Justin Bieber has made it clear that he's a Floyd Mayweather fan, but when he Instagrammed two Photoshopped images poking fun at Manny Pacquiao, some of his followers thought he went too far.
Bieber posted an image of Pacquiao lying face down on the canvas -- after Juan Manuel Marquez knocked him out earlier this month -- with an image of Simba from "The Lion King" reaching for him. Bieber captioned the photo "Dad wake up," referencing the scene from the movie when Simba found his father dead.
The other image shows Pacquiao leaning against the ropes, with an image of Michael Jackson in a similar pose. Bieber wrote: "Pacquiao doing the lean with MJ .. Classic moment."
Some members of the Philippines Congress weren't amused and threatened to make Bieber a “persona non grata” unless he apologized.
Seven legislators issued a statement, which read, in part:
"Mr. Bieber should have known that the Hon. Pacquiao has reached his stature as such as a result of sheer hard work, determination and firm belief in God, and despite such stature best exemplifies humility and grace even in defeat."
