Pop icon Justin Bieber’s battle with the paparazzi has continued as the pop star got into a tense standoff with photographers as both sides turned their cameras on each other via TMZ.
Bieber shared all the drama on Instagram Thursday night and posted a video he shot of the shutterbugs swarming him with their flashing cams.
In the video clip, Bieber is never seen in frame as he shoots video of the paps while he and wife Hailey are leaving a location and being led to a parked SUV.

You can hear Bieber repeatedly say, “Look at these guys,” referring to the photogs snapping photos of him and Hailey. At one point, Hailey is briefly seen trying to hide her face from the camera flashes.
A security guard protected the couple from the paps, putting himself between them and telling the photographers to get lost. In the IG caption, Bieber wrote, “This has to stop.”
However, his words don’t seem to be penetrating. Bieber has been locking horns with the paps for a while now. Most recently, he had a similar run-in with photogs outside a coffee shop in Palm Springs, California, right before the start of Coachella’s first weekend. You may recall … Bieber was angry as he thinks the paps only want to make money off him and he let them know it.
