Floyd Mayweather Jr has flown into a rage after Justin Bieber unfollowed him on Instagram, according to a new report.
Boxing superstar Mayweather went ‘insane, nuclear’ after pop-idol Bieber, a longtime supporter, recently pulled the plug on their online bromance, according to sources cited by TMZ.
The boxer even called Bieber a ‘traitor’ during his outburst, the sources said.
Bieber, 23, has long been close with Mayweather, 40, and even walked the boxer to the ring for his much-hyped bout against Manny Pacqiao in 2015.

But the crooner has lately been spending much of his time with Pastor Carl Lentz of Hillsong Church, and is said to be getting counseling about reducing ‘bad influences’ in his life.
Beiber has been involved in the New York City Pentecostal megachurch for two years now, and has become very close with Lentz.
‘I just enjoy seeing people worship, praising God. It’s just real, authentic,’ Bieber said last month at a church conference in Sydney, Australia, where the church was founded.
‘I just wanna love people more. I want to love Carl more,’ Bieber said.
He is said to be getting counseling from church members, who urged him to set boundaries and limit bad influences in his life.
Mayweather is a notorious strip-club fiend. Bieber may have unfollowed him on Instagram as he has gotten more deeply involved in church

It’s unclear whether the church’s wholesome influence led to the Instagram dis against Mayweather, but the fighter is a notorious strip-club fiend.
The undefeated boxer has even announced he will be greeting fans in the strip club he owns in Las Vegas every day between now and his massively promoted fight with Conor McGregor on Saturday.
Bieber, in the ultimate insult, even told a TMZ camera last week he didn’t think Mayweather would KO McGregor in the fight.
Mayweather is the current favorite to win the bout at four-to-one odds.
