This unisex clothing line is owned by Justin Bieber and his longtime friend Ryan Good and consists of several clothing items including hoodies, t-shirts, pants, and shorts.

This is what we call true-born talent!

Luckily Braun got him before that and the ‘Love Yourself’ singer had a faster route to fame!

This makes the only soloist ever to have four singles in the Billboard Top 40 even before debuting.

However, before ditching these young JB’s iconic hairstyles, he gave a flock of his hair to talk show host and TV personality Ellen DeGeneres. The intention was to auction it off and give the fund to charity. The hair was indeed auctioned and the fund was given to an animal rights group called “Gentle Barn Foundation.” the more surprising fact? That flock of hair generated a whopping $40,668 once it was sold on eBay.

Both the pop stars went into a full-on battle after hearing Justin’s vocals for the first time. At first had turned down the chance to even hear Justin sing, but the singer came around. In an interview with MTV Bieber recalled, “He actually watched my videos and was like, ‘Man, I should have let this kid sing,’ and he flew me back to Atlanta. I got to sing for him, and then a week later, I had a meeting with Justin Timberlake. They both kind of wanted me.” Eventually, the Rivals singer won the battle of label bidding and signed the young Biebs to Island/Def Jam records. Now we have Usher to thank for allowing the world to listen to the great vocal artist that Bieber is!
