Justin Bieber is once again embracing internet trends, this time joining the viral Love Island USA meme that’s been taking over social media. On Monday, June 23, the pop star, 31, shared a hilarious mashup on Instagram, splicing together two viral moments to create a comedic masterpiece.
The video combines a popular clip from Love Island USA season 7 with a quote from Bieber himself, resulting in a video that’s been rapidly gaining traction online.
The ‘Mamacita’ Trend and Bieber’s Viral Moment
The trend Bieber jumped on originates from episode 12 of Love Island USA season 7, where contestant Huda Mustafa tells her co-star Nic that she’s a “single mom.”
This clip has become a meme, with many people splicing it into other videos for comedic effect. Bieber decided to put his own spin on it by mixing it with another viral clip where he says, “I’m standing on business,” a phrase that caught fire online after he used it in a separate context.
In Bieber’s video, the mashup starts with him saying, “I’m a dad, I’m a husband,” before cutting to Huda’s clip where she says, “I’m a mom. I’m a mommy.” Nic, clearly confused, responds, “Mommy?”
The video then cuts back to Bieber saying, “You’re not getting it, it’s not clocking to you,” followed by Huda repeating, “I’m a mom,” with Nic responding again, “Mamacita?”
The video takes another hilarious turn, cutting to an old interview clip of Bieber where he also says, “What about, uhm, Mamacita?”
After more back-and-forth cuts between Love Island and Bieber’s quotes, the final segment brings in a viral clip of Toronto influencer Plushh criticizing YouTuber K Showtime on the Seeking Success Podcast, saying, “And what I don’t like is if the business is true that you left your mom in the hood, somebody go smoke that yute.”
A Viral Hit with Fans
The combination of clips, all set to an ominous soundtrack, has been a huge hit, already earning over half a million likes on Instagram. Fans flocked to the comments, laughing at the unexpected mashup that perfectly blends Love Island USA drama with Bieber’s signature humor and viral phrases.
It’s a testament to Bieber’s ability to stay relevant and tap into internet culture in a fun and relatable way.
The Backstory Behind the ‘Standing on Business’ Quote
The “standing on business” phrase went viral after an incident where Bieber criticized a photographer who he felt invaded his privacy while he was near Soho House in Malibu. The moment was captured on video and quickly spread online, with Bieber’s remark becoming a catchphrase that fans couldn’t get enough of.
On June 18, Bieber even shared a snapshot of himself on Instagram Stories, looking amused while the song Stand on Business by Myia B Music played in the background, clearly acknowledging the viral nature of the moment.
