Will.i.am believes Justin Bieber will fall back on his parents when it all gets too much. The singer appears to be going though a hard time in the spotlight right now – he’s even being investigated for possibly assaulting his neighbor – but the ‘Black Eyed Peas’ star thinks Justin will be fine because he has a good mother to take care of him. He commented that it is hard for everyone growing up, be it in the spotlight or not, and that’s what parents are for:
”It’s dangerous to be a child star, but it’s dangerous to be a child in the ghetto, or to be a child at school being bullied. If you have good parents, you’ll be all right. Justin’s mom is great.”
Justin’s grandmother appears to be in agreement with Will.i.am and recently commented that she believes he has fallen in with some bad friends who are leading him astray because Justin really isn’t a bad boy in reality and these people are putting bad ideas into his head. She said that fame’s pressure can also be hard on him:
”I don’t think for one moment this is all about him being a bad boy. He’s only just turned 19 and he’s still learning to cope with the pressures of fame. But it’s worrying. You read all sorts of things about him … and he needs to understand some of those so-called friends probably don’t have his best interests at heart.”
