Justin Bieber apologized to Marilyn Manson after the dispute over a t-shirt.

The 23-year-old used a picture of the rocker for one of his merchandise items for his 'Purpose World Tour' in 2016, but without Manson's consent. When the latter then complained, Justin is said to have replied that he should be happy because he has at least made him relevant again. The 'Beautiful People' interpreter did not want to be left alone and described the child star as a "piece of ***". Now Justin has apologized to him.

In a text message he wrote: "I thought we had a pleasant interaction. And if something went wrong with the T-shirts, I'm very sorry. But anyway, it kind of hurt that I like one Ar *** hole came over or maybe even an *** hole, I'm so sorry? I honestly really thought we would have survived. Again, my fault. If I was an *** hole, it wasn't my intention. I just wanted to let you know. I don't really care about the media. I just wanted to make sure the two of us got along because I like you. "

The 48-year-old read the message aloud when he was a guest on the 'Howard Stern Show' on Tuesday (September 19). And he also shared the answer with the public: "Everything cool. People made this t-shirt theme a fake argument. Let's forget it and shoot the press and let's do something together. It It's going to be really good. And don't apologize. You weren't an asshole. They asked if you were and I somehow agreed. I wasn't out to get you. I'll try Stern tonight to avoid the questions. "
