Well — you knew this was coming! After Justin Bieber lost the Best New Artist prize to jazz vocalist Esperanza Spalding at Sunday’s 2011 Grammy Awards, a legion of his furious fans attacked Spalding’s online biography.
The little-known bassist and singer was the surprise winner of the accolade, beating more established competitors Bieber, Drake, Florence and the Machine, and Mumford and Sons to walk away with the title. The Grammy upset sparked outrage among the teenage pop sensation’s devoted Beliebers, many of whom sought revenge on Spalding’s Wikipedia.com profile.
“JUSTIN BIEBER DESERVED IT GO DIE IN A HOLE. WHO THE HECK ARE YOU ANYWAY?” one furious fan wrote.
“SHE IS F**KING RETARD (sic) THAT NO ONE HAS HEARD OF SO B**CH PLEASE DIE!” another Bieber fanatic posted.
Wikipedia officials later removed the comments, but news of the vandalism had already spread across the internet.
