In a statement to People, H&M responded saying: ‘as with all other licensed products and partnerships, H&M followed proper approval procedures.’ 

H&M has previously sold merchandise promoting the singer’s Purpose Tour in 2016, as well as a Justin Bieber Stadium Tour line in 2017, which was promoted by the Baby singer at the time, according to Bustle.
