Justin Bieber Apologizes For Kicking Argentine Flag: 'I'm So Sorry'
After a rough South American tour that included being questioned by police for his graffiti, a girl filming him while he slept on a couch and a bout of food poisoning, Justin Bieber is trying to squash another incident that happened last weekend.
While on stage in Buenos Aires on Saturday, Bieber, 19, was caught on video tossing two Argentine flags off stage, reports the Associated Press.
The videos show the "Boyfriend" singer using his foot and microphone to sweep something off stage after they were thrown at the singer in apparent appreciation.
