In a recent interview, Justin Bieber claims he became “very arrogant and cocky”.

The Canadian singer who has been under the guidance of manager Scooter Braun admits he started out as a real artist but later became manufactured.

“I was real at first and then I was manufactured as, slowly, they just took more and more control,” Bieber said, adding: “I started really feeling myself too much: “people love me, I’m the shit” – that’s honestly what I thought. I got very arrogant and cocky. I was wearing sunglasses inside.”

Bieber who has been on hiatus since 2015 say, “Just thinking about music stresses me out.”

He also notes, “I’ve been successful since I was 13, so I didn’t really have a chance to find who I was apart from what I did. I just needed some time to evaluate myself: who I am, what I want out of my life, my relationships, who I want to be – stuff that when you’re so immersed in the music business you kind of lose sight of.”
