Justin Bieber merchandise pulled from H&M after singer calls out 'trash' apparel

H&M is pulling merchandise featuring Justin Bieber's image after the pop star called the apparel "trash."

The retailer has chosen to remove the items, according to a statement obtained by FOX Business.

Bieber first accused the retail store of using his likeness without approval in a series of Instagram stories shared to his personal account on Monday. He further encouraged fans not to buy the items.

"I didn't approve any of the merch collection that they put up at H&M," he told his 270 million followers. "All without permission and approval SMH I wouldn't buy it if I were you."

He wrote in another story, "The H&M merch they made of me is trash and I didn't approve it don't buy it."

Regarding Beiber's claims, the retailer told FOX Business, "Justin’s license holder has confirmed that H&M had the right contracts in place and followed all proper approval procedures for each selected design. Nevertheless, out of respect for Justin, we removed the products from our site and stores, and we’re working to find the best way to make use of them."

Their statement continued, "We have been Justin Bieber’s merchandise partner since 2016 and we are very proud of the work we have done so far."

WHAT IS JUSTIN BIEBER'S NET WORTH?

It is unclear if Bieber's dismay with the Swedish-based brand stems from a new collection or previous collaborations.

Bieber's representatives did not immediately respond to FOX Business' request for comment.

The "Peaches" musician launched his own "Drew House" clothing line in 2019, which featured a smiling face logo across a variety of unisex T-shirts, sweats and slippers.
