In a posting on his Twitter account last month, Bieber said he's long wanted Comedy Central to roast him.

He said the channel told him he needed to provide more material and he "worked hard" to provide it for the past year.

In his tweet about the Hart news on Monday, Bieber used the hashtags "#neverscared" and "#kindascared."
