Justin Bieber wants everyone to know that he’s still standing on business. And if those words mean nothing to you, then allow me to explain.
As I’m sure you know, Justin has a complicated history with the paparazzi. And, last week, a video of him telling the paps to leave him alone during a trip to the beach went very viral thanks to his vehement delivery of the line: “It’s not clocking to you that I’m standing on business, is it?”
There’s a lot to be said for Justin’s use of AAVE and the way he was being harassed in the clip. But, away from that, people have managed to find some humor in the footage, with the “standing on business” line sparking a mass of jokes, memes, and edits on social media.
And now, with everyone online standing on business, too, Justin has entered the chat to let the world know that he’s in on the joke.
On Wednesday, the 31-year-old took to Instagram to post a series of close-up smiling selfies — each pointedly set to the sound of a different song about “standing on business.” In the first one, he’s standing on business to “Stand on Business” by Miya B Music.
In this one, he’s gone for “Standing On Business” by Soulja Rilla.
Here he went for something different, including the “standing on that business” lyrics from Fredo Bang’s “Dat Business.”
And in this one, he’s letting the people clock that he’s listening to “Standing On Business” by 28thbby.
If the point wasn’t clear enough, he also posted a selfie to Monica’s “U Should’ve Known Better.” So, yeah, I think he’s brushing off the haters.
