WASHINGTON, Jan. 6 (UPI) -- Justin Bieber claims he may have gotten mixed up with Kourtney Kardashian after her high-profile breakup because she was using him.
The "Sorry" singer, who is romantically linked to model and longtime friend Hailey Baldwin, discussed the matter in-brief during a Dec. 17 interview set to air Wednesday.
"I'm being used, man. What can I say?" Bieber, 21, joked during the interview with hosts on The Bert Show when confronted with headlines about himself and the 36-year-old reality television celebrity. When asked to elaborate, the Canadian musician uttered, "Nah, we'll leave it at that."
Soon after, Bieber touched again on the topic of his Kardashian affair, saying the mother of three is "great. I've known [the family] for years."

Bieber fueled rumors of a brewing romance between himself and Kourtney Kardashian in early December when he posted a mysterious photo featuring a hidden woman after being seen at The Nice Guy restaurant in Los Angeles just days before.
"Lord knows," the singer captioned the mystery shot, possibly singling out Kardashian's ex, Scott Disick, who claims himself a "Lord."
