Pop singer Justin Bieber swept a pair of Argentina flags that fans threw to stage during his South American Tour offending many Argentine fans.
In some videos fans filmed during a concert celebrated last Saturday, two fans throw Argentine flags to Justin Bieber feet expecting him to pick them up.
Suddenly, Bieber starts to drag the first flag out of stage with his foot, while a second flag gets on stage and Bieber starts using the microphone stand as a broom to get rid of the flags.
"Heard about what is going on with me down in Argentina and im shocked. I love Argentina and have had some of the best shows of my tour there," Justin Bieber tweeted on Wednesday night. "people throw stuff on my stage all show and i get it to the stage hands to get off so no one got hurt. that video i saw a bra and thought..."
"...it was a shirt. Im being told by my team it was a shirt but even if it was a flag I would never do anything to disrespect Argentina..." he added. "...or the people of Argentina or the fans. Im so sorry for anyone who took my actions the wrong way and I hope you can forgive this mistake. So once again to the people of Argentina. Im sorry if that was taken the wrong way and im sorry for my mistake. I hope u can accept this.. and I loved my time there performing for you and look forward to coming back. I gave my all and I know the fans did there too. te amo."
"I would never do anything to disrespect my fans. I dont like having to defend myself but this time it was needed as I mean no disrespect," he concluded.
According to Scooter Braun, Bieber's manager, he had to "spent his day dealing with pandemonium that @justinbieber caused in Argentina" as Argentina law points that disgracing Argentina's flag is a crime punishable by up to four years in prison.
