Global pop star Justin Bieber doesn’t think his legions of teenage followers cross the line, despite reports of violence at concerts and even death threats aimed at his friends.

The 16-year-old singer told CNN’s Becky Anderson that he has the greatest fans in the world and that he doesn’t think they are “too obsessed”.

“Nah, you know, I think my fans are really supportive and I’m glad that I have really devoted fans,” Bieber said.

“You know, I guess they do what they gotta do.”

In the past few months there have been several incidents where crowd hysteria got the better of some of Bieber’s fans.

Watch the full interview on CNN International on Monday at 2000 GMT.

On April 26, the singer had to apologize to fans after 10 young girls were treated in hospital after being hurt at a free concert in Sydney, Australia.

Last month in New Zealand, some of Bieber’s female fans knocked his mother to the ground and even stole his hat as they mobbed the singer at Auckland airport.

Crowd hysteria and even stampedes have also been reported in cities like Paris and New York.
Some of Bieber’s close friends have also been the target of fan rage.

Kim Kardashian was reportedly sent death threats by fans after Bieber jokingly referred to the reality TV star as his girlfriend.

Despite the hysteria surrounding the singer, Bieber told CNN that he is thankful and calls himself lucky for having the opportunity to do what he does.

“It’s been pretty amazing and I’m really glad that I’ve just been able to do what I love,” Bieber said.

“I’m really glad that I get to travel the world and like I said, just do what I love to do.”
Today, Bieber is one of the most popular pop stars on the music charts and is consistently one of the most trending topics on social networking site Twitter.

Meet Kim Kardashian’s current boyfriend. No, not Justin Bieber. But soccer (football) superstar for Manchester United, Cristiano Ronaldo:

The girl holding the camera is so funny. Sounds like she’s having a Biebergasm! hahahaha. See the young girl in front of her stare at her?

And Justin! OMG! He went in for the kiss himself! Somebody kill me now. Please do it quick before I have to rewatch it again…and again…

In less than a month, nearly two million people have watched the YouTube video of a 3-year-old girl named Cody crying about how much she loves Justin Bieber.

Thanks to Jimmy Kimmel, Cody now has a smile on her face.

On last night’s episode of Jimmy Kimmel Live!, the host surprised the little girl and her sisters Sierra, 8, and Cheyenne, 13, with a visit from the pop star, who was in L.A. to celebrate his 16th birthday. (The segment was taped on Friday.)

“They all knew we were going down [to the show] and didn’t know why,” their dad Tyler, tells PEOPLE.

Before the big moment, the family was seated in a dressing room backstage and Kimmel popped in to say hello. His cell phone rang, and he handed it to Cody, who discovered the boy she had tearfully proclaimed she wanted “to be one of her family” was on the line.

“All she did was put her hand over her mouth,” says her father. Then Bieber walked into the room. “[Cody] just looked at him and said, ‘I knew you would come.’ ”

After Kimmel’s cameras left, Bieber spent “probably a good 45 minutes” with the girls and their parents, “just hanging out.”

He also serenaded Cheyenne, whose birthday was Feb. 25. “He sang ‘Happy Birthday’ to her, which was really nice,” says Tyler. “And then he kissed them all on the cheek.” The following day, the family visited Disneyland, courtesy of the singer.

And yes, there were tears – but not from Cody. “The two older ones did cry,” admits their dad. “They were star-struck.”

Monday (March 1) is Justin Bieber’s 16th birthday, but before he opened his own presents, he gave a huge gift to one of his youngest, but most enthusiastic, fans.

Last week, 3-year-old Cody became an Internet sensation when her sister posted a video of her crying over the teen heartthrob on YouTube. In a pretaped segment for Monday night’s “Jimmy Kimmel Live,” Bieber came face to face with the toddler. And in a fortunate turn of events, the encounter didn’t make Cody cry at all.

Bieber posted a photo of their meeting and wrote, “Makin faces with Cody, Ciera, and @chynanny325 !! Awesome family and Cody isn’t crying..haha. Happy to surprise them.”

He later tweeted about how much he loved meeting his little fan. “I met Cody. She is even cuter in person,” he wrote in response to Perez Hilton. And he wrote to Joe Jonas that the meeting occurred last Thursday. “Yep, Cody rules. Actually met her yesterday.”

Cody’s older sister, Cheyenne, also wrote about the meeting on the Twitter account she started in response to Cody’s fame. “Hey guys watch us meet Justin on ‘Jimmy Kimmel Live’ on Monday night…At midnight… He kissed me BTW… ahhh.”
