During an interview for The Howard Stern Show, Manson allowed Stern to read a text message exchange between him and Justin Bieber about the two performers' T-shirt drama.
For context, here's a rundown of what happened: Bieber featured an image of Manson on a T-shirt that was part of his Purpose World Tour merchandise. The T-shirt featured Manson's face on the front, as well as Bieber's name and the words "Bigger than God" on the back.
Designer Jerry Lorenzo posted a picture of Bieber standing in front of the tour merchandise on Instagram back in July 2016 and thanked Manson for "signing off" on the shirt in the caption.
"Honestly, I totally thought we hit it off," Stern said reading one of Bieber's texts. "Again, my bad. If I was an a--hole, that wasn't my intention. Just want you to know that."
"We are cool," Stern said reading Manson's text. "People just made that shirt stuff into a fake feud. Let's turn it upside down and f--k the press and do something together. It will be the best. And don't apologize. You weren't an a--hole. They asked if you were and I sort of agreed. I wasn't out to get you. If not, I'll try to avoid more questions today on Stern."
When Stern later asked Manson whether he was actually calling Bieber an a--hole in that moment, Manson responded, "It's up for him to decide. I don't know."
Still, things seemed to end on a somewhat amicable note.
"I didn't really care about the media," Stern said reading another text from Bieber. "I just wanted to make sure you and I were good 'cause I like you."
Manson also agreed not to "s--t talk" Bieber on Stern's show, to which Stern said Bieber replied,
"Well, thanks. LOL"
"He sassed me and he apologized, and I said I wouldn't s--t talk him, so I'm not going to s--t talk him," Manson told Stern.
What a drama!!
