Justin Bieber's laptop is safe and sound. This week fans went into frenzy when the young pop star claimed that his laptop, which contained a mass of personal footage, was stolen. Turns out it was just a build up to his much anticipated music video for "Beauty and the Beat."

The music video opens with a faux disclaimer that the footage about to be seen was stolen and uploaded by an anonymous blogger. It then cuts to different footage of Bieber through the years hanging with friends and making music. Then, surprise! It's the actual music video.

Bieber holds the camera throughout most of the music video as if he were filming himself at his own personal party - to continue with the whole private footage theme. "Beauty and the Beat" is set at an epic pool party with special guest Nicki Minaj.

Minaj was in on the music video secret. Days before the video premiered, she tweeted" OMFG!!! I am speechless. just saw the @justinbieber "beauty and a beat" video. This shit will change the game. Blown away. Wait til u c it!." On Friday, the premiere day, she prepped fans tweeting, "I'd be by a computer in 20 mins if i were u..."

"Since i was 14 i have had a lot of things said about me, from dying, to taking hormones, to dying again, to stuff about my family..," tweeted Bieber before his big reveal. "to saying i had a baby with a woman i never even met. nude pics, drugs, my family, my character...but today...today i get to be in on it..."

The Bieber hoax sparked many fake leaked naked photos and other shocking discoveries. Were you fooled?
