Justin Bieber and Cara Delevingne had been by no means precisely besties — however since Cara is tight with Hailey Bieber, that sort of makes them pals by default. Or at the least, it ought to have. Nonetheless, Delevingne has by no means been shy about calling out the “Child” singer when she seems like he is out of line.
