Justin Bieber forced low-cost fashion retailer to remove a line of clothing with his name plastered on it, after the global superstar called it “trash”.

The Canadian musician took to Instagram to call out H&M on Tuesday, saying he “didn’t approve it”.

“Don’t buy it” he said. “The H&M Merch they made out of me is trash and I didn’t approve it,” Justin wrote on his Instagram story on Tuesday. “Don’t buy it. 

“I didn’t approve any of the merch collection that they put up at H&M,” he wrote. 

“All without my permission and approval. I wouldn’t buy it if I were you.”

In a statement to City PM H&M said: H&M has followed all proper approval procedures, as we have done in this case,  but out of respect for the collaboration and Justin Bieber, we have removed the garments from selling.”
