It all started on July 3rd, when actor/musician Drake Bell lightheartedly dissed Justin Bieber (see above).
Justin Bieber’s fans were not amused, and they have been giving Bell hell for the past two weeks.
Among other things, the Beliebers claimed that Bell had to cancel a concert because he sold only 18 tickets. As far as Twitchy can tell, that claim was fabricated.
Yesterday and this morning, Bell struck back, publishing a torrent of tweets attacking his Belieber critics.
He retweeted several tweets from fans showing that Bell in fact has a large following.
Beliebers say @DrakeBell cancelled concerts because he sell no tickets? LOL Watch this video AND GO LIE SOMEWHERE ELSE. http://t.co/7Eci1W40

He suggested that Bieber might benefit from guitar lessons. (We think Bell is the dude on the right.)

He retweeted several messages slamming Bieber’s fans as 12-year old girls:
@DrakeBell actually lol-ing so hard at these 12 year old girls that are giving you hate. What are they gonna do, throw their barbies at you?

@DrakeBell I think the tweets you're getting are showing what his fanbase are. 12 year olds or adults with the mind of a child.

And he retweeted several death threats and death wishes from Bieber fans:

Hey, Beliebers, that isn’t funny. It’s creepy. If you’re looking for a way to win Justin Bieber’s affection, that is not the way to do it.
Related: Some Beliebers are claiming that pop starlet Katy Perry unfollowed Bell to show her solidarity with Bieber:
Katy Perry unfollowed Drake Bell for bashing Justin. I bow down to Katy, you're a real Belieber.
