Justin Bieber Dangerously Mobbed By Fans Before Super Bowl 50 Parties With Hailey Baldwin & Pals
Being Justin Bieber isn’t easy. The pop prince was mobbed by fans and onlookers while walking around the San Francisco Bay area on the eve of Super Bowl 50.
The 21-year-old superstar is in town with friends, including model pal Hailey Baldwin, writer/producer Maejor Ali, and co-CEO of Shots, John Shahidi, to enjoy a round of Super Bowl parties.
Bieber is one of thousands who arrived in the Bay Area for the weekend. According to a Justin Bieber fan Twitter account, the heartthrob told random fans he met in the street that he had no plans to go to the game at the Levi’s Stadium in Santa Clara.
However, the Biebs did make it to two parties last night: Maxim Magazine’s bash, which the rappers Lil Tunechi and A$AP Rocky attended. The “Sorry” singer also swung by the New Era Cap soiree, which was held at The Battery.

Other names at that throwdown included Jay Z and wife Beyoncé. Future performed on stage, while EDM titan Diplo spun the decks [Scroll to the end of the page for videos and pics].

Unfortunately, while walking to these parties, Bieber was mobbed by hordes of fans and passers-by, who shoved phones in the singer’s face while demanding selfies or attention. Most screamed excitedly at the hitmaker as they cornered him like an animal, before some shared words of wisdom in later video posts such as “It’s lit,” “Wassup!” and “It’s Bieber baby!”
Most of the fan–obtained clips were compiled into a video by a Justin Bieber fan YouTube account. Watch the mayhem below.
Last September, the Biebs posted a Snapchat video, essentially asking fans to respect his space after he was mobbed at an Australian airport during a promotional trip for his latest album, Purpose.
Clearly, that memo didn’t make it to Super Bowl City.
After news of the mobbing spread, numerous Bieber fans took to Twitter to express their concern.
I felt bad for Justin Bieber they cornered him and surrounded him like an animal. It was hard to actually see in person.

The way they’re screaming at him you’d think he doesn’t know his own name or something https://t.co/1dw3f1pwb5

the worst part of this is most of the people that act like wild animals around him aren’t even fans and they ruin it for the actual fans

It’s like they think they can mob and corner him like an animal and then that he has no right to get annoyed & tell them to stop. So sad :/

Just watching videos of Justin getting mobbed gives me anxiety, can’t even begin to imagine how it must be for him.
