Cody Simpson: Justin Bieber is 'An Incredible Encouragement'

Cody Simpson pledges his love for the late Farrah Fawcett with a tee-shirt as he and a few friends arrive at Katsuya in Hollywood on Thursday evening (April 5).

Pal and peer Justin Bieber recently stood up for Cody, 15, during a radio interview.

Justin told the hosts of the Johnjay & Rich show, “First of all, be nice, because, I mean, Cody‘s a talented kid,” when they asked why he would want to collaborate with Cody.

Catching up with Popstar!, Cody responded about the incident, “It’s cool [that Justin stood up for me]. I think something that people are starting to see is that with everyone in the new generation it’s all love and everyone supports one another…Justin and I have a great relationship at the moment. He’s been an incredible encouragement to what I do, and obviously it showed in the interview that he’s not going to take any BS from people about friends and fellow artists.”
