Justin Bieber’s handlers are said to be pressing for the pop star to kick Lil Twist and Lil Za out of his Calabasas home and forbid them to drive his cars after Lil Twist’s recent DUI arrest.
But the “As Long As You Love Me” singer, 19, is resisting all of the advice given to him about his friends, saying they’re his true friends and he won’t turn his back on them.
TMZ reports those close to Bieber think his friends are a bad influence on him and his behavior changes when he’s around them, but since Bieber has been around adults most of his life and in the beginning of his career, he wants to stand by the first close group of friends he’s had.
Throughout all of Bieber’s media controversies, he’s been with his new friends. And now his friends are directly affecting his image, most recently Lil Twist getting a DUI while driving Bieber’s Fisker Karma.
Now that Bieber is back together with Selena Gomez, however, she has given him an ultimatum she will only stay with him if he cleans up his act.
