For truly revealing pre-awards-show tweets, Beliebers should be following the Best New Artist nominee’s entourage. By Daniela Capistrano Justin Bieber Photo: Getty Images/MTV News As the Boy King of Twitter, Justin Bieber has no shortage of online support from his fans. Thanks to their devoted retweets and hashtag campaigns, Bieber now drives 3 percent of Twitter traffic . Most people afflicted with Bieber Fever may only get close to their beloved pop star through his RTs, which Justin often posts in response to fan tweets lamenting that he probably would never retweet them. There is, however, a small group of Twitter users who are lucky enough to get regular responses and face time with the cherubic champ: his entourage. What better time to support Justin Bieber than in the days before the 2010 Video Music Awards ? MTV News has devised a roundup of some of his most supportive team members on Twitter so that you can follow all of the insider action leading up to the Best New Artist results on Sunday.
