Charlie Puth calls out Justin Bieber, apologizes, reverse-apologizes
When he learns that Charlie Puth yelled out "F*ck you, Justin Bieber!" at a concert, Bieber's response may well be "Who's Charlie Puth?"
Then again, Bieber might not even know that he's been drawn into new beef. After his outburst, Puth tweeted an apology -- which he later deleted, somehow drawing even more attention to it.

Puth's original comment came in the middle of a performance of "We Don't Talk Anymore," a song that features Selena Gomez in its recorded version.

In his since-deleted tweets, Puth called his comment "a joke" but conceded that "the way it was said mid song did not sound like one."
Fair enough. But why did Puth delete the tweets? And doesn't Puth realize that he is trifling with powers far greater than he's ever encountered before?
Bieber has yet to respond or even pay notice to this pseudo-feud, so one can only hope Puth has been advised to keep calm and move on.
