MEXICO CITY — Mexico’s president has denied a tweet by Justin Bieber saying the singer met with the president and his family before a show. It was the latest sour note in Bieber’s Latin American tour.
President Enrique Peña Nieto’s office put out a tweet late Monday that read “@Presidenciamx denies meeting between President @EPN with the singer @justinbieber.”
That was a response to a tweet from Bieber’s official account saying “just met some amazing mexican beliebers and the presidente of mexico and his familia.”
The 19-year-old pop sensation faces two criminal complaints and demands for refunds in Argentina, where he abandoned a concert after less than an hour and did not show up for a photo-op that some fans paid hundreds of dollars extra for. The singer’s manager, Scooter Braun, said Bieber had food poisoning and tried but couldn’t finish the show.
