Plus check out 9 AMAZNG fan reaction to the cheeky pic that broke the Internet.

Last week the world got QUITE the shock when they woke up to a picture of Justin Bieber’s pert posterior doing the rounds online and basically breaking the Internet in the process.

Justin Bieber's New Album - 15 Things To Expect From The 'Where Are U Now' Star

The ‘Where Are U Now’ star posted a picture of his fully naked self on the deck of a boat near Bora Bora with the caption “Look…”, and of course everyone could LITERALLY not tear their eyes off dat booty.

But now it looks like Justin’s feeling regret about being quite so *ahem* open, and has issued an apology if anyone was offended by the sight of his cheeks.

“Hey. I deleted the photo of my butt on Instagram not because I thought it was bad but someone close to me’s daughter follows me and she was embarrassed that she saw my butt and I totally wasn’t thinking in that aspect,” Justin posted on Instagram. “And I felt awful that she felt bad.

“To anyone I have offended I’m so sorry,” he added. “It was completely a pure-hearted as a joke but didn’t take in account there are littles following me!!!! Love u guys.”

Kim Kardashian may have tried to break the Internet with her belfie, but Biebs actually succeeded – and the memes that followed his picture are pure internet gold.
