Did Justin Bieber take nude photos for his girlfriend, Selena Gomez?

On Thursday, a picture, allegedly of the singer, was leaked, and shows Bieber’s body from the neck down. Also visible is one of Beiber’s tattoos, a bird on his right pelvic bone.

Tuesday, Bieber had taken to Twitter after his personal laptop and camera were stolen from his tour manager’s office while he was in Washington State giving a performance in Tacoma Dome.

"Sucks when u take personal footage and people dont respect your privacy. yesterday during the show me and my tour manager josh had some stuff stolen. really sucks. people should respect other's property [sic],” Beiber wrote.

"I had a lot of personal footage on that computer and camera and that is what bothers me the most. #lame #norespect," he went on to say.

Was he implying that he had nude photos and preparing his fans in advance?

Meanwhile, according to E! Online, Justin Bieber’s fans, aptly called ‘Beliebers’ are defending the nude photo and saying it isn’t the singer. On Tumblr, Beliebers claimed that the picture in question could not be of Justin Beiber, because the bellybuttons and nipples are not the same. They also are saying the bird tattooed could have been photo shopped.

If the nude photo is in fact of the “Baby” singer, he certainly would not be the first young star to have naked pictures leaked online. Disney celebrity Vanessa Hudgens, Rihanna, and Chris Brown are among the list of people who have had nude photo scandals as well.

So far, Justin Bieber’s representatives have yet to make a comment about the picture.
