Justin Bieber fans slam 'ridiculous' prices the singer's charging for his 'basic' new clothing brand
Justin Bieber 's fans have been left outraged by the 'ridiculous' prices he's charging for his new clothing line, SKYLRK — which features a $200 pair of sunglasses. The singer, 31, launched the highly-anticipated brand on Thursday after over a year of teasing his streetwear designs on social media. SKYLRK is Justin's latest foray into fashion after he severed ties with his old brand Drew House, which he co-founded in 2018 with ex-friend Ryan Good, back in April. Thursday's first unisex drop included essential basics like oversized hoodies and tank tops as well as beanies, slide sandals and sunglasses. But as eager fans ventured to the SKYLRK website, many were left stunned and disappointed by the 'expensive' collection. The site is currently selling the 'Zip Hoodie' for $160, the 'Beanie' for $40, the 'Women's Tank' for $60, the 'Men's Tank' for a currently unspecified price, the 'Chunky Mule' shoes for $180, the 'Beach Slide' sandals for $80 and the controversial 'Upside Down' sunglasses for $200. Potential customers flooded the SKYLRK Instagram page with comments slamming Bieber for not considering what 'regular, working people' can afford. 'Price is ridiculous for a plain style, not worth it,' one fan penned. Another added: 'Bieber I love you but the price' 'Why is everything soooo expensive?? more than half of us can't even buy this stuff. Create a brand that is affordable and universal for everyone,' a different fan wrote. They also criticized the suspected 'quality' of the 'overpriced' clothing, with some wildly speculating that Justin is attempting to upsell items originally made in China. 'This stuff probably costs $5 to make and he's making $175 on these shoes,' one commenter speculated. Some fans went as far as to take aim at Justin's reported financial troubles, with one commenting: 'Prices are crazy. We know you're broke but damn!?!' Others began comparing the SKYLRK prices to the prices of Drew House as well as other celebrity clothing lines like Kim Kardashian's SKIMS. Several fans claimed that Drew House was 'less expensive' than SKYLRK, with ABC News previously reporting that prices for the brand ranged from $48 - $148. However, many fans came to Justin's defense as they suggested that SKYLRK is meant to be a 'HIGH FASHION steer wear brand' not an 'affordable' line. 'This is not merch . If you are concerned about the pricing it's not for you' Justin has yet to comment publicly on the SKYLRK backlash. The 'Upside Down' sunglasses are on sale for $200 The slipper-like 'Chunky Mule' shoes retail for $180 The ill-received launch comes days after Justin was brutally roasted for modeling pieces from his fashion line. The star snapped selfies in a mirror inside wife Hailey's walk-in wardrobe at their Beverly Hills mansion. A smiling Bieber flashed his neck tattoo as he flaunted the cobalt blue ensemble in front of five racks of what appears to be Hailey's designer clothes collection. Justin finished his look with a pair of fluffy high socks as he admired himself in front of an LED full-length mirror—cluttered behind a dozen boxes of women's high heel shoes and overflowing jewelry boxes. He completed his ensemble with a pair of matching blue sliders, which he also wore out and about in Hollywood on Friday to visit a spa. The post, which is tagged with @skylrk and a heart-hands emoji quickly drew ire from his enormous fanbase of 294million on Instagram. Bieber has been teasing SKYLRK since December 2023. Justin has been frequently sharing updates on the progress of his brand on social media, using his 294million followers as a test market for mock-ups and samples. The 'Beanie' retails for $40 Potential customers flooded the SKYLRK Instagram page with comments slamming Bieber for not considering what 'regular, working people' can afford The singer and his wife Hailey both wore the brand to Coachella earlier this year. At one point, the star teased that he was planning to release a SKYLRK phone case that looked near-identical to Hailey's famous Rhode cases, which feature a holder on the back for the makeup line's best-selling lip glosses. But instead of holding lip gloss, Justin showed that his version of the case was made to be used to store marijuana blunts. However, the item was notably absent from Thursday's launch. In April, Justin publicly cut ties with his first streetwear brand Drew House and even encouraged his fans to no longer support the line. 'I Justin Bieber am no longer involved in this brand. Drew House doesn't represent me or my family or life,' the star posted to Instagram. 