Justin Bieber has opened up about his mother’s drinking and drug use.

The 16-year-old spoke about Pattie Mallette during an interview with The Guardian.

“My mum wasn’t the greatest person. I mean, she was a good person, but she made mistakes, she drank, she probably did drugs and stuff, and she told me about it because she said she did enough bad stuff for the both of us.

“I don’t need to do it because she already did it. The fact is, she changed her life around because of me. When I was born she quit smoking, she quit drinking – she did that all for me.”

Very mature words coming from a 16-year-old mega-star. It’s nice to see Justin knows what he’s doing.
