Is it too late for them to say sorry? Justin Bieber took to social media to slam H&M for selling his merchandise — and claimed they did so without his approval. “I DIDN’T APPROVE ANY OF THE MERCH COLLECTION THAT THEY PUT UP AT H&M,” Bieber, 28, wrote via his Instagram Story on Monday, December 19. “All without my permission and approval SMH I WOULDN’T BUY IT IF I WERE YOU.” In a second post, the “Baby” singer called the clothing “trash,” adding, “I DIDN’T APPROVE IT.
