A Justin Bieber Impersonator Pulls Off a Clever Prank in Las Vegas
A man who looked and sounded just like Justin Bieber managed to pull off an impressive impersonation at a popular nightclub in Las Vegas, tricking both the DJ and hotel staff into thinking he was the real pop star. The incident took place at XS Nightclub in Nevada over the weekend, where the impersonator successfully convinced everyone involved that he was the actual singer.
The story of the event was shared by DJ Gryffin, who was booked for the night at the venue. In an Instagram post, he described how he was initially convinced that the man was the real Justin Bieber after seeing hotel staff allow him into the exclusive booth. Once inside, the impersonator’s "team" approached Gryffin and told him that Bieber wanted to do a surprise performance.
Gryffin, who was clearly impressed, agreed to let the man take the stage. He performed one of Bieber's most popular songs, "Sorry," and the crowd loved it. However, the illusion was short-lived. After exactly 4 minutes and 27 seconds, the truth came out — the performer was not actually Justin Bieber.
In the aftermath, Gryffin admitted that he had some doubts during the performance. He joked, "I literally thought I kinda thought like 'Damn, he like put on a lot of weight since the album dropped.'" His comment highlights how convincing the impersonator was, even to someone who is familiar with the artist.
Fans were quick to react to the story on social media, with many expressing their amazement at how well the stunt worked. One person wrote, "Oh my GOD this is actually amazing hahahaha." Another added, "Is it too late now to say sorry?" Meanwhile, fellow DJ Diplo humorously commented, "damn we should have stayed on that boat lol."
The incident has sparked a lot of discussion about the lengths to which impersonators can go to mimic their targets. While the man was able to fool the DJ and the club staff, he was eventually discovered and removed from the premises. According to a statement from Wynn and XS Nightclub, the impersonator had gone through an elaborate ruse involving an advance team. As soon as the mistake was realized, he was taken out of the resort and banned from future entry.
This event serves as a reminder of how difficult it can be to distinguish between a real celebrity and a skilled impersonator, especially when they are backed by a well-organized team. It also raises questions about the security measures in place at high-profile venues and whether more checks could be implemented to prevent such incidents in the future.
For fans of Justin Bieber, the story is both amusing and a bit disappointing, as it highlights the anticipation surrounding his return to the stage. With the release of his latest album, SWAG, many are eager to see him perform live again. However, this particular night in Las Vegas turned out to be a memorable one — albeit not for the reasons fans had hoped.
