Pop star, Justin Bieber has been ordered to clean up his
mess by the mayor of the Gold Coast in Australia after the artiste spraypainted
the wall of a hotel during his "Believe" tour.
The abstract graffiti was painted in the tennis court area
of the QT Hotel on the Gold Coast, 80 km (50 miles) southeast of Brisbane, and
posted on Bieber's Instagram page, where it has attracted more than 545,000
"likes".
The images are of a one-eyed blob with teeth in bright pink,
various monsters in splashes of color, Pac-Man ghosts and a take on Spongebob
Squarepants with crosses as eyes.
According to a spokesman for Mayor Tom Tate who spoke with
Reuters, "this eyesore has no place in the city, if that's the example
Justin wants to set, it's really unfortunate. But at the end of the day it'll
get cleaned up, whether or not he decides to."
The mayor's office sent a "graffiti removal kit"
to Bieber at the hotel but the singer had already left for Sydney for his
concerts on Friday and Saturday.
The mayor also sent a tweet directly to Bieber saying
"Glad you had a great time on Australia's #goldcoast. Hope to see you back
soon to clean up your mess. Make me a #belieber".
He has yet to hear back from Bieber, who spray painted a
wall at a hotel in Rio de Janeiro earlier this month.
The local council has ordered the QT Hotel to paint over the
graffiti but the hotel defended the pop star's actions.
"The piece of artwork will be left for fans to
enjoy," it told Reuters in an email. "We believe it is a wonderful
addition to the colorful Gold Coast arts scene."
Melissa Victor, a publicist for Bieber at Universal Music
Group in New York, declined to comment.
