He is one of the most famous pop stars in the world with success that has brought him nine Grammy Awards and four Emmy Awards.

He also called Memphis the greatest city in the world as he compared the Midwest city to some of the most famous cities in the world.

Justin got a cheer as he said: 'London ain't got no Gus's Fried Chicken. Paris may rendezvous, but they ain't got no Rendezvous. Egypt has the pyramid; they don't have no Bass Pro Pyramid.'
