Singer Justin Bieber boasted about the millions in his bank account to the police officers after his arrest for drag racing in Miami.

Following his arrest in January the 20-year-old told the police that he was just trying to enjoy himself in his rented 165mph Lamborghini sports car, reports mirror.co.uk.

The singer is scheduled to appear in court on May 5 after being charged with driving under the influence, resisting arrest and driving without a valid licence.

"I'm 19 years old. I'm just out having a good time", Bieber told an officer when arrested. The officer replied he was not driving around in a Lamborghini at the same age.

"Yeah, well, I bet you didn't have millions of dollars in your bank account either", said Bieber to the officer.

Bieber, who is reported to be worth 110 million pounds, claims he hurt his foot during a skateboard incident three months prior to his arrest.
