Los Angeles, Aug 15 (IANS) Grammy Award winning singer Justin Bieber has threatened to make his Instagram account private because of the abuse directed towards his new girlfriend on the social media platform.
The "Sorry" hitmaker recently went public with model Sofia Richie, but after fans took to social media to criticise her appearance, Bieber has issued a warning, reports femalefirst.co.uk.
The 22-year-old said on the photo-sharing website: "I'm gonna make my Instagram private if you guys don't stop the hate, this is getting out of hand, if you guys are really fans you wouldn't be so mean to people that I like."
This comes shortly after Bieber's ex-girlfriend Selena Gomez said she accepts that people don't really know what her life is like.
