Canadian pop star Justin Bieber imposed a photo ban earlier this May, telling his fans not to come up to him and ask for pictures because he was starting to feel like a "zoo animal" and wants to keep his sanity.

However, the Christian singer broke his self-imposed ban when he saw an adorable baby eating sushi in a Malibu restaurant, according to TMZ. Bieber was so enamoured with six-month-old Nikki, who was eating lunch with her family in Nobu, that he asked to carry her and even requested to have their photo taken.

"Aww, who is this little baby? She's so cute?" Bieber commented. He asked the family if the baby was a fan of his and even gave her a kiss on the cheek.

After eating, Bieber made sure to come back to Nikki's table and asked if she missed him. He even trolled his fans on his Instagram account (@justinbieber) later when he posted their photo and called the Armenian baby his "daughter."

Bieber's photo ban really upset a lot of his fans, and there was even someone who goes by the username "braekess" who told Bieber his fans are the reason why he became successful in the first place, and the least he can do is have his picture taken with them.

"I'm sure it's annoying not being able to live a 'normal' life, but 'normal' isn't what you signed up for," the critical fan wrote.

However, Bieber is not going to change his mind anytime soon. The "Sorry" crooner says he does not mind receiving criticism and being called names if it will keep him emotionally fit.

Bieber adds that he wants to enjoy life and not be a slave to the demands of the world. "I love the fact that I am able to make people happy, but [come on]—if you truly were in my position, you would understand how tiring it is (boo hoo Justin get over it). I'm going to keep making decisions I feel are fit for my growth and no human being will make me feel bad for it," he says.
