Washington, June 8 (ANI): Justin Bieber was baptised in a New York bathroom in an attempt to cleanse himself post his racist remarks and joking about joining the Ku Klux Klan.

Pastor Carl Lentz, who works with Justin in America, said that the 20-year-old popstar has been attending services and doing intense Bible study before the videos went public, TMZ.com reported.

As Bieber could not find a church where he could be baptised without people knowing about it, so he decided do it in a friend's bathroom to keep it private.

It was previously reported that the 'Baby' singer has claimed that he was approached by a man asking for 1 million dollars payout to keep them private. (ANI)
