Justin Bieber continues Saudi Arabia performance despite protests | Stars

entertainment">According to them, Bieber went purely for the money, while he could have made a statement by not traveling to a country where, for example, women’s rights are still not equal to those of men and homosexuality is also seen as a sin. This reports TMZ.

entertainment">Among others, the fiancée of journalist Jamal Khashoggi, who was murdered by a Saudi assassination squad, wrote an open letter to Bieber explaining why it would send the wrong signal if he acted. The woman, named Hatice Cengiz, especially pointed out the murder of her fiancé the day before they were to get married, while Jamal as a journalist, according to her, “was doing nothing but his job, but had to be eliminated by the regime” . Bieber’s fans followed suit, supported Cengiz and also tried to prevent the singer from performing.

entertainment">Despite frantic efforts to change Justin’s mind, he was on the podium in Jeddah, where the race took place, on Sunday. He sang a number of his hits and according to those present, he did his best to make it a great show. Bieber’s wife Hailey was also present at the performance. Justin’s spokesmen declined to comment on the performance.
