It seems like the message finally landed because the confusion around that acronym has really settled down. I honestly never thought this would reach so many people but seeing how much this mattered to everyone honestly floors me. Thank you for sticking with me on this.

As Justin Bieber's career is growing, him and his fans are calling him with the acronym as 'JB'. We respect him, his fans, and all that has to do with him, but the Jonas Brothers fans' use this acronym way before then him, and we don't feel comfortable for him to use this acronym, and we feel as he and his fans are copying our acronym. Please, Justin Bieber and fans, don't feel offended in any way, we are just asking you guys to stop it, because it hurts us (Jonas Brothers' fans.) And for all people which don't know that 'JB' was used for Jonas Brothers, should look at the self-titled CD, the first one by Hollywood Records, and see that there is a sign with 'JB' on it. And again, we will like to say that our mission is not to offend anyone, we respect him but we will like for it to stop, because we feel offended by the wrong use of the acronym.

I am honestly a bit overwhelmed by the attention this has received lately. It is clear that I am not the only one who feels protective over this, and I am so grateful that so many of you have joined me in this conversation.

The Jonas Brothers had it first! It's so confusing when people talk about JB and mean Justin. Very disrespectful to the OG.

JB has always been the Jonas Brothers to me. Even my old posters say it. Justin is just a copycat.

It makes me so mad when people get it twisted. Joe Nick and Kevin are the only real JB. Period.
