Mexican Presidency official twitter account denied Canadian pop singer Justin Bieber allegations that he had a meeting with Mexican president Enrique Peña Nieto.
According to El Universal MX quoting @PresidenciaMX, the official account of the Mexican presidency denies that Bieber ever met the president or his family.
“La @PresidenciaMX desmiente reunión del Titular del Ejecutivo @EPN con el cantante @justinbieber.” (The @PresidenciaMX denies meeting of executive @EPN with singer @justinbieber)
Here’s what Justin Bieber tweeted according to El Universal MX:
“Just met some amazing mexican beliebers and the presidente of mexico and his familia. Now it’s showtime. 60,000 tonight. Night 1. te amo.”
What will Justin Bieber say now? The last thing he tweeted was:
In january 2013, American actor, businessman and pop singer-songwriter singer Justin Timberlake had written an open letter to it’s fans on his official website to announce it’s plans for the year. 8 months later, Timberlake, wrote the second part of the letter on his website.
below, it’s the letter as it appears on his official website:
AN OPEN LETTER 2 OF 2
(TO YOU THE FANS)
The last time I wrote you an open letter, it was in January and I promised that it would be a “Big 2013.” Since then, from The Grammys to the release of the first part of The 20/20 Experience to the crowd’s response at the VMAs, it’s been a wild ride. I hope you’ve enjoyed it as much as I have.
This letter is to tell you that we’re not done…Not even close.
On Sept 30th, the second half of The 20/20 Experience, “The 20/20 Experience 2 of 2”, comes out. Since all these songs were written together over a year ago, it’s been so hard to wait this long to release them. I can’t wait for all of you to hear The 20/20 Experience in full.
So..below is a short clip of the recording of the experience so you can get a feel of what those 20 days were like. It was like no other time I’ve ever had in the studio.
Catch your breath, TN Kids. We’ve still got the 3rd and 4th quarter to go.
This is too much fun.
