Poor, Ezperanza Spalding – I don’t know who she is either, but apparently she won “Best New Artist” at Sunday’s Grammys, despite Justin Bieber being the overwhelming favourite. This has sparked outrage amongst Bieber’s fans – or “Beliebers” as they are known – and they have called for her head.
After Bieber’s shock defeat a swathe of tweets came pouring in, essentially declaring a fatwa against Spalding. Some of the tweets read:
“Fuck @EspeSpalding. She stole Bieber’s Grammy.” (@RockCyrus)
“This is the crazy bitch who beat Bieber. Let’s kill her.” (@michellesimer).
“Dear Esperanza Spalding: Who the FUCK are you? Sincerely, the world.” (@iKissedTheBieb)
“Hey @EspeSpalding, how does it feel to know that about 7 million people want to shoot/stab/choke/drown you?” (@seanarox).
“Now here is the moment that I send my first death threat. @Espespalding I hope you die, you unknown whore. You mess with the Biebs, we mess with you.” (@BeliebInGagax)
According to Gawker an article then appeared on Wikipedia about Spalding declaring: “Justin Bieber deserved it. Go die in a hole. Who the hell are you, anyway?”
Thankfully Bieber has managed to calm the angry mob of pre-pubescent girls by declaring on Monday that: “Bieber fans don’t be too upset. Be happy.”
Thank you Justin for your cool head in this situation.
