Justin Bieber got a tattoo of Jesus Christ’s face on his calf, but the pop star says he’s not uber religious. “A lot of people who are religious, I think they get lost. They go to church just to go to church,” he says in a cover story for V magazine. “I’m not trying to disrespect them . . . but for me, I focus more on praying and talking to Him. I don’t have to go to church.”
Beiber, who says his father was a fighter, continues: “Now that I’m on top, everyone wants to bring me down . . . Everyone’s trying to tug at me and take my spot. Like Floyd Mayweather, he’s the best boxer in the world. Now he is a champion. Every time he goes to a fight now, people are like, ‘He’s going to lose this time.’ ” Bieber took a few punches last year, having been accused of fathering a child born to Mariah Yeater, who slapped him with a paternity suit in November. After Bieber vowed to take a DNA test and pursue a countersuit, Yeater withdrew her case.
