Around the time of the Republican National Convention, Justin Bieber was offered a $5 million dollar deal to play at a venue near the convention center, TMZ reports.
While Bieber was strongly considering it, he eventually turned the offer down. But why?

TMZ reported that Bieber's band (comprised entirely of African-Americans) also did not want to play the convention.
