Justin Bieber has found himself in the middle of a race row after stereotyping aboriginal Canadians as 'freeloaders' who get free petrol.

The 18-year-old quipped to Rolling Stone recently: 'I'm actually part Indian. I think Inuit or something. I'm enough per cent that in Canada I can get free gas.'

But now the Congress of Aboriginal Peoples are claiming his remarks were racist.

CAP's Betty Ann Lavallée, said: 'These kinds of remarks promote the misconception that we are somehow getting a free ride.'

And the Aborigines are not the only ones the Canadian star has offended of late.

The Boyfriend singer recently called on none other than Prince William to take action on his receding hair line.

He reportedly told Rollercoaster magazine: 'I mean, there are things to prevent that nowadays, like Propecia. I don't know why he doesn't just get those things, those products ... Have you not got it over here?'
