About

It's Not Clocking To You That I'm Standing On Business refers to a catchphrase uttered by pop star Justin Bieber during a confrontation with the paparazzi in mid-June 2025. Bieber was filmed leaving Soho House Malibu late on June 12th, 2025, when he repeatedly told the cameramen to leave him alone, saying, "I'm a dad, I'm a husband. You're not getting it, it's not clocking to you. It's not clocking to you that I'm standing on business, is it?" Several internet users noted Bieber's perceived misuse of AAVE slang like "clock it" and "standing on business," likening the phrase to the meme, When The Chile is Tea But The Finna Is Gag.

Origin

According to a report by Page Six,[1] Justin Bieber was recorded confronting paparazzi outside the Malibu Soho House late on June 12th, 2025, asking them to stop asking him questions only to sensationalize his videos by taking his answers out of context. At one point during his outburst, Bieber reportedly said, "You’re not getting it. It’s not clocking to you. It's not clocking to you that I'm standing on business, is it?"
