Justin Bieber's "I 'm Retiring" Tweet Explained.

You don't say Justin tested the gullibility of fans and the media on Christmas Eve when he tweeted to instant chaos! that he was "officially retiring." A few tweets later, he assured his supporters: "The media talks a lot about me. They make up a lot of lies and want me to fail but I'm never leaving you, being a belieber is a lifestyle."

It was a joke and he explained in two tweets afterwards He is basically poking fun of how quickly news spreads without anyone vetting if it is true or not.

The prank was also a great marketing ploy: Believe, Bieber's second documentary film
