Justin Bieber is showing a great sense of humor about his now-viral “standing on business” moment. On June 19, the 31-year-old pop icon took to Instagram Stories to poke fun at himself and the meme that’s taken over social media.
Bieber Joins the Meme Craze
The meme originated from a heated encounter Bieber had with paparazzi in Malibu on June 13. When photographers pressed him for a comment, Justin fired back with the phrase, “You’re not getting it. It’s not clocking to you. It’s not clocking to you that I’m standing on business, is it?” The clip quickly went viral, sparking countless memes and TikTok videos.
Rather than shy away, Bieber leaned into the moment. His Instagram Stories featured a selfie paired with the song “Stand on Business” by Myia B Music, with lyrics echoing his now-famous phrase: “She said I stand on business / Every word I say… I don’t play no game.”
Keeping the Fun Going
Justin’s playful posts didn’t stop there. One video showed him maintaining a straight face as “Standing on Business” by Soulja Rilla played, while another captured his grin alongside “Dat Business” by Fredo Bang. The pop star even shared a remix of his viral soundbite, which has gained traction on TikTok.
From Teen Heartthrob to Meme Master
This lighthearted response comes just days after Bieber’s heated Malibu moment made headlines worldwide. Known for his early fame as a teen pop sensation, Justin has since evolved into an artist who embraces his quirks and connects with fans in genuine ways.
By turning a moment of frustration into humor, Bieber demonstrates an ability to take social media culture in stride—winning fans all over again.
