Why Is Justin Bieber 'Standing on Business,' and Why Won't Anyone 'Clock' That?
Briefly

Justin Bieber's struggle with paparazzi and his personal life has turned into a tedious spectacle. Recently, he revealed a screenshot scolding an ex-friend while sharing celebratory Father's Day moments. His battle against media intrusion culminated in a surreal confrontation with paparazzi, where he awkwardly pleaded for privacy while using trending slang. Despite his efforts to redefine his message, it has resonated more as a meme than a serious plea, illustrating his discontent and the challenges he faces in managing both public and private life.
His earnest attempt to use these phrases that reference both AAVE and queer slang sounds unbelievably silly. It's 'How do you do, fellow kids?' turbocharged.
Bieber's ongoing war against the paparazzi has reached a point of thudding tediousness; he is clearly unhappy, and whatever he's attempting to do to rectify that isn't working.
While his Father's Day drama unfolded, there was a new series of words making the rounds: 'It's not clocking to you that I'm standing on business, is it?'
Bieber is trying to articulate what he's been telling the paparazzi for months—that he wants to be left alone—using different language, yet to no success.
