Gryffin recalled, \u201cThe venue went wild and after 4 minutes and 27 seconds of what sounded like Justin Bieber, I found out the worst news imaginable.\u201d Gryffin was one of the last people to find out Bieber was a fake, and hilariously recounted the moment he found out. After the video showed him with a huge grin on his face walking out of the venue, saying, \u201cthat was actually insane,\u201d his face turned to pure shock when a friend delivered the news. The video was hilariously captioned simply, \u201cbiebergate2025.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The story quickly went viral, attracting playful responses from other DJs like <strong>Diplo<\/strong>, who commented, \u201cDamn, we should have stayed on that boat lol,\u201d while <strong>Zedd<\/strong> left a crying emoji.<\/p>\n<p>Other fans left comments like, \u201cEveryone at xs thought it was him me included,\u201d and \u201cman fully committed\u2026 gotta give him props.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Another joked. \u201cHad em all beliebin\u2019.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis is the greatest marketing ploy of all time.
