Justin Bieber arrived in Berlin, Germany on Monday, ahead of promoting his smash hit single “ What Do You Mean? ” on Tuesday, which is now charting at No.3 on Billboard’s Hot 100 . The singer is also booked to feature as a guest on NRJ Radio France in Paris on Wednesday.
After flying into the country, the now platinum-coiffed superstar was spotted at a skate park, grabbing a bite to eat at a pizza joint, sightseeing in the city, and even praying and posing for photos in a wood.
But, before any of that happened, Justin had a minor run in with a persistent and rude paparazzo, who invaded the singer’s personal space and tried to film him as he hid in the back seat of a car. Scroll down for the video.
According to the Twitter account of paparazzi company, Stupid Famous People , who later posted video footage , the Biebs “hit the guy with his car door,” when the paparazzo came right up to the window to film the hunched over singer.
A pap in Germany was being an ass, so Justin Bieber hit the guy with his car door. Ha! We may post the video. soon.

However, Stupid Famous People made it clear the pap who tried to film Justin was being “ an ass .” Video footage demonstrably supports that assessment.
In the end, the singer’s security reportedly came to an agreement with the lensman, who was allowed to film the Biebs as he skateboarded for ten minutes. Before that, the star asked the photographer why he was filming when they were driving as it was “dangerous.”
That query was met with a “Why not? “from the pap and a mention of the car door moment.
Justin took to Twitter early Monday to update his 67.4 million followers with his location, writing , “Hello Germany,” and including a link to a non-captioned selfie showing him sitting in between what appears to be overgrown train tracks covered with autumnal leaves.
In the first Berlin-based photo on the singer’s Instagram feed, the Biebs can be seen praying in the same wooded area.
The heartthrob wore grey capri sweatpants with holes, a white t-shirt, a black hoodie, and matching ballcap with white sneakers.
He captioned the snap, “#Pray.”
In other pics, Justin is seen sitting pensively on a swing. In another, he stands looking upward in the wood.
Shots of the singer in a skate park and leaving a pizza cafe also surfaced on Monday, as well as footage of the hundreds of fans surrounding Justin’s hotel in Berlin .
