Justin Bieber and One Direction dropped two of the most highly anticipated albums of the year on Friday, and now celebrities are showing their support for Purpose and Made In The A.M. And while Bieber and One Direction have tried to downplay the competition, with Niall Horan even saying both albums being released on the same day is “good for pop culture,” it seems in terms of celebrity support there is one clear winner.
Nas tweeted, “Proud of the little homie @justinbieber go cop his album out now!” Kevin Hart echoed a similar sentiment, writing, “Get my lil bro @justinbieber’s new album #Purpose now. Proud of you.”
Frankie Grande couldn’t contain his excitement tweeting, “guess what I have on repeat all day? #purpose.” He added in a second tweet that was a shoutout to his sister Ariana Grande, “the What Do U Mean? (remix) is EVERYTHING!!!!!! THOSE HARMONIES & that belt @arianagrande!!!!! #purpose @justinbieber.”
Along with the message, “This guy… I hope you guys bought #purpose cause I really wanna know what y’all think of #TheFeeling @justinbieber,” Halsey tweeted a video of Bieber saying, “Halsey, I just want to let you know, I’m a big fan. I’m really happy to have you on my album. What else, um, you’re pretty hot too. Peace.” And Carly Rae Jepsen wrote a note of support that read, “Purpose is out today! Congrats @JustinBieberon an incredible album!”
Even though both albums were released at the same time, Made In The A.M. doesn’t seem to be getting as much celebrity support as Purpose. “Girl Meets World” star Olivia Stuck tweeted, “Alright well the new one direction album is wonderful.” And singer Jacob Whitesides played both sides, expressing on Twitter, “Congrats to @onedirection and @justinbieber on amazing music, both albums beautifully crafted.”
Tell Gossip Cop which album are you buying, Purpose or Made In The A.M.?
