Patrick Carney vs. the Beliebers: The 12 Funniest Tweets

The semi-serious war of words between Black Keys drummer Patrick Carney and Justin Bieber has heated up on Twitter, with countless fans of the pop star directing their white-hot outrage at Carney via tweet.
To recap, this mini-nano-controversy began when a TMZ reporter cornered Carney after the Grammys and asked the drummer, for reasons that remain unclear, about Bieber’s exclusion from the awards. Carney’s response: “I dunno, he’s rich, right? Grammys are for, like, music, not for money. . . . He’s making a lot of money. He should be happy.”

The Keys drummer, to his credit, chose to meet their fury with utter equanimity and, at most, a little deadpan humor. Read on for Carney’s 12 funniest responses to the wrath of the Beliebers:
