everyone?

Supposed threats promising to release incriminating Justin Bieber footage were nothing more than a “publicity stunt” for the singer’s new “Beauty and a Beat” music video with Nicki Minaj.

VIDEO BELOW

As Gossip Cop previously reported, the scheme began earlier this week, when Bieber announced on Twitter that his computer and camera were “stolen” during his Washington concert on Tuesday.

On Wednesday, an anonymous blogger began posting short, innocuous videos of Bieber online and threatening on Twitter to release supposedly more damaging material.

Bier vowed on Thursday not to be bothered by the taunts, writing to the Twitter user, “No matter what you have and what you post tomorrow i know my fans wont leave me. screw it. #toostrong.”

Cut to Friday at noon, when the blogger made good on his promise to deliver another video — except the “video” was actually the Bieber-directed music video for his song “Beauty and a Beat.”

Minaj, who appears on the track and in the video, even hinted to the clip on Twitter Thursday, when she wrote, “uh oh…the barbz have a BIG surprise cmng tmrw.”

Check out the “Beauty and a Beat” video below!

    it was so obvious it was a stunt. the person on that account writes just like alfredo flores and i bet if anyone got a hold on his personal belongings they’d try to sell the juicy things first, not make a twitter announcing it to the world begging for a lawsuit.

  • Kristina

    Lame guy,lame stunt.

  • Lindsey

    Wowwwwwww. If he needs a publicity stunt to promote his music like this, then obviously he needs help. Lame.

  • guest

    Asinine, which is about perfect for his target audience. Oh and the video looks like shit.

  • jenna

    what a douche….he must be feeling his 15 minutes fading

  • Regina1180

    Well I fell for it.

    But Beiber is hotter than Jesus right now, why the lame stunt?

  • missylalawhite

    Seriously? I actually believed his stuff was stolen when he posted about it a few days ago. Now someone should really steal his things and sell them just for this & no one will actually believe it when it really does happen.
    I gave him the benefit of the doubt, but guess he’s like other celebs and wanting attention.

  • pixie1824

    After watching the video, the gimmick seems kind of cute.

  • meandnooneelse.

    @Krisitina, you forgot lame video! Pretty much what you would expect from someone who thinks it’s cute to stick your hand into the cake on the catering table of a TV production shoot….more juvenile pranks.

    IT WASNT STOLEN !!!!!

  • Kathy Rivers

    Hotter that Jesus?? *bows down to pray* Help us Lord!

  • Lindsey

    He’s obviously not if he has to lie to everyone and make a hoax just for attention.

  • guest

    It reeked of a publicity stunt from the beginning. But this lame crap is exactly why the public is cynical about most Hollywood celebrities. This guy needs to go away.

  • Cool

    This video actually made me sit there and watch the whole thing i really like the video i dont care about the stunt though im not exactly a fan of him

  • dchopsey

    Bad stunt. Things like that are done for someone who needs a boost to their career. I never thought Justin would stoop so low to do something like this.I mean he has everything going for him and God gave him so much talent that Justin does not to stupid things like this. Sorry Justin, I am a true fan and defend you when they bash you, but this I cannot condone.

  • jackalexandria

    should of expected this type of BS from a juvenile

  • Kitty

    Lighten up, people. I doubt he did this for “attention.” How much more attention could he get that he doesnt have already? The idea is clever and something new, I love it and I’m not even a belieber.

  • Kathy

    Uh. Let me explain something to you twerps. #1 I find it fun y yall don’t like Justin bieber YET here you are all on a ARTICLE about him taking up YOUR time talking and commenting on him. Interesting. #2 he did this for his FANS. Beliebers. He doesn’t give a damn what you haters (that only like him out of mere immaturity hatefulness and jealousy) have to say. He was getting back beliebers cause of a prank belieber pulled on HIM in te past. #3 he NEVER asked for attention. The media who are all up his ass crack every five seconds with every breathe he takes are the ones who made a huge deal out of it. If any other celeb did this shit yall wouldn’t say shit but because Justin plays with his fans and pranks them its a problem? The video wasnt for you haters. You don’t like him but take to actually watch the video only to hate it before you even watch it? Sorry but you’re an embarrassment to adults. I’m GROWN. married and with two beautiful kids. The hate you give this child is put STUPID. Yet if someone talked about you in this manner you’d be crying crocodile tears claiming they’re cyberbullies. Take some advice and grow up. If I don’t like someone they don’t even have a place in my thoughts. Yet you all contradict yourselves by spending more time talking shit about him if your own personal life than his fans do supporting him. No matter what you say the kid isn’t going anywhere. He’s a good role model to young kids with good intentions morals and values. He doesn’t sing bout ass, drugs or any of that. He livin his dream while your all at home broke trying to pay your mortgage. Get real. If you don’t like him app wasting your time on him. Because otherwise it only shows you’re one thing. Jealous. And that’s that.

  • Matt

    True shit. I hate diddy for example. When I see an article about him do I stop to read it? No I keep moving. If they don’t like him they definitely love to to talk about him. It’s childish.

  • James

    Preach

  • Mr Sir

    What’s next…changing his last name to “Kardashian?”

