Pop Icon Justin Bieber Needs An "Ass-Whoopin" Says NFL Legend Eric Dickerson

Justin Bieber is one of the most popular teen pop stars in America, as well as the entire world. His performances and persona have attracted an extremely large fan base, and a large amount of people who hate him. In recent news, NFL legend Eric Dickerson suggested that Bieber should have gotten more "ass-whoopings" when he was growing up, and he isn't the only one to think that. Reportedly, Seth Rogen even called Bieber a 'piece of sh-t.'

Bieber's Manager, Scooter Braun, discovered Justin through his YouTube videos in 2007. Braun was impressed with the videos and contacted Bieber's mother Pattie about wanting to work with him.

Bieber released his debut album, My World, in November of 2009. It sold enough copies to be certified as platinum in the U.S. Also, that album led to Justin being the only artist to have SEVEN songs from a debut album land on the Billboard Hot 100.

Since then, Justin has existed on a different level than any other artist.

His popularity reminds viewers of the great Michael Jackson. Like Mike, he has been the center of several scandals and controversies. According to TMZ Sports, NFL's Erik Dickerson thinks the boy could control himself better if he wasn't raised so poorly:

"Justin Bieber woulda had a lot less problems in life...if his mama woulda dished out a few good ass-whoopings over the years...so says NFL legend Eric Dickerson. Dickerson is no stranger to Biebs -- they were neighbors in Calabasas...E.D. says he would often see the kid driving dangerously...Bieber [recently] made a new video explaining that he truly wants to change for the better. So, does Eric think Bieber has a shot to become a better person? 'It's possible,' Dickerson says."

When youngsters don't learn consequences when they're young, they learn them the hard way later in life.

Based on a report by The Daily Beast, there are a lot of A-list celebs who are ready to watch Justin learn said hard lessons:

"What do Seth Rogen, Taylor Swift, and Jon Bon Jovi all have in common? They think Justin Bieber is The Worst. They think Justin Bieber is a shithead. Excuse me, they think he's a 'piece of shit.' That's what Seth Rogen tweeted earlier this year as a preface to an epic rant against the Canadian pop star/global menace he made this week during his press tour promoting the R-rated comedy Neighbors."