'If your (sic) rocking with me the human Justin Bieber don't waste ur money on Drew House.' Days prior to his post, the star signaled that his relationship with Drew House was over when he posted an animated video of himself setting a house filled with Drew House-branded items ablaze. A source closely connected to Drew House and its employees told PEOPLE at the time: 'The SKYLRK announcement was a slap in the face to all the people who had been working hard on the next Drew House release.' The SKYLRK's release came hours before Justin surprised fans by releasing his long-awaited seventh studio album. Bieber's new LP Swag dropped at midnight ET/9 p.m. PT following the launch earlier in the day of billboards around the world and a rush of social media posts. The star left fans plenty to chew on with newly released songs featuring cryptic lyrics, including Walking Away, which seems to allude to his reported marriage problems with his wife Hailey Bieber, 28. One track, Therapy Session, was nothing but a skit between Bieber and the actor and comedian Druski in which they appeared to defend his mental health and recent bizarre social media meltdowns against fans claiming that 'he's f***in' losin' his mind.' Justin released the album, which features 21 songs, four years after his previous album Justice dropped to mixed reviews but solid sales. Swag features guest vocals from Gunna and Cash Cobain, as well as a particularly raunchy verse from the rapper Sexyy Red that left fans blushing and begging for a sweeter version without her. As Bieber quickly publicized the album, he and his wife Hailey shared numerous moody photographs of the two and their 10-month-old son Jack Blues that appeared to have been shot for the album. The singer launched multiple billboards around the globe on Thursday that appeared to promote the album, with images spotted in New York, Los Angeles, Atlanta and Reykjavík, Iceland. Some of the promotional images included what looked like a track listing for the LP, though it wasn't certain if they reflected the final track order. The apparent song titles for Swag include All I Can Take, Daisies, Yukon, Go Baby, Things You Do, Butterflies, Way It Is, First Place, Soulful, Walking Away, Glory Voice Memo, Devotion, Dadz Love, Therapy Session, Sweet Spot, 405, Swag, Zuma House, Too Long and Forgiveness. One song title that was notably missing from the billboard track listings was number 16, Standing On Business. It's not a full-fledged song, but rather another skit between Bieber and Druski that features audio from a confrontation the singer had with paparazzi last month in which he uttered the viral phrase, 'It's not clocking to you that I'm standing on business, is it?' Swag is the highly-anticipated follow-up to Justin's last album Justice, which was released in 2021. The album garnered critical acclaim and spawned successful commercial tracks such as Peaches, a Billboard Hot 200 chart-topper; and the top 10 hits Holy, Anyone and Ghost. A lot has changed in Justin's personal life since 2021 including welcoming a child with wife Hailey. In February 2023, Bieber officially canceled the remainder of his Justice World Tour after the singer said he was diagnosed with the condition Ramsay Hunt syndrome, which can lead to facial paralysis. Bieber had previously had to cancel shows on the tour in the fall of 2022, explaining his absences from the stage in an emotional post on his Instagram Stories. 'Earlier this year, I went public with my battle with Ramsay-Hunt Syndrome, where my face was partially paralyzed,' he said. 'As a result of this illness, I was not able to complete the North American leg of the Justice Tour. He also split from longtime manager Scooter Braun in 2023. Back in January 2023, he sold his entire music catalog - featuring songs from his entire 15 year recording career - for a whopping $200million. His music was to Blackstone-backed Hipgnosis Songs Capital for over $200million the company announced at the time. The star is worth an estimated $300million and has sold 150million records worldwide, making him one of the most successful recording artists in history. Hailey showed support for Swag on Thursday while also hitting out at 'losers' who've speculated about their marriage over the last several months. The Rhode founder re-posted a photo of Justin's massive Swag billboard in NYC 's Times Square to her Instagram Story with the caption: 'Is it finally clocking to you f***ing losers?' She appeared to suggest that Justin's recent bizarre behavior wasn't the result of any marriage troubles but due to him being hard at work on his long-awaited music, which he partially recorded in Iceland back in April.

