It looks like Justin Bieber has quite the support system!
After old unseen footage was released this week of the Believe singer making racist jokes back when he was 15 years old, some have spoken out with their support for him.
Many have awaited the response of his mentor, Usher, who has finally shared his thoughts on Justin and the situation on his Instagram page.
He said of the Biebz:
At my core, I am a person that supports growth and understands without judgement, that growth often comes as a result of pain and continues effort. As I have watched Justin Bieber navigate difficult waters as a young man, I can tell you that he hasn’t always chosen the path of his greatest potential, but he is unequivocally not a racist. What he was 5 years ago was a naive child who did not understand the negative power and degradation that comes from playing with racial slurs. What he is now is a young man faced with an opportunity to become his best self, an example to the millions of kids that follow him to not make the same mistakes.
What do you guys think of Usher’s response?
The role to play Whitney Houston in an upcoming biopic has finally been filled.

Whitney’s story will cover her trials and tribulations while making a successful career for herself as she sparks an intense relationship with Bobby Brown.
Yaya already has some acting experience after starring in The Butler, Take The Lead, and some cameos in All My Children previously.
Let us know if you think they made a good choice for Whitney’s legacy!
