0:00 [Music] So basically there's like a timu Justin Bieber that performed in Vegas. >> I heard with Griffin. That's right. >> Yeah. >> And it's a good racket. >> I'll just do no audio. Okay. So right here, Griffin is the DJ. He's performing. I think it's at EXS. Stop. >> I love Access Hollywood. They they do the best coverage. sucks, dude. >> Uh, let me just go to >> Did he sound like Bieber? >> I think the song just played and then he like lip sync. >> He looked like him, though. >> He looked like him. >> He looked like aing 40-year-old cracked out version from the video I saw. >> I did see Justin Bieber one time in concert. He came out to the the Kendrick
0:50 concert with >> Siza >> and I didn't realize who it was and I was like, who the is this guy? >> No. Well, it was just we were just so far away. Um, and then we realized someone's like, "It's Justin Bieber." And this ████ sounds so good live, bro. He's amazing. And apparently he was like fentied out. He was like kind of like, "Oh s███." >> Well, that was like the rumor, you know. >> But he's still good. >> Wow. He killed. >> Wow. >> Yep. That's me. >> Griffin the DJ right here. >> I ended up in this situation. >> I won't play. >> Busting Jber. That's what they're calling. >> So yeah, he was told he was told he's going to perform his Dark Venue. And you know if a celebrity shows up and gives him a ████ USB like stick to just be like, "Hey, Justin's here. Like you down to have him come out." Gave him an actual thing. And then he comes out and the thing is he looks like him. Shades on. He's got like very very similar if
1:40 not matching tattoos. >> Yeah. >> And then he for real just does it. Griffin thinks the whole thing is actually real. He goes off and then finally finds out that that was a fake Justin Bieber. >> So who got who got him? No idea. >> They just got him. >> Yeah. >> The fake uh what was his name? Bustin Bustin Jber >> they're calling it Biebergate 2025. >> So did they make like a video like a prank video like it was meant to be that way or >> that's actually probably what it what it was. >> I don't know. But now he's banned from that resort and he's facing a $10,000 bill. Apparently he also racked up like an entire like table thing and didn't pay it too >> and he just put it on my beaver bill. >> Yeah, something like that. >> Can't be thrown in jail for like impersonation or something. Well, Vegas has a lot of cool impersonators, though. >> Yeah, >> the Michael Jackson one's one of my favorite. >> It says, "After an elaborate uh and
2:31 multi-step ruse by him and his advanced team, a Justin Bieber impersonator was granted access to the excess stage. Wind spokesman Michael Weaver said in a statement, "As soon as the arrow was recognized, he was removed from the resort and denied future entry. Future in this instance means forever." But like, that's >> dude, that's hilar I think that's hilarious. That's so funny. >> I think that's great. Like it's it's it's it s████ on the the ████ uh VIP liaison of these clubs so hard cuz those guys are supposed to know their ████ You know what I mean? Like there's a lot those a lot of those guys they get paid pretty well to make that mistake. That's what you get. >> Dude, we've got Justin Bieber in the house. Everybody's screaming. This guy gets on stage with a microphone. >> There's several levels to get past before you're on stage doing that. To think all of them got duped is really funny. Honestly, Bustin Jber, he's just
3:21 confident, dude. You see this guy? >> But it's not just him. He's got like a team. It's like a a ruse. Like >> I heard everyone got fired. No, everyone that got approved, that whole thing, the whole chain, the whole chain. >> They should get fired because that's absolutely like embarrassing. Like that's it's one of those things where like it's also weird because usually for for these nightclubs, you know how it works. It's like nobody from your let's say that a fake Justin Bieber comes up with his team. the there's no way that the liaison don't know his team already. >> There's always someone you already know. There the connections are always so close. There has to be like at least like two to three mutuals among like >> been to XS. >> Yeah. And he's also I think even performed during Griffin's past set. So it's like there's a there's already like it would there's no way a whole team would be all strangers to the VIP uh host. >> You know what I mean? That's just very uncommon.
4:11 >> Is it excess? >> Yeah, exactly. Griffin said, "No way. I literally thought he put on a lot of weight since the album dropped." >> You think everyone was just on drugs and like >> I think they're pretty lit. They're too >> Well, they just said and the venue is really really dark. And so if you're like in the middle of your thing and then somebody goes up to you like, "Hey, Justin Bieber is here. You want him to perform?" >> You're going to be like, "All right, let's go. >> This is a win." Like why why would >> you want it to be real? >> I expect stuff like that. You've seen stuff like that. But I think Bieber has performed with Griffin before. >> Yeah. >> But he just didn't recognize him. >> That's funny. >> Yeah. He said he fell for that because his team wanted him get So it's like this is like a elaborate ruse to get all the way and excess is like a prestigious like nightclub on the strip. Like >> what do you think the actual thing was?
