Justin Bieber may be set to cash in on his popular Twitter account.
Shots, a selfie app that has been partly backed by the pop star, is in talks to be acquired by Twitter, according to CNBC. Twitter's CFO on Monday night accidentally tweeted about plans to go acquire an unnamed company, leading many to speculate that Shots could be the target.

Twitter and Shots did not immediately respond to requests for comment.
The app has accrued a following as something of a "safe" social network that encourages networking while limiting bullying and other negative interaction.
Shots is run by CEO John Shahidi, who started the company with some promotional help from Bieber, who also invested about $1.1 million in the startup.
Shahidi told Fox Business that the company was focused on building out the app and not on a sale, but did not expressly deny the reports.
