Hailey Bieber has shared her disapproval of Billboard’s greatest pop star list, after her husband missed out on the top five spots.
The model and wife of Justin Bieber lashed out online after seeing the list where he ranked number eight. Billboard has been gradually revealing their top 25 pop artists and although Justin landed at number eight, Hailey was not impressed.
“Billboard is a ——- joke as per usual,” she wrote, along with a kiss emoji, in the comment section of Billboard’s Instagram account.
In their announcement, Billboard called the What Do You Mean singer the “greatest teen-pop phenomenon of the early 2010s” who “ultimately made the jump to true adult superstardom, blazing a new trail for young 21st century hitmakers in the process.”
Hailey seemed unfazed by the glowing praise for her husband and father of their new baby Jack Blues Bieber, instead focusing on the number at which he ranked and those who came ahead of him. Bieber placed behind Kanye West, Britney Spears, Lady Gaga, Drake, and Rihanna.
The top two spots on Billboard’s list have not yet been announced, and fans are speculating that they have been saved for pop queens Beyonce and Taylor Swift. Hailey’s now viral comment has been echoed by fans who think Bieber deserved a place in the top three.
The 30-year-old recently sparked concerns after his first public outing with Hailey since they welcomed their baby boy in August. He has been open about his struggles with mental health and is reportedly spending more time than ever at home, causing those close to him to become concerned.
