Beyonce Drops Bun B 'I Been On' Remix With Houston's Hottest

King Bey is dressed in attire befitting European royalty for her Mrs. Carter World Tour promos. But don't get it twisted — true Houston, Texas, royalty co-signed the fact that Beyoncé is down for H-Town. Underground rap icon Bun B himself debuted the remix to her track "Bow Down/I Been On" Friday (March 29) at Houston's KBXX's 97.9 The Box radio station, then posted the song on his SoundCloud page.

The "I Been On" remix features a roll call of Houston notables, with Z-Ro, Scarface, Willie D, Slim Thug and Lil' Keke joining Bun B. He dedicated the remix to the other half of rap group UGK, Pimp C, who died in December 2007, as well as the late DJ Screw.
Credit Screw for the Southern-specific sound that perhaps shocked listeners the most when the song first dropped. Beyoncé's original ending verse stays in place. With her swag in full attack, Bey finishes out the chopped and screwed track. "Shout out to Pimp C/You know we used to sneak and listen to that UGK," she raps, after mentioning that she was in a Willie D music video at 14 years old. The message: Don't question her street cred.
But not everyone is bowing down. Some say Rihanna took a shot at Beyoncé on Friday with an Instagram post, writing, "I only know how to be number 1!! I could use a challenge... How dat feel down there on ya knees, Huh?!"

Paid Dues Festival Boasts Turned-Up Sets From Macklemore, Kendrick Lamar


Hip-hop heads from far and wide gathered for Paid Dues Independent Hip Hop Festival in San Bernardino, California on Saturday. It was the first time the fest was held at San Manuel Amphitheater, as opposed to the much smaller National Orange Show. And both the fans and headliners took advantage of it.
The lineup put legendary lyricists like Immortal Technique and De La Soul next to current chart-toppers like Kendrick Lamar. Only at a festival like this can you find such diversity on all fronts; from the audience to the performers. While one act proudly shouted out "mollys and marijuana" to the crowd, Macklemore performed his anti-drug anthem, "Other Side" to a throng of thousands just two stages over.
The 29-year-old Seattle-based rapper and his producer/DJ, Ryan Lewis, started off their set with their runaway radio hit, "Thrift Shop."
"We didn't sign sh--!" he says of the success he's enjoying without a major label. "That song went to #1 on the strength of the people; that is independent hip-hop just like this festival that Murs started independently."
He delivered another doozy with "Can't Hold Us" with Ray Dalton and served up his shoe-inspired single, "Wings," another seemingly simple song meant to cloak a more serious message. After performing "Other Side" (Macklemore admittedly spent most of his twenties fighting drug addiction), he gave a powerful performance of "Same Love" featuring Mary Lambert, which was appropriate given the landmark gay-marriage cases facing the Supreme Court
 this week.
"We're in the biggest civil rights movement of our generation... No human being, no government, no religion can tell you who and who not to love," he said.
Meanwhile, the only lady on the lineup, Jean Grae, was feeling romantic for her afternoon set. She played a few of her most memorable tracks and sprinkled in her favorite hip-hop love songs in between. Talib Kweli gave a crowd-pleasing performance of hits like "Get By" and "Get Em High" before making a guest appearance during Macklemore's turn...

