Justin Bieber DELETES his Instagram account after he hints ex Selena Gomez cheated on him with Zayn Malik
JUSTIN Bieber has sensationally quit social media after a string of heated messages between him and ex Selena Gomez.
During the fight, the pop star appeared to suggest that she had cheated on him during their relationship with ex One Direction star Zayn Malik.
Fans have taken to Twitter to celebrate the deletion with hashtag #justindeactivatedparty - just 48 hours after fans threatened to strike against the star in a media blackout.
The 22-year-old I'm Sorry singer had 77.8million followers on Instagram account before he made the choice to remove himself from the site.
One took the deletion personally and wrote: "I can't believe Justin hates us enough to deactivate his Instagram. I'm shook."
Others took offence to his decision and blamed the move on his new girlfriend Sofia Richie and said: "When Justin decides to pick a 17 year old girl over his beliebers... #JustinDeactivatedParty"
However, it is not yet known if Bieber has officially deleted his account, or if he has temporarily suspended it - as his username and profile picture are still visible.

It was a picture of Justin and Sofia posted onto the site that originally kicked off the drama.
The pair shared a series of snaps of them posing in the back of a car - leading some hardcore fans to slate the star's latest squeeze.
In one of a series of black and white pics of the couple, Justin Bieber wrote: “I’m gonna make my Instagram private if you guys don’t stop the hate this is getting out of hand, if you guys are really fans you wouldn’t be so mean to people that I like.”
Selena, 24, then stepped in to offer fans her support and said: "If you can’t handle the hate then stop posting pictures of your girlfriend lol -it should be special between you two only.
“Don’t be mad at your fans. The love you. They were there for you before anyone.”
Later Justin responded to Selena’s comment on his snap: “It’s funny to see people that used me for attention and still try to point the finger this way. Sad. All love.”
But Selena bit back with a cutting remark exposing indiscretions during their two year relationship.
She said: "Funny how the ones that cheated multiple times, are pointing the finger at the ones that were forgiving and supportive, no wonder fans are mad. Sad. All love."
This elicited the most shocking response yet: "I cheated... Oh I forgot about You and Zayn?"
