“Birds of a feather flock together.” This saying has proved to be true on countless occasions for young celebrities. And now it appears to be Justin Bieber’s turn.

The Biebs has been in the news more for his bad behavior than his music lately, and the company he’s been keeping isn’t helping his good boy image.

The singer’s current best bud, Rapper Lil Twist, is contributing to Bieber’s growing bad rap. The duo has been photographed allegedly puffing on a joint and popping bottles of champagne together.

But it’s not just the new hip hop artist who may be leading the Canadian singer down the wrong road. Justin has also been seen hanging out with none other than Chris Brown, who is best known for beating up Rihanna to a bloody pulp.And last but certainly not least, Bieber has most recently been bragging about his time spent with R. Kelly, who has been arrested for disorderly conduct, assault, and also for allegedly engaging in sex with, and urinating on, an underage girl. In recent months, JB has received some pretty negative media attention from a leaked photo of him allegedly holding a blunt, run-in’s with the law for speeding in his Ferrari, to the latest rumor of him cheating on Selena Gomez with 22-year-old model and nursing student Milyn Jenson.

Although it may be too early to tell which path Bieber is headed down for sure, let’s just hope he makes the right choice.
