It's one controversy after another for Justin Bieber. The pop heartthrob angered officials in Australia's Gold Coast after he defaced a wall at the QT Hotel with his graffiti and Bieber has now been ordered to clean it up or entertain the town.
The 19-year-old star didn't have permission to tag the wall at the hotel following his first show in Brisbane and he has been urged to perform a free concert as 'community service' for his actions.
Justin is also said to have left his spray paints behind for someone else to clear up.
The perpetual pop brat spray painted a PacMan ghost-style pink cartoon complete with black teeth and a single black eye for his throw up.
The star was spotted with his entourage, who were also spray painting, in an outdoor area of his hotel at a wall near a basketball court.
Mayor Tom Tate sent Bieber a graffiti removal kit but the Baby hitmaker had already left the hotel so he didn't receive it.
In order to make amends, Tate recommended he sing Christmas carols for the town next month.
He told Nine Network: 'If a normal person did that they'd be serving 80 to 100 hours of community service.
'Just come and clean it up and we'll be happy with you. Alternatively come and sing at our mayoral Christmas carols on the seventh of December for an hour and I'll let you go.'
Attorney-General Jarrod Bleijie also spoke about his 'disappointment' in the star.
'Justin Bieber is a role model to many young people so, if the claims are correct, it is disappointing that he did this without permission,' he told The Courier-Mail.
'It's up to the hotel to make a complaint if it chooses.'
A spokeswoman for QT said she was unaware of any request from Bieber to spray paint the property and the hotel had no designated area for graffiti.
It is unclear if charges will be pressed.
According to a report in the Brisbane Times back in April, new laws, which were set to be passed this year, ask for a maximum penalty of up to seven years jail for graffiti vandals, making the state's punishment the toughest in Australia.
A couple of hours ahead of his spray painting expedition on Wednesday morning, Justin had performed his first Believe concert in Brisbane, 100km away.

Wearing a hoodie with 'The Future' written on the back, Justin is said to have spent 30 minutes on his creation.
This is not the first time Justin has gotten handy with the spray can.
He has been seen leaving his mark in several destinations around the world, most recently in South American countries, Brazil and Colombia.
At the end of October, he was spotted spray painting a wall with the words 'Free Breezy' - referring to bad boy rapper Chris Brown's nickname - in Bogota, where street art is a legal activity.
But during the next stop on his graffiti tour, Bieber found himself on the wrong side of the law when he once again tried the act out in Brazil.
The pop star was charged with illegally scrawling graffiti on the wall of a £23 million hotel in Rio de Janiero.
As well as childish drawings of faces and baseball caps, the teen star scribbled phrases such as 'Bielibers 4 life' and 'respect privacy' on the side of the property in upmarket district of Sao Conrado.
A police spokesman described the case as a misdemeanor which would be forwarded to a small claims court where the Canadian pop star now faces a fine.
