PARTYNEXTDOOR Tour Bus Attacked By Unknown Gunman Was Drake’s artist PARTYNEXTDOOR nearly killed after a concert in Atlanta on Sunday night? Rumors are swirling that after yet anther sold-out appearance on his PARTYNEXTDOOR LIVE tour, unknown assailants pulled up next to the OvO artist’s tour bus and opened fire. An alleged eyewitness who didn’t want to reveal his identity called VLADTV to break down exactly how PND’s tour bus and a car full of women trailing behind it were shot up in front of the Atlanta concert venue he performed at on Sunday night. But is all of this just idle chatter? No pics have popped up, no other eyewitness accounts have been reported, and no one has been reported injured that we can tell. Plus, neither PartyNextDoor nor anyone from his camp have commented on the alleged incident. Over at The Source , they went a step further and contacted the Atlanta PD to find out what happened. But still came up empty: When we reached out to a police precinct in Zone 5 of Atlanta where Center Stage, the venue PND played Friday night, is located, they claimed to have no knowledge of any incident involving the venue, PARTYNEXTDOOR, or a nearby shooting, but directed us to their Public Affairs wing for a better assessment. Our calls to Public Affairs were not returned. The OVO Sound singer/producer has yet to comment, and hasn’t tweeted in about 48 hours. No one else from the OVO camp has spoken on the alleged incident. That sounds like some pretty close-range shooting for no one to have gotten hurt…and he has an appearance in Norfolk, VA on Tuesday. Wonder if he’ll mention what happened at the show? Instagram

My name is Natalie, I’m 17 years old, and I’m from the Bay Area in California. Let me just start out by saying that I never thought that I would ever write a My Bieber Experience, but hey look at me now. The best day of my life took place on June 26 th , 2013 in San Jose, California. I had been counting down the days to Justin’s concert ever since I bought the tickets back in December. When I bought them, unfortunately I was unable to get M&Gs, however, I was able to get some really good seats, so I was extremely happy. I knew that there was going to have to be some other way for me to meet my idol. As the concert got closer and closer, my amazing friends started to try to trend #BiebsMeetNatalie, in hopes that the crew or someone would notice and help me. Well that’s what happened. On the morning of the concert, I had no expectations of meeting Justin or any of the crew that day; all that I knew was that I was going to see my idol perform. As I was on my way to the venue with my cousin (we left super early to meet up with people and hunt down the crew), everyone was trying to trend #BiebsMeetNatalieTODAY. Literally every single one of my friends were participating, trying to get a crew member to notice the trending hash-tag. As soon as I arrived at the venue, I got a DM from one of Scooter Braun’s friends, Steve, saying that Scooter wanted to give me 2 meet and greets. At this point I couldn’t breathe, I felt like I was going to pass out or something. I couldn’t believe Scooter actually saw and wanted to help me. I realized that I was finally going to meet my idol after so many years of supporting him. Unbelievable. Let’s fast forward a bit, past all the shaking and crying and all the confusion that came along with getting the M&G bracelets (the venue had terrible staff). Once we finally picked up our M&G bracelets, my cousin and I waited in line to meet the guy who means the most to me. We made friends in line, and even saw Dan Kanter along the way to meeting Justin. As we got closer to the curtains, that’s when it hit me. I was about to meet Justin Bieber. When it was our turn to go inside, they put us into a group of six. I walked inside and there he was. Flawless. They didn’t allow me to stand next to Justin or even touch him, but I wasn’t about to walk out of there without saying anything. As I was being pushed out, I shouted, “I love you Justin!” and he responded back, “Love you too!” That made me so happy. On our way out of the M&G, I saw Scooter casually walking the opposite way as me. I stopped him and was like, “Hi Scooter I’m Natalie, the one you gave M&Gs to, thank you so, so much!” He immediately knew who I was and opened his arms and was like, “Come here,” so we gave each other a giant bear hug and he said that a lot of fans wanted me to meet Justin. I asked for a picture and we said our goodbyes and I made sure to thank him about 100 more times just so he knew how grateful I was. After that, we arrived at the actual concert. We had missed the first opening act, but were able to make it just in time for Hot Chelle Rae. When they were done performing, I sat down and realized that I hadn’t met Alfredo yet! Now if you know me, you know how much Alfredo means to me. I tweeted him that I’d meet him anywhere, any place. He ended up DMing me and asked where I was sitting and told me where to go and that he would come out, but very briefly because he didn’t want to cause a big commotion. As I was waiting there, I saw him peeping through the curtains backstage, and came sprinting out with his arms wide open and a huge smile on his face. We hugged and I asked for a selfie, and he said, “Yes of course!” After that, people recognized him and the whole stadium started screaming, and I knew at that point that he had to go back inside. I told him thank you and that I loved him, and he ran back backstage. It was quick, but it was all I needed. I had never seen Justin so up close and he did amazing. I was so upset when the concert ended because I wanted it to last forever. June 26 th was definitely the best day of my life. I met Alfredo, Scooter, and most of all Justin. My advice to the people that haven’t met Justin yet is, don’t ever give up. It WILL happen one day. The rest is here: My name is Natalie, I’m 17 years old, and I’m from the Bay Area…