Chris Brown An 'Open Book' On New Album X, Not On Twitter


Chris Brown is returning to his R&B roots, with a taste of hip-hop, on his upcoming sixth studio album, X, and as we've come to expect from his controversial public persona, he's not holding anything back.
Last week, MTV News had a chance to sit down with Brown in a Southern California studio during a listening session for the album. As we took in the new material, Breezy explained why he's through trying to explain himself via social media and is ready to let his music do all the talking.
"I think it's smarter as an entertainer and as a leader," he said, trying to leave behind last year's Twitter tussle with a female comedian and February's lengthy Instagram rant. "I have to think logically. When I'm too attainable, it makes me too down. Now I express it through my music and through my paintings as well. What I want to talk about comes out, and the beat fills in the rest. All of it coexists with my reality now. I'm an open book. I think the way my life is, people want to know all the time, so I have to let them know through my music."
As for his army of critics, he's tuning them out: "I'm saying, 'You can start a fight, but why? I came to party. Why trip off the bullsh-- when I'm on the good sh--?' "
Brown's demeanor was pleasant — upbeat, even — as he danced in his seat and sang along to his new songs. He was proud to share the new material, and for good reason. The tracks place his sweet-sounding voice up against huge beats, taking us from old-school, soul-inspired sounds to the heart-pounding, uncontainable recklessness of trap-step.
The first single, "Fine China," was penned with Philly-based producer Diplo, who also helped perfect Brown's 2011 hit "Look at Me Now." In the instantly infectious heartbreak song, the hard-hitting bass line carries Brown's aching voice through a mesmerizing melody. Noticeably absent are the over-produced, Auto-Tune-aided hooks that permeated his previous releases. Instead, we're reminded of the cute kid with the heart-melting voice who burst onto the scene in 2004...

Is Chris Brown Telling Drake To 'Come Out The Closet' On 'R.I.P.' Remix?


If you thought Chris Brown and Drake were getting any closer to deading their feud, think again. Breezy took the opportunity to throw a shot to his musical nemesis when he appeared on the remix of Young Jeezy's "R.I.P." single, which dropped Friday (March 29) on DramaLikeTheDJ.com.
"Dearly departed, I bought a plane I departed/ And if you started from the bottom, go on and come out the closet," Chris rhymes on the song's final verse, making a clear reference to Drake and his "Started from the Bottom" single.
The two made major headlines last June after a now-infamous bottle-throwing brawl in a New York City nightclub, which reportedly involved both men and members of their respective entourages. While the feud has quietly carried on, there has been a subliminal war of words brewing.
After the club incident, Brown addressed the beef in an unofficial remix of Chief Keef's "I Don't Like" single. "They throwing bottles, I'm throwing models," he rapped before delivering "OVO you overdose/ Screaming YOLO, no I live twice."
Many believe Drake took a swipe with his verse from Aaliyah's posthumous single "Enough Said" last August. "Running through the city with n---as I'd give a kidney/ Selling under 150, you n---as gotta be kidding," Drizzy rapped, leading many to believe he was insulting Brown, who sold 135,000 copies of his Fortune album when it was released in July 2012....

New Video: Jared Evan Featuring Action Bronson, 'Pro Create' (NSFW)


Watch Jared Evan's "Pro Create" video.
Jared Evan knows how to twerk the ladies in his "Pro Create" video.
You probably still have Jared Evan's Boom Bap & Blues disc spinning on repeat (we didn't become "obsessed" with it for nothing), and if so, you might remember a certain standout track called "Pro Create." Well, get ready to cue "Jared Even Obsession Part Deux," because "Pro Create" has just been assigned a brand-new video featuring "Buzz On" alum Action Bronson.
Watch Jared Evan's "Pro Create" video featuring Action Bronson after the jump.
Directed by Jared's frequent collaborator Rik Cordero, "Pro Create" features a very "on-the-toilet" Action Bronson spitting rhymes into an old-school cell phone. (And by "old school" we mean larger than a retro walkie-talkie.) Next up, Jared sings the sultry hook while lounging on the couch with a hot chick (let's just call that a "happy coincidence"). After their musical couch session, Jared and his lady love take things to the next level with a clothes-on flirting session (baby steps!) in bed that somehow lands them in the shower (everybody stay calm -- she's in a towel). Then again, what kind of "Pro Creation" video would this be if we didn't see a little skin?