  • Diana

    He wanted to be in the public spotlight,so he is going to be judged,get over it and shut up.

  • biebersbabe

    Shut the hell up haters. You guys do know it was a prank not a publicity stunt. Justin was just pranking his Beliebers like usual its nothing new. IT WAS JUST A PRANK PEOPLE AND IT WORKED. Now haters get the f off and do something better with you LIFES. And oh awsome video Justin :)

  • http://twitter.com/1darkeclipse darkeclipse

    Nice video Justin ! love the video

  • Tina

    So now youre insulting people that are broke and cant afford to pay their morgage,what a horrible person you are,just because he is rich doesnt mean he is better then us?,.Not everybody loves youre precious boy wonder. And i dont give a sh… that he is living his dream,and i dont care that he has money,You are a horible and miserable person! Not everybody loves Bieber!!!!!!!!

  • Kathy

    Your comment is highly ignorant. Did I say he was better than anyone no. Go back and read what I said cause clearly you didnt comprehend it the first time.

  • Chase

    Actually he didnt. That kid can BREATHE ad te media will cover it. So clearly you’re a child with a child mentality. This was for his FANS. Not for non fans. Don’t like him? Then why are you on here? Get over it and you can shut up. People can say what they want. Hence their constitutional right. Who are you to tell someone else to shut up? NOONE asked for your response.

  • Richard

    It’s lame and he’s “lame” yet your ass feel for it hence why you’re on this article and took time to comment. Pressed?

  • Sara

    Actually his laptop was stolen.they filed a claim under a infamous name. Chek your facts kid http://blogs.seattleweekly.com/dailyweekly/2012/10/biebers_tour_manager_says_comp.php

  • Tyler

    Actually it was a prank for fans. He can put a video out of a foot and people would watch it.

  • Matt

    You were never a fan from the beginning them and you sure as hell don’t j dressed te Concept Of the video. THINK KID

  • Sad

    How does he want attention when he was PRANKING and playing with his own fans? If you believed it youre dumb because all his fans knew it was a prank. Clearly you must be new to the fanbase and not as intelligent as other to know when Justin is joking and when he’s serious.

  • Chris Hale

    It looks like shit eat you take time to watch it? Lol dude if you do t like him don’t watch it. Simple

  • Al

    The juvenile is you. You’re the one always talking shit on post about Justin. If you don’t like him yor stalking techniques show otherwise. If any other artist did this shit it would be called funny and cute yet Justin teases his fans it’s a problem. I don’t get the world. I don’t like his ass at all and even I have a sense of humor. Get one

  • Chris hale

    How stupid can a person be? This is a prefect example. I stuck my hand in a cake before fess I’m juvenile too. You’re just mad you fell for the prank.et a grip

  • Leona

    I dont know who you are Kathy,but you sound like an obnoxious person.

  • Nicola

    The reason people comment ois….BECAUSE THATS WHAT PEOPLE DO HERE,GO TO A BIEBER FANSITE IF YOU WANNA PRAISE HIM!

  • Diana

    No one asked you for a responds,but you gave it anyway.He is famous,he wants to make money so he needs the attention….so shut up! and you think im a child,?you know nothing about me,nitwit!

  • missylalawhite

    I believed this was a lame stunt for attention & I’m the dumb one? That’s funny.

  • jackalexandria

    I think you need to look up the word juvenile, Justin is a juvenile. Ask your folks if they have a dictionary.

  • Richard

    Praise him? Hun I’m not even a fan. If they don’t like him this article shouldn’t even be clicked on nothing you say is an excuse for ignorance

  • Christie

    Yes you are highly dumb tbh

  • Kathy

    Actually he makes money when he shuts e doesn’t have to try. I made my own statement and YOU responded moron. Argument invalid. The only nitwit is you. YOU don’t know ME yet you commented on hat I said as if you do. HYPOCRITE. I don’t have to shut up worth a damn. You do! You commented on what I said dumbass. I have my fucking freedom of speech and there ain’t a damn thing you can do about it. Stop acting like a child and people who assume you are one fool.

  • Kathy

    Exactly you don’t know me so that contradicts your entre statement. Issue one comment moron. My CONSTITUTIONAL RIght. Get over it. The only obvious obnoxious one is a fool coming onto an article only to comment on how someone else acts yet failing to make a point. Congrats on being a jackass

  • gentiana

    I love justin bieber i meried with justin biber did you know? justin biber i love you forever

  • gentiana

    i love him i like iiii love youstrin bieber forever FROM:::KOSOVO

  • Ranae

    If he is in the public eye he is going to get judged. second of all ok people have the right to there own opinion and comment and look at an article how ever they like even if they don’t like the person it doesn’t mean they’re a low life or anything. If you have a problem with people commenting that don’t like the kid just remember ppl can say whatever they want just like you can.

  • Al

    I’m an adult CHILD I don’t need to look up anything evidently you do . The juvenile here HAS YOU written all over it. So clearly you need to run to yor folks CHILD. you don’t even know him much less met him 8 have so your argument is just as invalid as you. And clearly judging by likes I’m right :)
