LOS ANGELES—Justin Bieber will take a DNA test to prove that he did not father a 20-year old fan’s baby — and then will turn the tables on her paternity suit by taking her to court once the results come in, US media reported Monday.

US gossip website TMZ said that the teen singing sensation is presently on tour in Europe, but plans to take the DNA test when he returns to the United States to prove that he did not father the infant son born to Mariah Yeater, 20.

Yeater made the claim in a paternity suit filed in Los Angeles last week, news reports said.

Sources say Bieber, 17, and his team think it’s important to file a lawsuit against Yeater as a deterrent to others who might be tempted to make similar charges in the future.

His legal team, which has called Yeater’s paternity claims “malicious, defamatory and demonstrably false,” has vowed to “vigorously pursue all available legal remedies to defend and protect Justin against these allegations.”

Yeater, who gave birth to a baby boy in July, has said that she and Bieber met backstage at a concert in Los Angeles in October of last year, where he propositioned her.

“When I later realized I was pregnant with Justin Bieber’s baby, I tried to contact him through his representatives but no one ever called me back,” she told the court, according to another gossip sheet, The Star.

The Canadian-born pop singer told his fans in a tweet last week that he intended to block out the allegations that, although still a kid himself, he had fathered a love-child.

“Im going to ignore the rumors … and focus on what is real. an opportunity to help by doing what i love. Judge me on the music! Love yall!” he wrote.

Bieber currently is in Europe promoting a new Christmas-themed album “Under the Mistletoe.”

On Sunday, he received one of the inaugural MTV Voices awards at the MTV Europe Video Awards in Belfast, in recognition of his work raising millions of dollars for various charities.
