Beliebers took to Twitter to praise the nine year anniversary of the day that Justin Bieber made his YouTube debut. #9YearsofKidRauhl is a reference to Bieber’s YouTube channel, named after his dad’s interest in a series of fantasy novels (something only a Belieber would understand).
Fans used this hashtag to highlight his transformation from YouTube kid to mega pop star, and by 2:30pm that day the hashtag had been used over 400k times.
