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."
