Bieber Being Bought By Twitter? Leaked Tweet Gets CFO In Hot Water About Buying The Bieb's App!?

Is Justin Bieber being bought up by Twitter!? It turns out the pop superstar is apparently in talks to have his Shots app bought by the social media behemoth... and no doubt Biebs will make plenty of bank in the process. 

According to CNBC a source "close" to Shots confirms that Twitter "has held talks with Shots, the selfie app backed by singer Justin Bieber".

Shots is a photo sharing app that deals in selfies, allowing users to only use their front-facing cameras and has a reported 3 million users, one of who is Beiber, who uses the app to tweet to his 57.1 million twitter followers.

Bieber reportedly invested $1.1 million into the app, while other investors apparently include boxer Floyd Mayweather Jr and actor Omar Epps. 

It comes after Twitter's CFO Anthony Noto had a social media brainfart and accidentally tweeted out details of the acquisition, as spotted by Fusion's Kevin Roose.

As CNBC reported, Noto deleted the tweet, "but not before it was screengrabbed by some [of] his savvy 8,700 followers". 

And just for some kicks, today Bieber instagrammed a pic of himself making some shots. Nice one, bud.

Why do you think Twitter wants to buy Shots? Do they want to incorporate its selfie tech, or simply get their hands on the Biebs demographic of 18-24 year olds?  Do you know anyone who uses the app, and is it worth the insane amount of $$ Twitter might be looking to pay for it?
