On Sunday night at the Billboard Music Awards multiple things were put out in the open, whether it be a messy Kid Rock stating that every performance was lip sung or Justin Bieber being booed off stage.

Chevy created an award at the BBMA’s called the Milestone award and awarded the Biebs. When Bieber got to the stage half the crowd booed him and half clapped as loud as possible.

Bieber took a moment to think before he spoke before he said these words: “I’m 19 years old. I think I’m doing a pretty good job. Basically from my heart I really just want to say it really should be about the music. It should be about the craft that I’m making. This is not a gimmick, and I’m an artist, and I should be taken seriously.”

He thanked his Beliebers and his family/friends like he always does and walked off stage. It was clear that Bieber was upset by the fiasco. It takes guts to get onstage in an arena full of people who are going against you and to be the bigger person and not offend anyone was admirable.

Would you be able to handle the hate?…