3 GOOD REASONS FOR JUSTIN BIEBER TO SPIT


Photo: (Getty, MTV Act)
Why do guys spit on sidewalks? Like, does my boyfriend's throat just produce significantly more spit than mine?! Justin Bieber is the talk of the tabloids once again for allegedly spitting at one of his neighbors. Whether or not JB went full cobra, I hope he knows there are much better things to do with his saliva. For starters, he could make out with me. He could also save his life and other people's too!

+ Rapid HIV Testing

One out of five HIV positive Americans are unaware of their infection! A fear of needles has always been an excuse not to get tested, and now that rapid testing exists, you can bypass sharp objects! Thanks to science, doctors can now swab your mouth with a Q-tip and give you results in 20 minutes or less. Although these sorts of things are best done by a professional, you can also test yourself with a home kit. Some couples even swab each other before they get frisky for the first time! How romantic!

New Video: Tyler, The Creator, 'IFHY' (NSFW)


Tyler is a doll (literally) in a dreamhouse in his latest video for "IFHY."
Tyler, The Creator plays with dolls in his "IFHY" video.
We can't even begin to imagine the things Tyler, The Creator has come up with as the director of Odd Future's music videos. With his twisted humor, raw emotional vision, and musical talent shown in clips like "Sam Is Dead" and "Domo 23," it's clear he's got some major cinematic ambition going on. In his new video for "IFHY," the latest from his upcoming album, Wolf, Tyler plays a doll (with full-on plastic makeup) in a toy playhouse with a lady figurine he can't seem to shake. Basically this is like if Barbie's Dreamhouse was a Nightmarehouse or if the toys in "Toy Story" belonged to Sid instead of Andy. SOMEBODY POISONED THE WATER HOLE.

The WMC On: SZA


Meet Buzzworthy's obsession: SZA
You're about to fall in hardcore love with SZA. Seriously, trust us. 
To put it bluntly, we're having a full-on fangirl attack over St. Louis-born R&B songstress SZA (Solana Rowe). And when we say "R&B" we're not even truly doing SZA's ethereal, feminine, lush, atmospheric, and uniquely melodic flavor justice. Think a neo-soul Ellie Goulding meets the female Frank Ocean plus, like, a dash Solange and a tad of Björk.
Listen to SZA ....

Paramore has a free book, "Writing The Future," to download!
Download Paramore's new book, "Writing The Future." It's FREE!
Maybe it's time we instituted an Oprah-like book club around here, but instead of all the books being tear-jerking/life-changing/heart-smashing novels, they can be stories about/written by our favorite rock stars! First up in our totally unofficial book club is Paramore's new e-book, "Writing The Future." Oh, and in case you're the type of person to say something like, "I have more more important things to spend my hard-earned money on" (who are these people, BTW?!), all y'all can rest easy, because Paramore's book IS FREE! But no, there are no Cliffs Notes.
That's right: The "Now" singers aren't just dropping new tunes, videos, and a new album(due April 9!) -- the band recently broke the news on Instagram that "Writing The Future" is officially available for download on iTunes....

Star Spotting: Justin Bieber's Bedhead Looks Exactly How You Think It Would (PHOTO)


Justin Bieber's bedhead in this photo is perfection. RESPECT IT.
This is how handsome Justin Bieber looks when he wakes up. Is anyone really that surprised?
You know how when you watch TV, actors always wake up looking like they're in full makeup and had some professional stylist fluffing their hair while they were asleep? We used to say, "That ish ain't real! NOBODY looks that good when they wake up!" But then we saw Justin Bieber's commercial-ready flawless bedhead, and now we will NEVER ever doubt anything that happens on TV again. Justin's hair is pure art, y'all! (And the moral of the story: Everything that happens on the boob tube is real, guys. #mindsblown)
The "Right Here" singer shared his wake-up moment on Instagram along with the caption, "Morning Hair." Honestly, we never thought that Justin wouldn't wake up looking photo-shoot prepped. To be honest, we were actually more surprised that he wears a shirt to bedbut not at the airport?! So here's the next big question that's on everyone's mind: If Justin looks this good waking up, does that mean that he doesn't get morning breath either? The answer, obviously, is yes. And while we have absolutely NO proof, we'd prefer to believe that Justin's morning breath is minty fresh and totally kissable the instant he opens his eyes, because NOBODY wants to imagine a heartthrob with stank breath -- that's justnaaasty!

