"It's junk, don't buy it!" : H&M withdraws a Justin Bieber collection after the anger of the star

The Swedish clothing giant H&M announced Tuesday the withdrawal of the sale of a collection signed Justin Bieber after a furious message from the Canadian star.

The singer claims that he did not agree to this "junk".

“The H&M merchandising they did with my name is junk and I didn't approve of it.

Don't buy it,” the 28-year-old singer said in an Instagram story post.

This range was put on sale "entirely without my permission", he also claimed.

Contacted by AFP, H&M claims to have withdrawn the entire range from sale “out of respect” for the artist.

"As with all other licensed products and partnerships, H&M has followed the appropriate approval procedures," a spokesperson said in an email.

But out of respect for the collaboration and Justin Bieber we have removed the garments from our stores and online.
