Justin Bieber is receiving substantial backlash after revealing he cruelly told his wife, Hailey, that she would never grace the cover of Vogue during a heated argument.

On the same day his spouse, 28, achieved her dream, the pop star, 31, divided the internet over his Instagram post congratulating her on the feat. 

The Sorry hitmaker’s sense of humor did not land with his or Hailey’s fans as he  divulged why her Vogue cover was a full circle moment for them as couple.

‘Yo this reminds me when Hailey and I got into a huge fight, I told hails that she would never be on the cover of vogue, Yikes I know, so mean, For some reason because I felt so disrespected I thought I gotta get even,’ he explained. 

Justin continued: ‘think as we mature we realize that we’re not helping anything by getting even, we’re honestly just prolonging what we really want which is intimacy and connection.’

He concluded his post by writing a message directly to Hailey, which read: ‘So baby u already know but forgive me for saying u wouldn’t get a vogue cover cuz clearly i was sadly mistaken.’

Many saw his post as a backhanded compliment and something ‘so unnecessary’ to share with his mjore than 294 million Instagram followers. 

‘It’s okay to have secrets Justin,’ one commented. 

Another wrote: ‘May this love never find me.’ 

‘Why would you write something like that… put that phone down please,’ a third urged.

Others criticized him for accidentally writing ‘sadly mistaken’ versus ‘happily’ mistaken, since he intended to congratulate her on the achievement.
