Justin Bieber was reportedly put in a chokehold by a security guard at Coachella on Sunday.

TMZ reports that the singer and his entourage were refused entry to the artists’ area of Drake’s show, despite the fact that he had the correct wristband and was personally invited.

After the security guard refused them entry, a member of staff agreed to take Bieber into the specially-assigned area.

When there, a security guard allegedly came up behind the 21-year-old star and put him in a chokehold. An argument ensued.

It is claimed that Kendall Jenner’s BFF then left the festival voluntarily and is now considering taking legal action against the security guards.