PLEASE Let Justin Bieber's Monkey Be A Real Thing! (PHOTO)


Justin Bieber has a monkey!
Please oh please tell us that Justin Bieber has in fact adopted a monkey.
Could it BE? We already knew that Justin Bieber had a thing for animals judging by his owl tattoo and pet hamster (R.I.P.), but this photo of him cradling a baby monkey in a blanket is JUST TOO MUCH. Now we're totally dealing with an onslaught of "AW" and "PLEASE GOD LET JUSTIN BIEBER'S MONKEY BE A THING" thoughts and feelings. We also can't figure out who's luckier here: Justin holding the monkey or the monkey being held by Justin. It's truly a toss up....

Preview Nicki Minaj and Lil Wayne's "High School" video before it airs!
We knew something was up the moment we saw Nicki Minaj's considerable, uh, assets on display on the set of her and Lil Wayne's upcoming "High School" video. Suddenly, we had more questions than answers: Why was Nicki twerking it so nakedly in a bandage-y bikini? Why was she in a hot tub? What did Lil Wayne have to do with any of this? WHERE COULD ALL THIS POSSIBLY GO? Sure, we distracted ourselves for a while with watching Nicki and her pasties in French Montana's "Freaks" video and caught a behind-the-scenes look at the making of "High School," but now we're finally getting the answers we deserve with the exclusive preview of Nicki and Weezy's forthcoming clip. In a sentence: There's no limit to the number of rack-exposing outfits Nicki owns, and we need somebody to make a GIF of Lil Wayne's reaction when he sees Nicki in one.

Star Spotting: Please Welcome The Return Of John Mayer's Cowboy Hat! (PHOTO)


John Mayer has whipped out his cowboy hat once again in this photo, which pretty much means he's single.
Sup, John Mayer's cowboy hat? We've missed you!
Sometimes we like our men kinda scruffy, so we had exactly ZERO qualms with John Mayer's "Imma pretend to be a cowboy and rock long hair and my cowboy hat 24/7" phase. And guess what? We're not even a little mad that John whipped out his cowboy hat out yet again last night while heading to dinner at famed L.A. eatery Craigs.
You see, John's cowboy hat situation comes in phases. After some extensive research, we deduced that it was pretty much a "perma-hat" situation for John in most of 2012, with the accessory popping up in his "Shadow Days" cover art, and HERE, and HERE. But then along came John's relationship with Katy Perry, and John's long hair and hat magically disappeared!! Need proof? Over the course of many months, a hat-less John was spotted escorting a uni-colored sweatsuit wearing Katy Perry out of his apartment, backstage with Katy Perry at "A Christmas Story: The Musical," whispering into Katy's ear at the Grammys, and most importantly, having a romantic, no-hat-anywhere dinner on Valentine's Day. Now, word on the street is that Katy and John have called it quits, and whaddya know?? That cowboy hat comes RIGHT back out. (Are we detecting a pattern here??) Moral of the story? If the reemergence of John's cowboy attire doesn't mean he's a single bro, then we don't know what does!

It has the expertly tailored, chart-topping readiness that we felt "She Bad Bad" was missing, and it serves as the perfect precursor to Eve's "comeback" disc, Lip Lock, slated to drop May 14. Now Eve's Gabe Saporta-assisted track has an official (and equally empowering) video, featuring two high school-aged students standing tall in the face of douchebags opposition.

In his latest clip for "Pretty Girls," he's rhyming in an ENORMOUS mansion and wearing a super dapper suit, while his model girlfriend CANNOT decide which designer dress to wear (been there, girl... except for the designer part). With his rapid-fire switching from rapping to singing that reminds of Drake and vocals that recall John Legend, we can see why all the "Pretty Girls" would flock to DeLon.

