After an epic showdown with fans and his ex-girlfriend Selena Gomez that has played out on Instagram over the last week, Justin Bieber has held true to his threats and deleted his Instagram account.

Over the weekend, the popstar wrote under a photo of himself and his 17-year-old girlfriend, “I’m gonna make my Instagram private if you guys don’t stop the hate this is getting out of hand”. The drama is REAL, you guys!

After days of threatening online action, Justin Bieber has officially deactivated his Instagram account.

“Don’t be mad at your fans”. She also pointed out that the fans “loved you and supported you before anyone ever did”.

Gomez and Bieber then exchanged a series of sub-comments in which Gomez accused Bieber of “cheating multiple times” and Biebs referred to Selena as someone who “used me for attention and still try to point the finger this way”. Though the comments were deleted, fans posted screengrabs.

Then #RIPBeliebers and #SelenaEndedJustinParty became a thing, with folks declaring themselves Bieber free and #TeamGomez.

Justin Bieber’s 77 million plus Instagram fans will undoubtedly not let this slight go without retaliation.

Gomez had previously said about Malik: “If he had asked me out on a date, I would be seen with him”. “I feel like a zoo animal, and I wanna be able to keep my sanity”. Though there are screenshots of Selena’s comments, it is unknown whether they were really made by her. Hope u can all be kind to my friends and each other. “And yes I love my beliebers”.

Whether Justin takes the message to heart and reinstates his Instagram page is anyone’s guess, and still up in the air after a weekend of sniping and back and forth accusations of cheating. Whoa! Meanwhile, Selena took to Snapchat to admit, “What I wrote was selfish and pointless”, but has not expanded on the situation any further.
