News: Justin Bieber defends dungaree decision

Justin Bieber has defended his move to meet the Canadian Prime Minister in his overalls.

The 18-year-old star greeted politician Stephen Harper in the casual outfit choice on Friday in Ottawa and was subsequently labelled "white trash" by a journalist.

The teenage heartthrob hit back by explaining the circumstances surrounding his denim dungarees on Instagram.

"The pic of me and the Prime Minister was taken in a room in the arena where I was performing at that day (sic)," he wrote, according to Entertainment Tonight.

"I walked straight from my meet and greet to him. It wasn't like it was like I was going into his environment we were at a hockey arena. Wow am I ever white trash (sic)."

The Beauty and a Beat singer also took the opportunity to post a snap of the meeting on his Twitter account.