Happy Birthday, Lady Gaga!! We can't quite believe it, but you've been an ENORMOUS part of our lives for the better part of a decade. And yes, we know you're, like, the biggest star in the ENTIRE galaxy (also, remember when you were in "Men In Black 3"? Heh), but we've been repping for you since the very beginning. We knew you WHEN. So, what better way to celebrate your 27th birthday than with 27 vintage photos of you? (We also considered 27 meat dresses, but it's technically still Lent.)
Check out vintage Lady Gaga photos after the jump, and see them all in our VINTAGE LADY GAGA PHOTO GALLERY.

Gaga and Paris -- 2008 seems so far away.
After combing through the Gaga archives (the Garchives?), we found 27 photos of Lady Gaga before the fame (well not The Fame, but you know what we mean). And even though our years with Gaga have brought many meat dresses and flower helmets, we figure she's still the same girl-next-door-from-outer-space that we fell in love with back in, what was it, 2007? OH GOD, WHERE DID THE TIME GO? Anyway, the only difference between then and now is that when Gaga's hurt, she lugs herself around in a 24-karat gold wheelchair. Instead of lending an ear to one friend, she tries to help millions. And finally, instead of eating birthday cake, she rolls around in it. And personally, we'd take all those as upgrades. Happy Birthday, Gagaloo!!...

New Song: Little Mix Featuring Missy Elliott, 'How Ya Doin?'


Listen to Little Mix's collab with Missy Elliott on "How Ya Doin?"
Little Mix team up with Missy Elliott on their brand-new single, "How Ya Doin?"
You and I both know that when a pop/hip-hop legend like Missy Elliott comes out of hiding drops an assist on your new single, IT'S A BIG EFFING DEAL. That in mind, "X Factor U.K." girl group Little Mix is probably riding higher than high right now since Missy just lent a verse to the girls' fourth single off their debut album DNA, "How Ya Doin?"
Listen to Little Mix's "How Ya Doin?" featuring Missy Elliott after the jump.
Featuring a hefty sample from De La Soul's "Ring Ring Ring (Ha Ha Hey)," the Fifth Harmony lovers' new jam has some major '90s vibes (it's like En Vogue is BACK in the house!!). As each Little Mix member takes turns with the verse, they join forces in a sultry layered harmony on the hook. Then, things jump to an entirely new level when Missy chimes in to spit her verse: "Imma change my number, I'mma keep it distant/ Now you want me back/ You wanna pay a visit/ You get this dial tone...click click!" We have to say, in a sea of homogenous sugary sweet pop, the retro vibes of this Little Mix jam are a welcome surprise. And props to you, Simon Cowell (Little Mix is on his Syco label) -- you're the the girl band (and boy band) whisperer!
Look out for the girls' debut disc, DNA, when it arrives Stateside on May 28, featuring a collaboration with another big name: TLC’s T-Boz!! OMG.

Star Spotting: Britney Spears Gets Another (Better!) Wax Treatment


Britney Spears gets another wax figure.
Britney Spears' new wax statue nailed everything... Well, except maybe her hair color!
Guys! Britney Spears got another wax treatment! (Not that kind of wax treatment...weirdos.) Yep, Madame Tussauds has unveiled a brand-new Britney wax statue in New York City, and we know what you're thinking: This sculpture looks kiiiinda like that Britney wax figure hanging around the Sydney airport (again, WHAT WERE THEY THINKING?!). But unlike that should-be-birthday-candle horror show, NYC's version has done us proud. This new statue ALMOST looks as flawlessly gorg as the real B. Spears! Now all Britney needs is a box of Tic Tacs, and we'd be completely stumped as to who's real and who's fake....

