Why Did Justin Bieber Put His Cigarette Out on Post Malone, Forcing Post Malone to Choke Justin Bieber? An Investigation

WTF happened?

Image by Frances Smith

Earlier this week, two presumed bros—Justin Bieber and Post Malone—found their way into a club in Houston. While they were in the club, one bro (Post Malone) started to play his smash hit "White Iverson" from behind the DJ booth. In the midst of this well-known banger, the other bro (Justin Bieber) apparently put a cigarette out on the first bro's (Post Malone) arm. This obviously goes against bro code, so the burned bro (Post Malone), various tabloids report, decided to retaliate and choke the burner bro (Justin Bieber). You can watch a video of the burning here thanks to TMZ. And then here's a picture of the choking that we can't publish because we'll probably get sued.

Anyway, bro, what happened?

One bro (Post Malone) tweeted that they were just playing around, insisting that it was a joke.

he's my big brother and we like to rough house

But, like, come on. We're not sure if we buy this. Did you see the way Bieber looked at him while Post threatened to crush his vocal cords and ruin his future with one squeeze? Bro, it was serious. Seriously, not cool, bro. We have some theories:

• A weird sex thing.

• Tattoos are over, cigarette burns are in.

• Bieber misunderstood when someone yelled out “it’s lit!”

• He was moved by the performance to commit arson, and the first thing he saw to burn was Post Malone’s arm.

• Post Malone saw the premiere of Game of Thrones already because Malone has a friend that works at HBO and spoiled something about the Starks or some shit for Bieber.

• Bieber is convinced he knows how to play basketball.

• Post Malone convinced Bieber to get dreadlocks.
