Justin Bieber's crossed a line with his new album, 'Justice,' and he's getting called out for it -- turns out mixing pop loves songs with snippets of Martin Luther King Jr. speeches was not a good idea.

JB dropped the album Thursday night, and the first voice you hear on it isn't his ... it's MLK saying,"Injustice anywhere is a threat to justice everywhere." Powerful and true words ... no one's questioning that, but it's the fact the speech is used to introduce the love song,"2 Much" that's pissing off a lot of people.

Twitter's teeing off on Justin for the"tone deaf" use of MLK, because, despite its title, the album isn't about social justice. It's filled with Bieber's signature pop ballads and dance tunes -- and they're pretty good -- but MLK Jr. has NO connection to them. There's even a nearly 2 minute"MLK Interlude" track in the middle of the record, which leads into a song called"Die For You." If you're thinking there's a tie-in because of MLK's assassination ... nope! It's just an upbeat diddy about a hot chick.

Mr potato head is pissing off people. Give me a break

🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤦🏽‍♀️🤦🏽‍♀️🤦🏽‍♀️🤦🏽‍♀️🤦🏽‍♀️🤦🏽‍♀️🤮🤮

Justin went to the MLK Estate to get clearance for the audio clips, & his daughter, Bernice King, loves how they were used on the album. She tweeted, thanking Justin for his support. Sooo ... take that?” I have a feeling this is from the same people attempting to cancel Eminem.

Why are y'all mad? He is trying to bring awareness and got clearance from the family. He has a positive message that needs to be made aware of. To often y'all pay to much emphasis on the messenger instead of listening to the message.

They should have known Justin was raised surrounded by black community.

Why ? These black fokes are a irritating bunch. Sensitive

Justin basically black

I'm sick of this dude. I was definitely done after Yummy.

Justin Bieber is like, Elvis and Justin Timberlake...will use black culture...but he doesn't give a FU%K.

since the family ok’ed it then theres no issue. quit tryna divide is more tmz

He never has thought these things out well. I know he meant to do justice and show support. But he has always fallen short by not hiring actual Black People to help out on this subject. White people just can't do it justice alone. Now he once again looks like a fool.
