From his newly dyed blond locks to the old footage of him using the N-word, Justin Bieber made waves in the media throughout 2014, making him the world’s most tweeted about artist of the year, according to a new report from Twitter.
With a whole lot of good, bad and ugly stemming from his timeline, SheKnows decided to take a look back at some of the Biebster’s most controversial tweets of the year.
1. Anniversary of My World
Bieber knows that he must pay respects to his beginnings and, in November, the singer sent some good words into the blogosphere about the five-year anniversary of his debut EP, My World.
#5YearsOfMyWorld 5 years since the my world album. We have come a long way and have a long way to go. Thanks 4 always sticking by me. Love u

2. Fessing up
When old footage of JB using the N-word surfaced online, people were outraged. Sure, the already-questionable Bieber was really young, but it was still unacceptable. However, Bieber used his Twitter account to address the footage with a heartfelt apology.

4. Working on his fitness
Throughout the year, Bieber did a lot of working in the studio, but he also did a lot of working out in the gym and he wasn’t afraid to share his progress with various photos on social media. There’s also that one time that he stripped down to his undies at Fashion Rocks.

5. Apology x 2
Bieber committed a huge no-no in 2014 when he posted a photo of himself standing in front of the controversial Yasukuni Shrine in Tokyo, which symbolizes Japanese militarism.
I would never do anything to hurt my fans. I love all people. my heart goes out to the people of Korea at this time. love you

6. Believing Beliebers
Despite all the murky mud that Justin walked through this year, his Beliebers have stood by him. In one tweet, which was posted in August, the singer spoke about his appreciation for one of his fans and how much her words really meant to him.
Just met a an amazing fan Kim you know who you are. She said I saved her life those words meant the world.

7. Loser keeps Bieber
JB wasn’t happy to be the butt of jokes when a Chicago-area company erected a major expressway sign that read, “Loser Keeps Bieber.” It was a jibe that was initially started by the Olympic hockey battles between the United States and Canada.
I guess I'm an easy target for some. I'm still human. I will continue to meet hate with love. It's all about the music. Much love

8. Papa-paparazzi
Bieber’s frustrations with the paparazzi hit a new high this year when he was rear-ended by a paparazzo during a drive in West Hollywood. According to reports, the singer was irritated with the tailing photographer and slammed his breaks. He took to Twitter shortly afterwards and compared himself to Princess Diana.
There should be laws against what I just experienced. We should have learned from the death of Princess Diana…

…I don't have a problem with Paparazzi but when they act recklessly they put us all in danger.
