Bieber threatens to make Instagram account private

Justin Bieber has threatened to make his Instagram account private because of the abuse directed towards his new girlfriend on the social media platform.

The Sorry hitmaker recently went public with model Sofia Richie, but after fans took to social media to criticise her appearance, Bieber has issued a warning.

“I’m gonna make my Instagram private if you guys don’t stop the hate, this is getting out of hand, if you guys are really fans you wouldn’t be so mean to people that I like,” Bieber posted on Instagram.
