Justin Bieber Reflects on Telling Usain Bolt During a Fight He’d ‘Never Be on the Cover of Vogue…
In a surprising and somewhat bizarre revelation, pop superstar Justin Bieber recently reflected on a heated exchange with Olympic sprint legend Usain Bolt, in which he allegedly told the athlete he would “never be on the cover of Vogue.” The comment, now seen as tongue-in-cheek and reflective of tensions at the time, has sparked curiosity and confusion across social media.
The exchange reportedly took place during a disagreement at a celebrity event several years ago. According to sources close to the two stars, the fight wasn’t physical but rather a clash of egos, fueled by miscommunication and high-profile stress. Bieber, known for his quick wit and sometimes impulsive remarks, later admitted that his comment was not only inappropriate but also irrelevant, considering Vogue primarily features figures from the fashion and entertainment industries.
Reflecting on the incident in a recent interview, Bieber said, “It was a dumb thing to say. Usain’s not trying to be a fashion icon—he’s the fastest man on the planet. My comment made no sense, and I said it to get under his skin. I was in a bad place mentally, and I let my pride talk for me.”
Usain Bolt has not publicly responded to Bieber’s recent comments, but those familiar with Bolt’s laid-back personality say he likely took it in stride. “Usain isn’t the type to hold grudges,” one insider noted. “He’s more likely to laugh it off and move on.”
While the Vogue comment has resurfaced and gained traction, many fans are viewing it through the lens of Bieber’s broader journey of personal growth. The Canadian singer has publicly acknowledged his struggles with fame, mental health, and the consequences of his actions in the past. His willingness to revisit these difficult moments appears to be part of a continued effort toward maturity and self-awareness.
Interestingly, the story parallels another recent episode involving Bieber and his wife, Hailey. In a now-infamous argument from their early marriage, Justin once told her she’d never land a Vogue cover—only to later eat his words when she appeared on the magazine’s front page. That incident, too, was followed by Bieber’s public apology and reflection on how words spoken in anger can have lasting impact.
In both cases—whether with a world-class athlete or a loved one—Bieber’s reflections serve as a reminder of how personal growth often involves confronting past mistakes, owning them, and choosing better words moving forward.
