Justin Bieber was involved in a tense exchange with the paparazzi in Palm Springs, California, on Wednesday, April 9.
In a video obtained by TMZ, Justin, 31, can be seen confronting a group of photographers trying to catch a glimpse of him outside a coffee shop. The star appeared to be visiting the café with friends when he spotted the paps.

“[You] want money, money, money, money … get out of here,” the star added as he walked toward the group of photographers.

In a subsequent post, Justin shared a video of a jam session in his home via Instagram. “I think I hate myself sometimes when I feel myself start to become inauthentic,” he wrote in the caption. “Then I remember we’re all being made to think we’re not enough but I still hate when I change myself to please people.”
