H&M Removes Justin Bieber's Unapproved Merchandise After Singer Called Them 'Trash'

H&M pulled off all the products related to Justin Bieber after the singer slammed them for releasing "unapproved" merchandise.

Bieber expressed his rage on Monday after seeing H&M's new clothing and products with his likeness. Among the published products included a sweater dress with a black and white picture of the singer and a clothing with the phrase "I miss you more than life" from his hit 2021 song, "Ghost."

With that, he urged his followers not to buy the "trash" items.

"I didn't approve any of the merch collection that they put up at H&M... all without my permission and approval," Bieber wrote. "SMH I wouldn't buy it if I were you."

In response to it, H&M pulled all the products from its website and stores as of Wednesday "out of respect for the collaboration and Justin Bieber." Forbes quoted the retailer's statement, confirming the removal of the items.

Previously, the clothing company told People that "as with all other licensed products and partnerships, H&M followed proper approval procedures."

Bieber has his own merchandise products that are up for sale on his website. He also has a hoodie that has the same colorway H&M promoted.

Justin Bieber Will Close a Deal Soon

After receiving the headache, Bieber might receive good news as he is reportedly close to reaching a $200 million deal.

The Wall Street Journal reported that the "STAY" hitmaker nears the whopping deal to sell his music rights to Hipgnosis Song Management, an investment entity of Blackstone Inc. Bloomberg further explained that details about the potential deal have not been publicized yet since the agreement has not still been signed.

Bieber could have one of the highest deals with Hipgnosis and Blackstone, joining Justin Timberlake, Leonard Cohen, and Kenny Chesney.

Christine McVie, who died earlier this year, also sold her song catalog to Hipgnosis in 2021. The deal gave the company 100 percent of her ownership in the catalog, including the neighboring rights and writer's share.

It remains unknown whether it will include all the music he made since he officially started his career in the music industry through his debut EP, "My World." Bieber has a total of 72 singles, 10 promotional singles, six studio albums, three compilation albums, three remix albums, and two EPs.

His discography includes "My World 2.0," "Under the Mistletoe," "Believe," "Purpose," "Changes," and "Justice."

He has sold an estimated 150 million records, making him one of the best-selling music artists in history.