It's hard to imagine Justin Bieber getting starstruck at all, since basically the entire world follows him on Twitter, which means the entire world is starstruck BY HIM. But as you can clearly tell in the above Instagram photo, the Biebs got a smidge starry-eyed in the presence of a Wayne Gretzky jersey (Wayne Gretzky being one of the most famous hockey players ever, duh). He captioned the pic: "Wayne Gretzky ... The Great One." And keep in mind, Justin is so obsessed with hockey that he got a hockey-themed tattoo on the back of his left shoulder. (And yes, that shoulder also supports JB's massive GUN SHOW!)...

Or, alternatively, Sel's homage to "The Hunger Games" and Katniss' "Girl On Fire" moment. (We're obviously thrilled with either interpretation.)....

Star Spotting: Kevin Jonas Is OUR Guitar Hero In The Jonas Brothers' Forthcoming 'Pom Poms' Video


In case you didn't know, Kevin Jonas is is the hardcore rocker Jonas Brother in this photo from the "Pom Poms" video.
Note to self: Kevin Jonas' hair looks EVEN BETTER when it's near a guitar. 
At this point, the buildup to the Jonas Brothers' forthcoming "Pom Poms" video is comparable to what one might feel in the moments leading up to a first kiss and/or biting into that perfect spicy tuna roll. Or something. (Was that a weird thing to say?) We've already caught the bros filming their video on an abandoned football field, and we've (thankfully) already heard a teeny tiny preview of the actual track. Now, the boys are laying it on thick by collectively tweeting another teaser by way of a collection of stills from the video. And wanna know our favorite one? Oh, just the above epic image of oldest JoBro Kevin SLAYING his "I'm the modern-day Bon Jovi" rocker pose.
In addition to images of the brass section nailing their riffs and the guys' drummer going HAM on the drum set, Kevin tweeted the above image of himself with the caption: "I'm ready. Are YOU? #PomPoms7." Oh, Kev, baby, WE ARE READY. And by the look of it, so is your hair, which is looking MIGHTY FINE. Like, almost as good as it does here, but a little better since you're holding an electric guitar, and everyone looks sexier when they're holding an instrument (except for a tuba). Anyway, can't wait until all the pieces come together and we get to watch the video in the privacy of our own home. Along with some low-fat popcorn, maybe some mood lighting, and maybe a boyfriend to make us feel a little less sad about not dating a JoBro.
Lookout for the Jonas Brothers' "Pom Poms" video when it drops on April 2.

There are two HUGE things going on in this photo from Nickelodeon's 2013 Kids' Choice Awards that we're basically LIVING FOR. First, is there a budding sexy-single-BFF thing between Katy Perry and Selena Gomez that we haven't officially heard about yet? They've been hanging out a lot and even sat next to each other at the awards like total besties?! Second, Katy's facial expression deserves a standing ovation -- girl NAILED Taylor Swift's classic "surprised" face! Oh, and while we're on that topic, we really suggest Taylor getting a trademark on that face STAT, 'cause everyone's doing it, and she's losing potential revenues.....

Oh, just Blue Ivy being cradled in Beyonce's arm while rocking tot-sized Timberland boots.
Imagine the tingly feeling you got when you saw Beyoncé and Jay-Z's royal offspring being fed while wearing a tot-size "Watch The Throne Shirt." Now take that tingly feeling, and raise it to the 2 magillionth power, and you still won't come remotely close to the amount of prickly tingles you should feel while looking at this photo of Bey, carrying her baby Blue Ivy, who happens to be rocking tot-size Timberland boots!!! Also: PIGTAILS! WE CANNOT. SIMPLY CAN NOT.....

