Justin Bieber is seemingly reevaluating his friendship with fellow singer Kanye West, after the latter called Hailey Bieber “nose job Hailey Baldloose” for supporting Vogue editor Gabriella Karefa-Johnson amid the “White Lives Matter” apparel issue.
Justin believes that West “crossed a line” with his “hurtful and untrue” statement against Hailey, as disclosed by an unnamed source to Entertainment Tonight yesterday, Oct. 10.
“Justin is very protective over Hailey. He is upset by Kanye’s attack on her where he said hurtful and untrue things,” the source was quoted as saying. “He feels like he has been a true friend to Kanye, and tried to empathize with him in the past, but this crossed a line that he’s not OK with.”
“Being there for Hailey and supporting his wife is Justin’s main priority, and he’s doing that and distancing himself from Kanye,” the source added.
West’s “attack” on Hailey came after she expressed admiration to Karefa-Johnson, saying she is honored to work with the fashion editor.

“Get your girl before I get mad. You [are supposed] to be my friend, right?” West addressed Justin.
West and Karefa-Johnson earlier made headlines after the fashion editor criticized the singer’s “White Lives Matter” apparel during Yeezy’s fashion show in Paris, describing the display as “indefensible behavior.” West immediately fired back at the editor by mocking her fashion style in a now-deleted post on his Instagram page.
West and Karefa-Johnson reportedly met and had a discussion on the matter, with West stating that they already “apologized to each other for the way they made each other feel.” EDV
