US singer Justin Bieber has assured fans that he is not gay – in case there was any confusion over his sexuality.

The 21-year-old star posted a video to his 28.7 million followers on Instagram showing himself kissing a male friend on board a private jet.

Bieber can be seen riding around on a self-balancing scooter before scooting up to his friend and planting a kiss on his cheek.

The Where Are U Now singer captioned the clip: “I'm not gay but even if I was that's not an insult.”

Fans were quick to respond to the video with one user praising the "not an insult" comment.

They wrote: "Thanks for telling people what they need to hear, GAY ISN'T AN INSULT. IT'S OK 2 BE GAY."

Bieber - who last week told fans that he had found God - later melted hearts when he uploaded a video of himself chasing his younger brother Jaxon around on a self-balancing scooter.

The pair can be seen riding around on the devices as Jaxon 'shoots' his older brother with a toy gun.
