Justin Bieber doesn’t get the negativity surrounding a couple of famous bands, saying those who mock the groups “just don’t understand” them.

The “Peaches” singer joined Threads over the weekend — already gaining nearly 9 million followers as of Monday (June 3) — and in doing so made a couple revelations, including one regarding a pair of bands that are often the butt of jokes on the internet. In the post, Bieber praised both Nickelback and Creed, two groups that are sometimes memed and mocked for their signature styles of music.

“And if you like to hate on Nickleback [sic] and Creed U just don’t understand it,” he wrote. “It’s good trust me.”

Prior to his defense of the bands, Bieber made his Threads debut by sharing a favorite song of his with followers, writing in his first thread that the song “Whistle” by Flo Rida “makes me happy.”

Bieber has a lot to be happy about right now. Last month, he and wife Hailey Baldwin Bieber revealed that they are expecting their first child together, sharing an announcement video featuring photos and clips from an intimate vow renewal in Hawaii that included pics of Hailey cradling her growing baby bump. The expecting parents even reportedly already have the “perfect” baby name picked out.
