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

Posted byBy ABS Contributor | Published on: CommentsComments (0)

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.

Still independent.

We hope this story was worth your time. For over 14 years, Atlanta Black Star has stayed Black-owned and independently run. We didn't get here by waiting on ad budgets that were never built to prioritize us. Our readers did that.

Corporate support for Black media has always been thin. Outlets like ours get roughly 1% of the $170 billion spent on U.S. advertising each year, and that margin is shrinking further as advertisers walk back the DEI-linked commitments they made in 2020. That's the backdrop. It's not why we're asking.

The wider picture isn't any steadier. 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, it's rarely the ones built to center a Black perspective from the ground up 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.
