From TMZ
Justin Bieber is under the influence ... of a rapper named Lil Twist -- and the rapper may be leading JB down a dangerous path.
Twist was with Bieber in a Newport Beach hotel room last week, where, we're told, the rapper was happily rolling blunts for J.B. and others.
Sources familiar with the situation tell TMZ ... JB and Twist have become tight ... and have been smoking together on a number of other occasions.
You'll recall ... Twist was speeding on the 405 Freeway New Year's Day in Justin's Ferrari when he was pulled over by cops. A photog was killed trying to snap pics of the traffic stop. Prior to the accident, Twist and Justin had spent much of the day in a room at the Four Seasons Hotel in Beverly Hills -- where Justin frequently gets a room.
Twist's Twitter profile pic makes it clear ... he's a fan.
Sources involved in Justin's life who care about him are deeply concerned that Twist has become a powerful negative influence in his life and feel very strongly Justin needs a clean break from the rapper or else bad things are going to happen.
FYI ... Lil Twist is signed by Lil Wayne and close knit with the Cash Money and Young Money crews.
Lil Twist's Wiki page
Christopher Lynn Moore (born January 11, 1993), known by his stage name Lil Twist is a rapper from Dallas, Texas. He is currently signed to Young Money Entertainment.
Twist has been making music since he was 7 years old. He released his first single, "The Texas Twist" when he was 10 years old, which was #1 locally in Dallas for 6 straight weeks. When he was 12 years old, Lil Twist had his mom drive him an hour to a Lil Wayne concert in Tyler, Texas. He got to open for Lil Wayne after getting Lil Wayne's manager, Cortez Bryant to let him perform. Impressed, Cortez and Wayne flew Lil Twist to Atlanta to see how he was in a recording studio.
Lil Twist, born Christopher Moore, was signed to Young Money Records after Lil Wayne saw him perform at one of his concert openings in 2007. Twist shows his love for the hip hop by constantly working on new music; mixtapes such as The Golden Child, or a single to build anticipation for his upcoming album, Don’t Get It Twisted. He also displays his versatility in songs such as “Love Affair“, where he shows off his singing skills. Signing to Young Mula in 2010, Twizzy has not shown any signs of slowing down which shows the notorious Young Money work ethic side of him. Before starting his 8 month stint in prison, Lil Wayne blessed Twist with the nickname of "Twizzy F. Baby" (much like "Weezy F. Baby') hinting that Weezy see’s his younger self in Twist.

My conclusions: This kid is the reason Bieber wore those diaper pants, tries to fight paparazzi despite being so weak, smokes weed, and broke up with Selena Gomez.
Edit: Lil Twist has crashed Bieber's nice cars multiple times.
