Los Angeles - Justin Bieber was booed at the Juno Awards on Sunday.
The Boyfriend singer was honoured with the Fan Choice Award for the fourth time at the Canadian music awards ceremony, but it seems he wasn't a popular choice with all of the audience at Winnipeg's MTS Centre as his name was met with "a surprising mix of cheers and audible boos", The Hollywood Reporter reports.
The 20-year-old star's prize was collected by Canada's Olympic women's curling team and the singer later took to Twitter to thank fans for their support.
He tweeted: "We won #JUNOFanChoice for the 4th year in a row! Love to all my beliebers. Thank u. Love u (sic)"
Justin was later defended by Serena Ryder when she picked up her award for Songwriter of the Year.
Serena - who also picked up Artist of the Year when some winners were announced on Saturday - said: "I really think that Justin Bieber is an amazing musician and he deserved every bit of that award because he's been working his ass off his entire life and we need to support how awesome he is."
In other controversy at the show, Robin Thicke - who was nominated for three awards - cancelled his planned performance at the last minute, citing a need for vocal rest.
However, a petition online had been calling to have the Blurred Lines singer axed for "blatant sexism".
Meanwhile, twin stars Tegan and Sara were the biggest winners, picking up Group of the Year, Single of the Year for Closer and Pop Album of the Year for Heartthrob.
Randy Bachman, Fred Turner, Robbie Bachman and Blair Thornton of Bachman-Turner-Overdrive were inducted into the Canadian Music Hall of Fame.
The ceremony was jointly hosted by nominees Serena, Classified and Johnny Reid.
