Justin Bieber has taken to Instagram to explain why he hurled expletives at a news crew while on his private Sunshine Coast island on Tuesday.

Using a mock Tongan accent, Justin explained that he was just imitating Jonah from Tonga, a character played by Chris Lilley on the Aussie comedy show Summer Heights High.

‘I said puck you miss! There’s a difference between bullying him and joking around. I was joking around,’ Justin said in a video posted to Instagram on Wednesday.

The 23-year-old addressed the the reporter in the caption accompanying the video, writing, ‘SORRY BEN – If you don’t get the context its from an Australian TV show called ‘Summer Heights High’.

‘Sorry Ben! Motherf*****r!’ he snapped, before making a stabbing motion with his arm and adding, ‘Sorry, ranga’.

‘I was doing it for fun. You just didn’t get that it was fun. You on your period or what miss?’ he continued, addressing the news reader who delivered the story.

Mind your langauge! ‘I said puck you miss! There’s a difference between bullying him and joking around. I was joking around,’ Justin said in a video posted to Instagram on Wednesday

‘I could tell him a knock knock joke and he wouldn’t even think it was funny. I was punting him, sir. Watch MTV for once sir,’ Justin concluded.

The response video followed an incident at Justin’s Queensland island where the Canadian told Channel Seven’s staff to ‘f*** off, mate’ before giving them the one-finger salute.

The Love Yourself hitmaker went on to yell more expletives from a distance.

‘F*** you. What’s wrong with you?’ he continued as he stood on the water’s edge at Makepeace Island, which he’d rented from Sir Richard Branson for his stay.

The shirtless pop star was sporting blue and white board shorts as he enjoyed his day off, showing off his many tattoos.

Justin’s stay in Queensland has been otherwise nothing short of luxurious, with the star hiring Makepeace Island near Noosa.

‘Why are you invading my privacy?’ Last week, the Love Yourself hitmaker came under fire again when he was seen snubbing a fan who wanted to take a photo with him
