Don’t worry, Justin, Rob Ford has your back. The beleaguered Toronto mayor has declared that people should be more forgiving of Justin, who was recently charged with assaulting a local limousine driver.
Ford said yesterday, during one of his regular appearances on the Washington DC radio programme Sports Junkies:
You know what, he's a young guy.
Think back to when you were 19... At 19 years old I wish I was successful as he was.
Despite Ford's envy for Justin's accomplishments, the notorious mayor said that he couldn't speak for the quality of Justin's art.
Honestly, I don’t even follow music, I'm 45 years old.
In fact, Ford and Justin are united by more than just their Canadian passports and mutual familiarity with Toronto law enforcers. One of Justin's Canadian lawyers, Seth Weinstein, also represents Ford's friend, the alleged drug dealer Alexander "Sandro" Lisi. "It happens to be that I’m involved in both [cases], but I don’t think you can read anything else into it," Weinstein told the Globe and Mail. While Bieber was "booked and processed" for a 30 December attack on his limousine driver, Lisi has been charged with extortion in connection with the mayor's infamous crack video said:
I think [Justin's] a remarkable talent. But beyond that, I’m not intimately familiar with his work.
Weinstein or another attorney from his firm, Greenspan Humphrey Lavine, is expected to appear on Justin's behalf at his next Toronto hearing, on 10 March.
Welcome to the team Mayor. It´s good to know that Justin still has support from other members of the society apart from Beliebers.
