Pop star Justin Bieber is in the news again. This time, a fan pelted water bottle at the singer for refusing to render 'Despacito' at the Summerburst Festival in Stockholm. Though the English-speaking singer crooned some Spanish words in the remix of Luis Fonsi and Daddy Yankee's chart bursting number, Bieber never managed to memorise the lyrics. So, when fans at the festival requested the song, the singer responded, "I can't do 'Despacito.' I don't even know it."

However, Bieber managed to duck out of the way and kept his cool despite the incident. "Whoa! Don't throw things at me please," he said. YouTube user Anonymous Belieber even uploaded the video on his page which is one of the top trending videos on the site. There is no word on whether any action has been taken against the person who threw the bottle at the Canadian singer.

Well, this is not the first time the singer was hit by a water bottle. In 2013, during a concert at the Anhembi Arena in São Paolo, Brazil, a similar incident took place. But, Bieber reacted differently by walking out of the venue. His fans waiting patiently for almost 30 mins but he didn't turn in.

According to Entertainment Online, Bieber's refusal to learn the lyrics continues to upset fans. He last tried to sing 'Despacito' publicly at 1OAK in New York City May 23. Ad-libbing the lyrics, he told his adoring audience that constantly swapped the song's title with 'Dorito' or 'burrito'. "I don't know the words so I say 'Dorito' / I don't know the words so I say 'Dorito' / I don't know the words so I say 'Dorito' / Despacito, blah blah blah. I ate a burrito / I just want a burrito," the report quoted the singer.

'Despacito' is a single by Puerto Rican pop artist Luis Fonsi featuring Puerto Rican rapper Daddy Yankee. Earlier this year, a remixed version featuring Bieber was released—becoming a sensational hit in numerous countries, particularly in the English-speaking world.