Diddy's twin girls Jessie & D'Lila, 18, make major career announcement after verdict in music mogul dad's sex crime case
SEAN "Diddy" Combs' twin girls Jessie and D'Lila have released a clothing line just days after their father was convicted. Their music mogul father, 55, was acquitted of the most serious charges of racketeering and sex trafficking this week after a weeks-long trial in Manhattan, New York. 9 9 9 9 But he was found guilty of two counts of transportation to engage in prostitution and remains behind bars ahead of his sentencing hearing. His family are now trying to move on with their lives as Combs faces sentencing which could leave him imprisoned for years. Twin 18-year-olds Jessie and D'Lila have now announced the launch of their clothing line - with the bizarre name 12Twinty1 - in a post to Instagram. They said: "We've been waiting our entire lives for this moment - and it's surreal to finally share it with you. "This isn't just a brand. It's our story. Our bond. Our roots. "@12twinty1 was created with purpose, built from who we are, not just what we wear. "The name reflects our birthday, December 21st, but it means so much more: "[The number] One is bold, fearless, and marks the beginning of something powerful. "[The number] Two speaks to love, connection, and harmony, the essence of our twinhood. "We've spent so much time pouring our hearts into creating a brand that speaks to everyone. "It's more than fashion, it's about identity, confidence, and being seen. Diddy is found GUILTY of prostitution but cleared of most serious charge "This is just the beginning. "Stay tuned. We cannot wait to grow this with you." The pair have a whopping 780,000 followers on Instagram and the post has quickly racked up tens of thousands of likes. But they have not shared any pictures or drawings of their clothes yet. 9 Their father Combs had his own clothing line called Sean John, which is still owned by the disgraced rapper. But he won't be making too many sales from the brand anytime soon after he was found guilty of two counts of transportation for purposes of prostitution. Each charge has a maximum sentence of 10 years in prison, but they have no minimum punishment. That potential sentencing could have been a lot longer if he had been convicted of racketeering conspiracy and sex trafficking. Combs and his family appeared elated at the news, and the rapper said "I'll be home soon" to his mom as he walked out of the courthouse. However, legal experts have warned that he shouldn't celebrate too soon, as they speculate that the rapper will likely have to spend some time behind bars. BUSINESS EMPIRE The star was running multiple businesses before his scandal, including Revolt TV, which he founded, and his fashion brand Sean John, which vanished from Macy's. Combs also reportedly lost a Hulu reality series deal. However, his music catalog remains intact for the time being. Combs kept his label Bad Boy Records relevant before he was arrested and backed the likes of Machine Gun Kelly's 'Mainstream Sellout' in 2022. 9 9 In 2023, he also dropped The Love Album: Off the Grid, his first solo album in nearly two decades. The same year, singer Janelle Monae also released her celebrated record The Age of Pleasure through Bad Boy. Asked if he thinks he could build his empire back up, Faddis said, "It's not unheard of in America for folks who have, you know, been formerly disgraced to kind of make a comeback. "I think he's going to try [but] whether America has the stomach for that at this point is an open question. "I think, legally speaking, it is certainly a victory for Diddy, but I think we [have] to be careful, because there are a lot of sensitive issues at play here, just because the jury found that he was not guilty. That's not the same as finding that he was innocent. "What the jury found was that the Government couldn't meet its burden with respect to those charges. That's not the same as saying those things didn't happen." Combs was previously forced to apologize to fans after previously denying physically assaulting ex Ventura when CNN published an exclusive hotel surveillance video from 2016. The footage showed Combs appearing to grab, shove, drag, and kick the singer in a hotel hallway. 'My behavior on that video is inexcusable. I take full responsibility for my actions in that video,' he said in a video statement posted on Instagram. 'I was disgusted then when I did it. I'm disgusted now,' he added. 'I went and I sought out professional help. I got into going to therapy, going to rehab. I had to ask God for his mercy and grace. I'm so sorry. But I'm committed to be a better man each and every day. I'm not asking for forgiveness. I'm truly sorry.' Combs fell to his knees on Wednesday when the verdict was read out in a Manhattan courtroom, and he was acquitted of the most serious charges in his criminal case. The U.S. Sun obtained a letter from the prosecution sent to Judge Arun Subramanian regarding the star's sentence for two counts of engaging in prostitution, which is yet to be decided. They say the guideline sentence for him is just 51 to 63 months [five and a half years maximum], and he has already been behind bars for nine months. It reads, "The Government notes, however, that the Guidelines applicable at sentencing may be higher than this preliminary calculation. "The Government has not had adequate time to carefully consider all potentially applicable Guidelines provisions." 9
