Biebs blasts love rival as lost Weeknd

- Peter Sblendorio

NEVER SAY never — unless you're talking about listening to the Weeknd’s music.

Justin Bieber made it plainly evident he's no fan of the R&B crooner, who recently began a new romance with the pop star’s ex-girlfriend, Selena Gomez. “Hell no, I can’t listen to a Weeknd song,” Bieber told a TMZ cameraman in West Hollywood after being asked whether he listens to him. “That s--t’s whack.”

It’s the first time Bieber — who dated Gomez off and on from 2011 to 2014 — has so much as responded to a question about the Weeknd (photo) since the new relationsh­ip went public.

Last week, the 22-year-old Bieber ignored similar questionin­g.

The Weeknd and Gomez sparked an online firestorm earlier this month when they were photograph­ed making out following a date at a swanky Santa Monica, Calif. restaurant. Drama ensured immediatel­y after, with the Weeknd’s ex-girlfriend Bella Hadid reportedly feeling betrayed by Gomez.
