Justin Bieber Reportedly Used ‘Racial Epithets’ During 2016 Fight Outside Cleveland Hotel

The singer has been accused of using “racial epithets” during a fight that took place outside a Cleveland hotel during the 2016 NBA Finals.

The altercation allegedly began after Rodney Tobias Cannon was introduced to Bieber at the Westin Hotel in Cleveland, according to documents obtained by The Blast. While their interaction was initially friendly, Cannon claims things “drastically changed” after he took a photograph of Bieber, who he claims “suddenly became irate” and started “aggressively threatening harm to [Cannon] if the photograph was not deleted.”

“In addition to threatening to harm” Cannon, according to the documents the singer’s “threatening communications made in public in front of a number of people included the use of racial epithets.”

Sources close to the situation told The Blast that they believed Bieber used the “N-word” during the altercation.

However, a source close to Bieber told PEOPLE Bieber did not use any racial epithet. “This guy has been trying unsuccessfully to get money from Justin for years off of this incident,” the source said. “He has failed, largely because he threw the first punch and instigated the physical altercation. He has never before claimed anything about a racial slur.”
