Grammy-nominated Canadian pop singer-songwriter who recently celebrated his 18th birthday is portrayed with a black eye and bloodied face photo suggesting he has been beaten. The coming-of-age theme as a young artist and pop cultural phenom is echoed throughout the photos and the title of the cover story “Second Round KO” by Joe La Puma. It gives a candid and in-depth look at Justin Bieber and the impact of his international fame upon him and those closest to him, including his manager Scooter Braun. Here are a few excerpts.

On dealing with the paparazzi:

“I’ll be covering my face,” he says, “and it pisses me off so much when people say, ‘Get over it, Justin. You’re famous. People are going to take your picture. Suck it up, you’re rich…’ It’s like, ‘Yo, I just got off an eight-hour flight. I’m tired and my eyes have bags under them. I’m not trying to take pictures. I’m not going to come to your house, wake you up, and start snapping your picture.’”

On 19-year-old girlfriend, actress-singer Selena Gomez:

Although he’s not ready to answer the question of whether he’s in love, he’s not trying to conceal his feelings for Gomez anymore. “There’s no way to hide the relationship completely, because then it would be unfair to us,” he says. “It’s like, ‘You take this car, and I’ll take this car, and then we’ll meet up at the spot. Then, you go in this door, I’ll go in this door. We’ll end up crossing ways. You get back in this car. We’ll cross over, do a James Bond. You go through the kitchen. I’ll go through the back area. Then we’ll meet in the dressing room and see each other.’ At that point, it’s not even a relationship. You’re just hiding from everyone. That’s unfair and unhealthy, man.”
