2013 has been a rough year for Justin Bieber, whose antics—like with gossip writers and even Nightline wondering whether the 19-year-old singer is in the midst of a meltdown. (You know things are bad when Chris Brown says he’s praying for you, notes Slate.)
January brought him a little good news, at least: He became
the “King of Twitter,” beating out Lady Gaga to become the person with the most
followers.
But it appears he is a pretender to the Twitter throne:
Socialbakers, a company that analyzes social media stats, estimates that almost
half of his 37.3 million Twitter followers are fake (16.7 million) or inactive
(2.6 million). If you eliminate the phony and hibernating accounts, Bieber has
17.8 million “good” followers—which puts him behind Lady Gaga and her 19
million “real” followers.