My names Megan, I’m 16 and I’m from a small country, Northern Ireland. I’m gonna start telling you how I first attempted to meet Justin. In November 2011, Justin came to my country for the first time for the EMA Awards. We didn’t get a show, and still to this day he hasn’t performed in my country. I slept outside for 3 nights trying to meet him and had no luck. When the Believe Tour dates were released, again, he didn’t released any for my country or even for Ireland. I was heartbroken thinking I wouldn’t ever get to see him live, but flew to NYC to see him in the Garden. I didn’t have tickets for the show but i knew somehow, deep down that I would get my tickets. And I did, fourth row for the first time seeing my idol live. At MSG I got to meet Fredo, Pattie and talk to Scooter. It was a dream come true. By this stage, Justin had released 2 dates for Ireland and I begged my mum to buy me tickets and she refused so but I bought them myself. I knew that this was my opportunity to finally meet my idol, after 5 years. On the 16th February at 5:30 p.m. I was on Tinychat, crying to my friends in America about the fact I didn’t win M&G. They were helping me plan ways on how I was going to meet him and then suddenly I got an email from BieberFever. I will never forget how I felt when I read those words, “Congratulations, Megan! You’re officially invited to attend the photo meet and greet TOMORROW NIGHT February 17th in Dublin!” It was the best feeling ever. When I got to the venue, I collected my M&G at around 4:50 p.m. and I was FREAKING OUT. Lisa was there telling us all the instructions about meeting Justin and then I looked through the door and saw Kenny. Everyone on Twitter were spamming Alfredo for me as I had a letter and present for him but he didn’t come see me, sigh. It came to us and we were next into the room with him. My friend was screaming in my ear about how “hot” he looked but I refused to look at him because I didn’t want to cry before I went in and look a mess for my picture. I was having a stare off with Fredo who was across the room smirking at me, smh. When I got into the M&G, there were 2 girls in front of me and my friend. I HAD to hug him. I HAD to thank him for saving my life more than once. I HAD to stand beside him. I kinda, maybe, accidentally, sorta pushed one of the girls out of the way so I could get beside Justin. I remember looking at Justin. I started from the feet up. White supras. Jeans. HE WAS WEARING JEANS! A grey jumper with a cartoon character on it. His chains, (I remember staring and thinking how sparkly they were). Then his face – those eyes, I couldn’t stop staring at them. The security tried to pull me back to let the other girl stand beside him, but, this may sound selfish, but he saved my life and I waited 5 years for this moment. He looked at me and could tell I was panicking and I said, “Justin, no Justin! Give me a hug please!” and he looked at me, then glared at the security guard and put his arm around my shoulder. “Come here sweetheart,” and gave me a hug. I’ve never felt so complete. Nothing compares to being in his arms. All my worries went away for those brief few seconds that he held me. I know he knew I needed that hug. I whispered, “Thank you so much. You saved and changed my life so much. Thank you!” He replied with, “You too.” The picture got taken and when we were getting told to leave, I kinda jumped on Justin to hug him again, oops. He didn’t expect me to hug him and gave me a one armed hug, and I attempted to kiss his cheek but he was talking to the other girl and I kissed his jaw. I KISSED IT. When I kissed it, he clenched. I almost died. On my way out of the M&G I told Fredo I was Meg and he said, “I seen all the tweets, I’m sorry I couldn’t get out!” He’s the cutest. The security in the venue allowed us to enter before the rest of the people attending and as I was general admission, I got front row right at the runway. I touched his hand twice. 17th February 2013 will honestly forever be the best day of my whole life. Getting to thank Justin Drew Bieber for saving me, meant the world and more. I know its cheesy, but honestly believe in your dreams. I never said never, and I met him. You will too. Just believe. -Megan Here is the original post: My names Megan, I’m 16 and I’m from a small country,…

I’m lucky enough to be writing my 3 rd MBE and I am so grateful for that! Justin Bieber is such a big part of my life and I want to thank him for taking time out of his busy day to meet all of us. Here’s my experience when he came to my hometown of Ottawa, Canada. It all started when he announced the Believe Tour dates and I knew I had to get tickets with my best friend Alyssa. I went to two concerts on the My World Tour, where I won M&G’s for both! Since the experience was absolutely amazing, I really wanted to meet him again so when they were selling VIP Tickets (very close seats + M&G) I had to get them! I saved up my money, got the tickets, and the countdown started. It was finally the day of the concert and I was SO excited! We always go super early to his concerts for a chance to catch a glimpse of Justin before he goes inside the venue. Unfortunately we didn’t make it in time and he came out for a few minutes to talk to some lucky fans before we got there. He was really rocking those overalls. Since this isn’t my first concert experience, I knew exactly where I could sneak into the venue to find a bathroom to get all ready to meet Justin. We changed our outfits, fixed our hair and makeup, and then went to wait in line. Finally it was our turn to walk in through those black curtains and meet Justin Bieber. The next few seconds happened so fast, but it was totally worth it. We greeted & smiled for the camera. I was so up close beside him for the picture so when I asked for a hug afterwards he turned his head to me and we were legitimately face-to-face, so close, looking straight into his beautiful eyes! Seriously, I melted inside. He’s like, “Of course!” and bear hugged me. AHH still freaking out! We saw a lot of the Bieber Team just hanging out around the M&G too, which was pretty cool, I said hey to Fredo. We had 3 rd row for the concert but we really wanted to be right beside the stage along with the other girls who had the privilege to do so . So when Justin came on, we just went for it (even though we didn’t have the bracelets we needed!) and surprisingly security didn’t say anything to us. So thankful for that. We ended up being first row, how incredible? The concert was absolutely AMAZING and we were so close to him. Justin would literally be dancing right in front of me and I could see the sweat dripping off his face. He’s grown so much as an artist and performer since the My World Tour, and it was amazing to witness it. This experience I will cherish forever. See you in 2013! -@sarahdesmarais (I’m the brunette on the left in the picture!) Read more: I’m lucky enough to be writing my 3rd MBE and I am so grateful…