5:01 Is it just to get free table service and then walk away and be like yeah we got drinks? >> I think the thing is this us talking about it. the fact that like like this was such a huge artist. He just dropped an album. >> So, but so you you think Bustin Jber is using this to get famous? Like what was his motive to >> I think if you're if you're impersonator is an impersonator >> then you just went to the like furthest version you could do. >> That's pretty good. That's actually really really impressive. Yeah. Otherwise, what you're on third street prominade or on Fremont Street just with a tin cup out there asking for money. Like there's no way these guys weren't laughing their asses off afterwards. >> That's hilarious. >> He's going to get some gigs off of this for sure. Yeah, they they think they deserve it because like like I was saying, it's hard to dupe that many people in a row because they're they know usually camps know the camps better
5:52 than the artists know the artists in some ways >> because you usually deal with like those people are the ones talking and communicating to each other all the time >> where especially for XS, we used to have a residency in EXS and they're they're very like like they would know me because I was talking to to people through them like about food kind of stuff. This this is such a successful impersonation that I actually think it's a like a win-winwin for everybody that was involved. I don't even think people should have got fired. Like this doesn't make me go like excess loses any credibility points. This makes me kind of want to go hang out there just in case. >> It reminds me that excess exists. >> Yeah. Like this is this is good marketing. Griffin, even though he got duped, he there's nothing wrong with what he did. >> He popped off >> and then he gets to post a giant Tik Tok thing that goes viral as well. Oh, like >> it's great for Griffin. >> Yeah.
6:42 >> Yeah. The impersonator and his team, unless they actually get fined and have to get pay this bill, which if they racked it up themselves, if it's like if they got a table, that's why they're they're getting paid versus a fine for impersonating and like fooling >> the the you know, the club, like then they win. >> I think it depends on like what charge they put on. If it's like a security breach, they're like, "Oh ████ like this could be breached this easily." >> But they were walked up there. You know what I mean? Like that's what I mean. If like if this if you can get past the velvet rope, get past this entrance, security guy number five, like if you can security breach all these checkpoints, then we have a vulnerability here. >> If if I'm just a patron there, if I'm like just going to the club, it's a it's a bachelor party or whatever, I'm just having a night out and I go to excess and that night I think too that Justin Bieber, I'm like this is the sickest.
7:33 And then I already think it's super dope, unforgettable. I find out it's a fake and actually goes viral. It's another win for my experience points >> for you as a customer. >> Yeah. I'm just like that's crazy. >> It arguably would go more viral than if Jesse really was there. >> Yeah. >> Yeah, that's true. >> Yeah. So, to me, I like I was a part of that. >> A marketing plus, but the venue still has to punish >> to prevent cuz it's like it went it actually worked out. But what if it weren't to work out, right? So, then they have to punish so it doesn't >> No, I get that. But >> it doesn't happen in the future. I think it's a win >> on some like parallel to vigilante crime ████ I hope more people tried to ████ dupe these clubs. >> Like remember >> it's funny when people do that. Yeah, >> there was a thing where Acon was so huge that in order to do multiple gigs at the same time and bring in that money, he had his brother
8:23 >> do his hilarious. >> He impersonated him. And if your brother can go out, look like you still do the performance >> and nobody realized. >> Everybody thinks they just enjoyed Acon like >> was he just lip-syncing the whole time? >> So messed up. >> That's hilarious though. >> That sucks for people that are paying to to see Acon though. >> Unless you didn't think anything other. >> If you didn't know the truth, I think it's fine. >> Well, your brother >> if you found out the truth like 10 years later and you're like a DC, >> I feel duped. That's >> cuz I got cuz I got duped at hard where um so my friend's brother's super in the DJ scene, right? He goes, "So word on the street is at 2 a.m. Daf Punk is showing up." I'm like, "No ████ way." So we went there. We go up. It's at 2:00 a.m. just like he said ████ Dead Mouse is performing. He ████ comes
9:13 down. This other guy comes up and we're like, "Oh my god, what the ████ What the ████ Daf Punk doing there?" And my friend who tours with a bunch of other DJs, he goes, "That's DJ AM's laptop. That's not That's not a daff punk. And I was like, "Oh, I feel like I lied to the set was dope, but I think just the fact that I knew it was counterfeit, I'm like, a man." >> I was at Coachella when Dre and Snoop headlined and they brought out hologram Tupac. Right before that happened, Snoop was performing. He's like, "Everybody got your ████ weed. Put your blood in there. Got everybody high at the same time, right? Everyone's ████ lit." And then they bring out a hologram Tupac. The girl next to me was hysterical. I was like, "He's alive." >> It's the moment, bro. >> But the idea that that's even like feasible.
10:03 >> I was like in in a time where that was like mad uncommon, too. >> I think if I was high, that'd be way different. >> That's what I'm saying. We was all lit, but I no matter how lit I was, I still wasn't going to be like >> But also, every everyone knows Tupac's also dead. >> There's no there's no counterfeiting. >> People don't believe that, though. Not my Burmese Uber driver. He was like, "You think he's alive, bro?" >> And I'm like, "What do you mean?" >> You're from the West Coast, right, bro? >> Right, bro? >> Right, bro? Even flat earthers think he's dead. >> Look, I mean, >> bring it at that time bringing out hologram Tupac is still already an amazing counterfeit. That's tight. >> Period. But but the idea of getting everybody high first >> is brilliant. >> That's very smart. Yeah, >> cuz then they don't know if it's real or fake. >> And then freaking hologram Abraham
10:53 Lincoln comes out. >> He's alive. I knew he was 250. >> Hologram John Wolf's booth comes up. >> The Civil War beef is back. Oh ████ >> DJ booth in the house. A whole festival of people can recognize John Wil. >> Like they can identify him. That's ████ amazing. >> A bunch of freaking Coachella people know John Wils by heart. >> Like they're all history buffs. >> Shoots him then jumps off. Runs off. Oh my god. >> General McCor
