Fake Justin Bieber dupes club goers, but TikTok users aren’t fooled

While a Justin Bieber look-alike may have fooled Las Vegas event managers, TikTok users weren’t convinced.

The popular Las Vegas club XS at Wynn thought it’d hit the jackpot after someone vaguely resembling Justin Bieber came looking to perform.

Event managers must’ve thought they were dreaming. How could Justin Bieber actually want to perform at XS Las Vegas?

Well, they were, in fact, dreaming. The reality was that this wasn’t Justin Bieber but a man named Dylan Desclos, who’s (apparently) a dead ringer for the Canadian singer.

Desclos and his team even ran up a $10,000 bar tab, which was supposedly paid for before the prankster was kicked from the club and awarded a lifetime ban for his impromptu performance.

The club’s failure turned into an online viral moment as people began to record one of the biggest flops of all time.

One TikTok user said that they had “the pleasure of seeing Justin Bieber’s impersonator perform this weekend at XS nightclub.”

The video shows Desclos, who could pass for Bieber if you close both eyes, prancing around the stage with his t-shirt off, singing one of the Canadian singer’s most popular singles, “Sorry.”

The booked DJ, who was actually upstaged by fake Bieber, Gryffin, posted a story to TikTok commenting on the bizarre event.

The video, or “Biebergate2025” as Gryffin dubbed it, received over 51,000 likes on TikTok, more than 600 comments, and around 814,000 views.

Gryffin described how “bustin jeiber” duped him during his own set at the Las Vegas nightclub.

The DJ said that “Bieber” and his team told him that he wanted to play his hit “Sorry,” when Grffyin said, “little did I know I was about to be sorry” as he soon realized that this Bieber wasn’t the real deal.

“The club went wild,” Grffyin wrote, and after four minutes and 27 seconds of “what sounded like Justin Bieber,” he found out “the worst news imaginable.”

“Complete fake,” one of the DJ’s friends told him after his club appearance.

Another TikTok user who was seemingly at the event wasn’t as savvy as other users on the social media platform, as they said, “Someone settle the debate once and for all. No, but for real, how did he dupe Gryffin and the Wynn?”

The video includes text that says, “Did I really fan girl over a fake Justin Bieber?”

When watching the video, fans can be heard audibly screaming, unaware yet in awe of a completely fake Bieber.
