Is it too late now for the fake Justin Bieber<\/a> to say sorry? On Saturday, August 16, a Biebs impersonator tricked both the staff at a Las Vegas nightclub and the DJ, Gryffin, into letting him perform onstage and rack up a $10,000 bar tab, per the New York Post<\/a>. Sounds like an expensive dupe.<\/p>\n Gryffin, who was actually booked to perform at Wynn Las Vegas\u2019s XS Nightclub, posted a video<\/a> explaining how it all went down. According to the DJ, the fake, shirtless Biebs \u2014 who he called Bustin Jieber \u2014 showed up to XS, where his \u201cteam\u201d told Gryffin that he wanted to perform Bieber\u2019s 2015 hit \u201cSorry.\u201d (That should\u2019ve been the first red flag, since the singer recently dropped an album of new songs.) \u201cDark venue and loud music didn\u2019t help here,\u201d Gryffin wrote. In the video, the DJ revealed that he had originally been suspicious of the look-alike. \u201cI kinda thought, like, Damn, he put on a lot of weight since the album dropped,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n\n Now, you might be thinking, How did this guy get away with this? Apparently, the crowd was not full of Beliebers who grew up fantasizing about being the next \u201cOne Less Lonely Girl.\u201d \u201cEveryone at xs thought it was him, me included,\u201d one commenter wrote on Gryffin\u2019s post. \u201cDude that\u2019s wild, at first when I saw [the] vids I thought it was him until I went to the comments,\u201d another said.<\/p>\n As it turns out, the imposter\u2019s name is Dylan Desclos, and he does this whole fake Bieber<\/a> thing for a living. I hope he had fun during his fleeting moments onstage because he\u2019s now been banned from Wynn and XS Nightclub for life. A representative for the properties told TMZ<\/a> that \u201can elaborate and multi-step ruse\u201d allowed the Bieber wannabe to take the stage and that \u201cas soon as the error was recognized, he was removed from the resort and denied future entry.\u201d If all those club rats were fooled this easily, then I think AI bunnies<\/a> are the least of our worries.<\/p>\n Stay in touch.<\/p>\n Get the Cut newsletter delivered daily<\/p>\n Vox Media, LLC Terms and Privacy Notice<\/p>\n
