In case you don’t remember, after being caught in a street race, Biebs was accused of driving without a license, driving while intoxicated and resisting arrest in Miami when he was 19.
Justin chose to mark this year’s birthday with an Instagram post of one of his handcuffed images. “Seven years ago, I was arrested, it was not my best time,” he began.
“I’m not proud of where I was in my life. I was hurt, unhappy, confused, angry, cheated, misunderstood and angry with God … I also wore too much leather for someone in Miami.”

Justin then became religious, continuing: “All of this [is] tell [that] God has brought me a long way. “
“My encouragement to you is to let your past be a reminder of how far God has brought you. Don’t let shame ruin yours today.”
