Justin Bieber Skips Grammys for Dinner at Asian Restaurant
Justin Bieber prefers egg rolls to red carpets.
The “Sorry” singer, who was up for four awards at last night’s Grammys, skipped the festivities for some Asian food. While Adele, Beyoncé, and Chance the Rapper were racking up trophies, the Biebs posted an Instagram Story of some chopsticks and dipping sauce.

It kind of makes us sad, but the Biebs, who was in L.A. leading up to the Grammys because he attended his pal Poo Bear’s pre-show bash, seemed content as he dined in a yellow hoodie and his favorite geek chic specs instead of partaking in the music industry’s biggest night.

It’s possible Justin didn’t want to run into his ex Selena Gomez and her new man, the “whack” Weeknd, at any parties. TMZ reported in January, however, that Bieber wasn’t going to attend because “he just doesn’t think the Grammys are relevant or representative, especially when it comes to young singers.”
For the record, Bieber didn’t win any awards in the categories he was nominated in: Song of the Year and Best Pop Solo Performance for “Love Yourself,” and Best Pop Vocal Album and Album of the Year for Purpose. (We’re sure the Recording Academy was well aware of his thoughts about the awards being irrelevant.)
It seems that the Biebs, who heads to Latin America Wednesday for his Purpose tour, is just not that into awards shows these days. You may remember last year after the Billboard Awards that he took to Instagram to call such shows disingenuous.
“No disrespect to anybody at any of the shows or the people running it … but I don’t feel good when I’m there nor after,” he wrote in a lengthy post. “I try to think of it as a celebration but can’t help feeling like people are rating and grading my performance. A lot of people in the audience there to be seem worried about how much camera time they will get or who they can network with. When I’m doing a regular show I feel they are there for the right reasons and to strictly have a good time! But these award shows seem so hollow. I get the premise is to award people for their accomplishments, but is it really? Because when I look in the audience I see a bunch of fake smiles so that when the camera hits them they look happy.”
Luckily, he has no beef with shirtless selfies or Asian cuisine ’cause those would be true tragedies.
