Bieber: 'Patrick Carney should be slapped around'

Justin Bieber 16

Justin Bieber has offered a cheeky riposte to Patrick Carney after the The Black Keys drummer brushed off a question about the Canadian pop star's Grammy Awards snub.

After Sunday night's (February 10) awards gala, a reporter for TMZ asked the rocker for his thoughts on why Bieber failed to secure a nomination this year. "He's rich, right?" Carney, whose band picked up three Grammys this year, replied. "Grammys are for like music, not for money... and he's making a lot of money. He should be happy."

"The Black Keys drummer should be slapped around haha," the 18-year-old tweeted in response on Tuesday (February 12).

Despite the Grammy shut out, Bieber is having a busy week. His album Believe Acoustic debuted at number one on the Billboard 200 album chart, he pulled double duty as the host and musical guest on late-night sketch comedy show Saturday Night Live, and teased a new song called "You Want Me" in a video message to fans.
