Justin Bieber has hit out at Fox News host Laura Ingraham, accusing her of 'disrespecting' murdered rapper Nipsey Hussle.
Biebs has called for the news anchor to be sacked after she appeared to laugh when introducing a segment about the late rapper.
Hussle, 33, was gunned down outside his Marathon Clothing shop in March and Ingraham sarcastically described him as "this dear artist".
The 55-year-old is one of Fox News' highest-profile anchors and she has her own conservative talk show, The Ingraham Angle.
She was discussing Hussle's 2016 hit with fellow rapper YG, FDT, which includes the chorus "f*** Donald Trump".
