The Canadian pop singer recently won the most popular music artist prize at the Social Star Awards in Singapore.
The event recognises social media popularity, creativity and prowess on Twitter, among other sites.
Justin Bieber's pet monkey, Mally, was in the news again last week, after being re-homed following his confiscation in Munich.
The 24-week old monkey is now German national property and is living in an animal shelter in Hodenhagen.
