At this time, a lot of controversies surrounded Bieber, and he was on the news pretty often. Joe Rogan said, “I just think, people like Justin Bieber… like he’s got a way harder road”. Simpson then added, “All things considered… he’s probably handling it okay.”

Rogan agreed with this comment and replied, “He’s handling it phenomenally.” Simpson then mentioned the fact that Bieber was always on the news and being subjected to scrutiny all the time like he was “does things to people.”

Rogan then brought up the similarity between forming an epoxy and Bieber’s situation. He mentioned how, while forming an epoxy, if one adds any unnecessary ingredient such as oil, it is impossible to take it out once fully developed. This is similar to what happens when a young kid bursts into stardom very early.

Why is Joe Rogan So Important to the UFC?

Rogan said, “If you’re Justin Bieber, you’ve gone through your whole life under the eye, and it’s gotten bigger and bigger and bigger.” He also mentioned how Bieber didn’t have to struggle like himself, and he didn’t have the “Wondering if you could pay your bill feeling.”

Taking all this into account, Rogan was impressed by how Bieber handled the critics.

This sparked a ‘beef’ between Bieber and Diaz after the Canadian singer tweeted that Diaz had a “terrible” style. Diaz clapped back by posting a meme to mock Bieber. However, all this is in the past, as the two settled their differences after meeting in a club and posting a picture together to squash the beef.
