Singer Justin Bieber is being sued for $100,000 as he destroyed a club goer's mobile phone.

According to Robert Earl Morgan, the 22-year-old destroyed his phone when the former tried to record footage of Bieber, who was attempting to chug beer at Cle nightclub in Houston, Texas last month, reports tmz.com.

According to the lawsuit filed by Morgan, Bieber became "enraged, grabbed his cell phone and smashed it to pieces".

Morgan is suing for such a large amount because the phone contained impossible to replace pictures, including those of his grandmother's 100th birthday party and up to 5,000 images and videos from his travels.

Morgan also claims that he lost a number of business contacts when the phone was destroyed.
