Teen sensation Justin Bieber lived in poverty

Justin Bieber has revealed that he grew up “below the poverty line”. The star — who has sold more than two million albums — and his single mom Pattie Mallette were surviving on hand-outs from their local church and was forced to BUSK just so he could take his mother on holiday.

“I grew up below the poverty line,” Justin said. “It made me stronger.

“I sang but it was just for fun. I never took it seriously. I was really focused on sports.”

Bieber, 16, recently revealed that he wants to take on “all three” Jonas Brothers.

“I could take ‘em!” he said earlier this week. “I could probably take all three. I have a good punch so I could take them all out!”
