Hailey Bieber wasn't scared to hold back her extremely scolding reaction to Justin Bieber's greatest pop star ranking.
Over the past couple of weeks, Billboard has slowly been revealing its picks for its 'Greatest Pop Stars of the 21st Century' list and it's sparked quite the frenzy from the singer's fans and Hailey alike.
The magazine ranked the 30-year-old 'Sorry' singer in the Top 10 but his wife is clearly far from happy with exactly where the GRAMMY Award-winner placed.

Last month (22 October), Billboard announced Justin as the eighth-greatest pop star of the 21st century on Instagram writing: "Justin Bieber is No. 8 on Billboard's list of the 25 Greatest Pop Stars of the 21st Century.
"The greatest teen-pop phenomenon of the early 2010s ultimately made the jump to true adult superstardom, blazing a new trail for young 21st century hitmakers in the process."
Billboard added that Biebs has now been a 'megastar for half his 30 years' adding that he's accounted for 'some of the best and biggest pop music (and one of the most impactful career paths) of the past 15 years in the process'.
Hailey, however, took no time to hit out over the decision.
The 27-year-old Rhode founder reportedly slammed: "Billboard is a f*cking joke as per usual!"
It appears as if her comment wasn't picked up too much at the time as fans are only now seeming to catch wind of it with many sharing their reactions on social media.
Some totally agreed with Hailey's sentiments with one fan writing: "He def in the top 3 if we’re talking about 21st century."
"Are you kidding me?" a second piped up. "This is crazy, JB deserved a top 3, I'm afraid of who you're going to put in front of him."
A third chimed in: "8?? He deserves number 1."
"Tell me another artist in 21st century that did something like the Bieber fever did," echoed a fourth.
Others, however, completely disagreed with one critic claiming: "She's mad that he's in the top 10….? I wont lie his impact back in the 2010’s was crazy but it faded..."
A second quipped: "His impact has been decreasing since 2017 so he's lucky to be in the top 10."
"Putting him at 8 was so generous! He’s a huge pop star but everyone above him definitely deserves to be above him!" added a final social media user.
So, who did come before and after him?
