Justin Bieber has publicly announced his support for the Black Lives Matter movement, stating that he will do his part to stand up and make sure everyone is 'equal'.
David Jason arrives on set with two security guards after 'credible threat' on his lifeThe singer, 23, took to Instagram to post a picture of The Black Lives Matter logo and captioned it with a message of support.
'I am a white Canadian and I will never know what it feels like to be an African American but what I do know is I am willing to stand up and use my voice to shine light on racism, because it's a real thing and it's more prevalent now than I have ever seen in my lifetime,' he wrote.
'We are all Gods children and we are ALL EQUAL.'
Justin's post comes after he was recently branded a 'good Christian' by Hillsong Church pastor and friend Carl Lentz, who claimed the star – who has been the centre of a number of controversies in the past – was using his 'relationship with Jesus' to help navigate changes in his life.
'We don't pay him to attend. He comes on his own. I think that Justin is a good Christian. I don't think his problems are behind him, but we all have to deal with other stuff to come,' Lentz said.
'His relationship with Jesus is changing his life daily. It is one of those things where you never really get it, it takes a while to keep growing as a person. Every day he is getting older, and with each chapter comes new growth … This is what conference is all about.
'Everyone here would buy a ticket and be a part of it. He feels like it is a big part of his year.'
Hillsong is a 'megachurch' which is growing in popularity around the world thanks to a number of young celebrities attending ceremonies. As well as Bieber, other celebs to have shown their faces include Kourtney Kardashian and Selena Gomez.
Justin disappointed fans across the globe by cancelling the remainder of his Purpose Tour, but many believe that Hillsong pastor Carl Lentz was involved in his decision to ditch the tour dates.
However on Thursday, Justin's manager Scooter Braun, said that the Sorry singer would reveal his reasons for cancelling the tour 'when he is ready'.
Appearing on CBS' This Morning programme, when interviewer Gayle King asked him if Justin had fallen 'into a dark place again', the manager said the popstar would reveal all in due course.
'Look, I think he'll decide to tell people when he's ready of what exactly happened. But I think he was making a decision, like he said, to protect himself,' said Scooter on Wednesday.
'But he's 23 years old now, and if he makes a decision as a man, as long as he's willing to listen to opinions and hear people out – if he has true conviction, I'm willing to have his back.'
