Canadian pop superstar Justin Bieber made it clear Thursday he’s got Aaron Carter’s back.
“I had your album when I was little. And bumped the song Aaron’s party,” Bieber tweeted, referring to Carter’s 2000 hit “Aaron’s Party (Come Get It).”
“I was like 7. if you need a hype man I got you.”
The public show of support came after Carter, 30, was asked why he never had the same level of success as Bieber.
“Listen man. I can’t sit here & just not say anything to that,” Carter tweeted. “I’ve been in this industry before he was born. I’ve had harder times and always bounce back.
“No I’m not Justin Bieber I’m Aaron Carter. I’m also in construction I paved the way. These kids have NEVER paid me homage.”

Bieber was around six years old when Carter shot the video for his 2000 cover of “I Want Candy” in Toronto.
Now, the two singers have a Twitter bromance going.
“All love over here Aaron,” Bieber tweeted. “You got my support.”
Carter responded: “I appreciate your support means a lot. Nothing but love bro.”
