Recently, Justin Bieber appeared on a radio show and announced he was retiring … but that was a joke. Tonight on Christmas Eve, Bieber has posted the below tweet announcing that he’s actually retiring. Do you think this is for real?

Bieber further posts the following tweets, which makes me think he’s definitely serious …
The media talks a lot about me.They make a up a lot of lies and want me to fail but I'm never leaving you, being a belieber is a lifestyle.

E! News has reported that Justin’s manager Scooter Braun has asked him to take a year off after the premiere of his movie Believe, which comes out tomorrow … Hopefully, Bieber’s not really retiring and he’s just taking a long-needed break.
