Hanging out with rappers must be rubbing off on Justin Bieber because the pop star tried to fight a photographer in London earlier today.
According to TMZ, Bieber, flanked by a couple of bodyguards was leaving the Central London hotel when his crew pushed their way past a photographer.
The photographer screamed that he was assaulted and started to curse at Bieber, who had already made it inside his vehicle.
"F*ck off back to America!" the photog yelled "F*cking little moron."
The 19-year old singer who stands 5'7, and probably doesn't weigh more than 140 pounds hopped out of his ride and tried to go after the photographer.
"The f*ck you say? What did you say? I'll f*cking beat the f*ck out of you," Bieber said, while being restrained by one of his bodyguards.
"Lose your f*cking bouncers," the cameraman replied. "Come back you prick!"
By that time Bieber's security team had placed him back inside his SUV, ending the confrontation.
Bieber tweeted about the incident shortly afterwards.

Terrence Howard took a break from lusting after Oprah Winfrey's "tig ole bitties" and sat down with HipHollywood to talk about his new film Dead Man Down.
In the movie Terrence plays the ruthless crime lord Alphonse.
"You have to tap into your own mistakes and misgivings that you've made," Terrence said, speaking about how he got into character to play a villain in the flick. "You have to rip open wounds, scars and not allow them to heal."
Last year the actor went through a bitter divorce battle with his ex-Michelle Ghent. Howard feels like some members of the black media treated him unfairly because he married an Asian woman.
"We have a crab mentality where we still pull each down because of choices that we make," Terrence said of African Americans. "Because I choose to marry an Asian woman, instead of a black woman. I think as black people we have to start helping each other and congratulating each other for being morally strong. If you don't have something nice to say, don't say nothing at all."
Do you agree with Terrence? Let us know what you think in the comment section below.

Once sworn enemies, Snoop Dogg and Suge Knight have set aside their differences and squashed their long running beef. Snoop sat down with Vlad TV recently to explain how the two were able to peacefully reunite.
"Two great minds that realized that going at each other wouldn't do nothing but leave 2 dead minds," Snoop explained. "As opposed to being smart enough to understand that our differences were never different. It was just a minor miscommunication. A lot of times men we have tendencies of a female because we don't know how to handle our business like men. We were man enough to have that conversation behind closed doors with just me and him. No camera, no bodyguards, no media."
Snoop was instrumental in helping to build Suge's Death Row Records into maybe the most powerful label of the 90's. The "Drop It Like It's Hot" rapper said that he and Suge have a lot of respect for each other.
"It was a love conversation," Snoop said, referring to his recent chat with Suge. "He loves me like I love him. I love everything he done for me as far as my music career. For believing in me and giving me a voice...being there for me. Just like he loves what I did for him. Building Death Row. Building his brand."
