Patrick Carney started a veritable shitstorm last week when he made a comment directed at Justin Bieber<\/a> after the Grammys, but he seems to be taking the backlash well. <\/p>\n

When asked about what he thought regarding Bieber not winning a trophy at the awards show, Carney–who is the drummer for The Black Keys–said, \u201cHe\u2019s rich, right? \u2026 Grammys are for music, not for money \u2026 and he\u2019s making a lot of money.\u201d<\/p>\n

Immediately after that, Carney’s Twitter account blew up with Beliebers throwing around derogatory names and telling Carney to grow up and stop hatin’. Even Justin himself posted about it, saying Carney needed to be “slapped around”. At first, the drummer was content to simply tweet back sarcastic responses, but then he changed his profile name<\/a> to Justin Bieber, which threw a wrench into the whole works (because the account is verified). <\/p>\n

The account name has since been changed back, but Carney isn’t giving up without a fight. <\/p>\n
