In a video obtained by TMZ, a photographer greeted Justin Bieber with a “Good morning,” prompting him to snap back, “No! Not good morning! You already know. Why are you here?”
The singer then approached the group, accusing them of only being there for profit. “Money, money, money, money, money,” Bieber repeated while making a 'pay me' gesture with his fingers.
“Get outta here, bro. Money, that’s all you want. You don’t care about human beings,” Bieber shouted as he blocked a phone from recording him.
The 31-year-old told the photographers to leave the scene, repeating, “That’s all you care about, guys. Is money. You don’t care about people. Only money. You don’t care about human beings,” as the group backed away, Page Six noted.