Please Enjoy Joe Jonas' Excellent Twitter Response To His Sex Tape, Which Does Not Exist


Joe Jonas responds to his alleged sex tape on Twitter.
We do not believe in a Joe Jonas sex tape for a minute.
Yesterday Twitter blew up with news of a rumored Joe Jonas sex tape involving Joe and his girlfriend, Blanda Eggenschwiler, and Team Jonas was quick to confirm that the sex tape rumors were totally false, which, in our Jonas-loving hearts, we obviously assumed all along.
Now the allegations were, how shall we say, on the mature side. And obviously, at age 23, Joe Jonas is an adult, but the bondage references seemed far-fetched for a guy once known for rocking a purity ring. Which is why we had to applaud Joe's mature, dismissive Twitter response, which was just a beautifully succinct "ball gag? really? me? come on guys."......

Taylor Swift chills with her cat before her Red Tour stopover in Columbia, South Carolina.
A private concert for one CAT.
It's kinda hard to admit we're majorly JEALS of a cat right now, since well, who wants to go to the bathroom in A LITTER BOX? That in mind, we'd pretty much kill to be the above feline (who looks pretty similar to Taylor Swift's cat Meredith) sitting on a couch, relaxing and listening to Taylor prepare for her Red Tour stopover in Columbia, South Carolina....

30 апреля в СК «Олимпийский» состоится концерт Джастина Бибера


Justin Bieber Live


Джастин Бибер (Justin Bieber) – канадский поп-R&B певец, автор песен, музыкант, актер. Джастин продал 15 миллионов копий своих альбомов.
Джастин Бибер родился 1 марта 1994 года. В 2007 году, когда ему было 12 лет, Бибер спел Ne-Yo «So Sick» на местном конкурсе песни «Стратфордский Идол», где занял второе место. Его мать разместила видеозапись выступления на YuoTube, чтобы родственники и друзья смогли увидеть. Благодаря тому, что она продолжала загружать видео Бибера, его популярность на сайте росла. Скутер Браун, бывший менеджер So So Def, искал видео и случайно наткнулся на одно из видео Бибера. Браун был под впечатлением, нашел Джастина и решил связаться с его матерью. Она долго не соглашалась, но, после долгих уговоров, позволила Джастину полететь в Атланту для записывания демо-записей. Вскоре Джастин подписал контракт с Raymond Braun Media Group (RBMG).Его дебютный сингл «One Time» был выпущен в 2009 году, достиг первой десятки в Канаде и попал в топ-30 в некоторых странах.
«My World» - первый мини-альбом. Он был выпущен в 2009 году и стал платиновым в Канаде и США, золотым в Австралии и Новой Зеландии. Джастин стал первым артистом, чьи семь песен из дебютного альбома попали в чат Billboard Hot 100. В поддержку альбома Бибер выступал на VMA 2009, в программах Dome, The Today Show, Wendy Williams Show, Lopez Tonight, шоу Эллен ДеДженерес, Good Morning America.Бибер выступал в Белом доме для президента США и первой леди Мишель Обама на Рождество с песней Стиви Уандера «Someday At Cristmas». В 2010 году, Бибер был ведущим на 52 –й премии Грэмми.
В 2010 году Джастин выпустил первый студийный альбом My World 2.0  Синг «Baby» стал номером пять в США и попал в десятку лучших в семи других странах. Клип к этому синглу в настоящий момент является самым просматриваемым и обсуждаемым. В  этом же году Бибер отправился в свой официальный тур «My World».
В 2011 году вышел биографический документальный фильм-концерт в формате 3D «Никогда не говори никогда». Он стал самым успешным концертным фильмом в США с точки зрения кассовых сборов. В 2011 году Бибер занял второе место в списке Forbes «Самые высокооплачиваемые знаменитости до 30 лет». В этом же году, Бибер выпустил свой второй студийный альбом Under The Mistletoe. Он дебютировал под номером один в Billboard 200, продав 210 000 копий в первую неделю релиза.
В конце 2011 года Бибер начал записывать свой третий студийный альбом под названием Believe. В 2012 году альбом появился в продаже. За первую неделю после выхода диска, дебютировавшего на втором месте Billboard Hot 100, было продано 521000 его цифровых копий.
