Justin Bieber impersonator performs 10 songs in Vegas before staff realise he’s fake

Only in Vegas could this happen


At the weekend, a Justin Bieber impersonator managed to blag his way into XS Nightclub at the Wynn Las Vegas and convinced staff he was literally the real Bieber. Not only that, but he even got on stage and performed 10 songs before anyone clocked he was a fraud.

The wannabe-Biebs showed up with an “advance team” (because of course he did) and staged a whole ruse that had security and staff convinced they were dealing with actual pop royalty.

DJ Gryffin, who was performing that night, fell for it too — and even brought “Justin” up to the stage, documenting the whole thing on Instagram. Imagine thinking you’ve just pulled off the collab of the year, only for it to be some random bloke in a dodgy hoodie.

The club has since confirmed the whole thing was fake, telling TMZ: “After an elaborate and multi-step ruse by him and his advance team, a Justin Bieber impersonator was granted access to the XS stage. As soon as the error was recognised, he was removed from the resort and denied future entry.”

Before being kicked out, the imposter also allegedly racked up a $10,000 bar tab — which is either outrageous or iconic, depending on how you look at it.

This isn’t even the first time a fake Bieber’s caused chaos. Back in 2017, one impersonator was jailed after using the singer’s identity to commit actual crimes, grooming teenagers and luring schoolgirls into sending indecent images.

So, lesson learned: just because someone looks vaguely like Bieber and has a hype squad, maybe don’t hand them a microphone in front of a packed Vegas crowd.
