Justin Bieber has revealed that One Direction slam was just poking fun and believes that everyone should support everyone in the music industry.
In an exclusive interview with Us Weekly, the 21-year-old pop star said that he thinks that this should be friendly competition, adding "I think it's fun to joke around."
Bieber said that he genuinely supported everyone that's making music and every young artist that's doing what they love and getting success from that.
Earlier, the 'Sorry' singer had made the 'directioners,' One Direction fans, angry after intimating to a radio station that the boy band purposely chose the same release date to increase their publicity.
