If your wife won’t hop into the comments of a major music magazine to defend your honor, what’s the point of getting married? Hailey Bieber is beefing with Billboard over Justin Bieber’s placement on the magazine’s list of the greatest pop stars of the 21st century.

In the comments of Billboard’s post, the Rhode Beauty founder appears to have written (and since deleted), “Billboard is a fucking joke as per usual!” Now, top-ten placement is a great spot for Justin, who hasn’t put out a new album since 2021 and has mostly stayed out of the spotlight since. Above him on the list are superstars like Britney Spears, Lady Gaga, and Rihanna. Is Hailey arguing that her man is a better pop star than Lady Gaga? Sure seems like it, and that’s the kind of love that lasts.

Hailey is not the only one lodging complaints about the list. Earlier this week, the Weeknd posed a compelling question about the magazine’s choices:

Next time we do this list, maybe we should just poll famous people. They’ve clearly got a lot of thoughts on the matter.
