The latest surprise development in a “feud” between Justin Bieber and Marilyn Manson went down last Saturday when Bieber posted a selfie of the two out in LA on Saturday night.
The two have been at the centre of a social-media fuelled battle for the best part of a year, which started when pics surfaced of Bieber sporting a Manson t-shirt at a Hillsong Church event in July 2015. The Prince of Darkness responded with two tweets at the time, making his disgust at the whole incident pretty evident.

Biebs clearly wasn’t phased, and so decided to wear another Manson tee in a short Instagram video. Manson then re-posted and inappropriately re-captioned the video for his own followers.

Just when you thought the fire had fizzled out, Bieber performed in Vancouver on March 11 wearing a sleeveless shirt with a picture of Manson on its front. The shirt also had a customized message on the back that said ‘Bigger than satan’, yet another a clear dig at Manson.
Manson responded less than a day later with this an Instagram post of his own, sporting a Justin Bieber shirt captioned with ‘Bigger than Bieber’.

So it was all the more shocking to see Bieber post a selfie of the two on his account just hours ago, leaving Beleibers and Manson fans everywhere not knowing if this latest post is just an excuse to keep the saga going, or if they should be expecting the weirdest song collaboration ever from the latest unlikely celebrity besties.
