            The pop star has had a troubled start to 2014, after being arrested for driving under the influence in Miami. A trial is due to begin there in July.

Police in California also searched his home after he allegedly threw eggs at a neighbour's house.

And, three weeks ago, he was detained at Los Angeles International Airport and questioned by customs officers, after returning from Asia.

However, no formal action was taken and he was released after four hours.

The incidents have dented the singer's public image. He was booed after winning the fan's choice prize at Canada's Juno Awards last month.

On Sunday, he was booed again as he took his mother to a basketball game in Los Angeles.
