Tyler The Creator Says He Was Driving Justin Bieber’s Ferrari

As it turns out, Keyshawn Johnson
 was chasing the wrong guy. After the former NFL star got heated last week and accused Justin Bieber of tearing around their Calabasas, California, gated community in his white Ferrari, Odd Future leader Tyler, the Creator, stepped up over the weekend to clear the air.

“That was me behind the wheel of Justin’s vehicle,” wrote Tyler, confirming multiple reports that he was driving JB’s souped-up sports car. Johnson chased the vehicle after spotting it ripping through the community, eventually chasing the car down to Bieber’s house and trying to confront the singer about his need for speed.

 

 

“Don’t blame him,” Tyler added. “People are actually evil swearing up and down that it was who it wasn’t.”

Bieber appreciated the effort to take the fall, writing back, “All good buddy. I deal with this everyday. Thanks though. The baby ain’t mine either,” he added in reference to a new paternity claim by a woman who reportedly said she had a one-night stand with the singer in Miami after meeting him at a TGI Friday’s restaurant.

Bieber’s camp has denied the woman’s story, just as it vigorously defended a previous, since-dropped paternity claim
 from 2011 by a woman who said she had a one-time fling with the singer backstage at one of his shows.

 

The Johnson incident was just the latest in a string of car troubles
 Bieber has endured over the past three years, several of which have involved friends such as Lil Twist and Lil Za getting pulled over in the pop star’s custom vehicles for various moving violations.

The admission from Tyler came after Johnson and several other witnesses specifically reported seeing Bieber racing around in the car.

Democracy needs journalism it can trust.

This election season, the stakes are higher than usual — and so is the pressure on newsrooms to soften their coverage, stay quiet, or just disappear. Independent reporting, the kind that answers to readers instead of advertisers or political pressure, matters more in a moment like this, not less.

For over 14 years, Atlanta Black Star has stayed independent and reader-funded. We have no corporate owner and no shareholders telling us what to cover or how to cover it. That independence is also our biggest vulnerability: nothing protects it except readers choosing to fund it directly.

Newspaper ad revenue has fallen more than 80% since 2005, and local newsrooms are closing at a rate of roughly two a week nationwide. When outlets go under in a moment like this, it's rarely the independent, reader-funded ones that get to stick around.

We know a request for support isn't why you came here. But without readers choosing to fund this work directly, the depth of reporting we can do at home and abroad shrinks along with everyone else's. If you're not in a position to give, that doesn't change how much we value you as a reader.

If you are able to, a recurring contribution does more for us than a single one-time gift, because it lets us plan the next investigation instead of just the next invoice. It takes about 30 seconds, no long form, no account. Thank you for continuing to support independent journalism and freedom of the press.
