Justin Bieber's manager has hit out at the UK tabloid press in the wake of bad publicity for the 'Beauty and a Beat' singer.

Bieber's trip to the city got off to a bad start last week, when he was two hours late on-stage at the O2 Arena and later got into an altercation with a photographer.

The popstar also had to pause a separate O2 Arena concert for breathing problems, leading to him being taken to a local hospital after the show.

Bieber's troubles have continued with the cancellation of a concert in Portugal this week, with The Mirror suggesting that low ticket sales are to blame.

His manager Scooter Braun has now attempted to set the record straight, telling Gossip Cop that the UK media has unfairly targeted the singer for negative publicity.



"The British tabloids are full of s**t," Braun declared.

Braun went on to explain that scheduling problems in loading Bieber's stage equipment were actually to blame for the Portugal cancellation.

Bieber spoke out over the weekend to insist that he will return to the UK soon, despite the controversy surrounding his latest visit.
