Nick Jonas is happy to stop and take pictures with his fans. Just don’t make fun of his height afterward. The 24-year-old “Levels” singer clapped back at a disrespectful fan on social media Friday. The fan posted a photo of the two with a biting caption criticizing Jonas’ height.
“@NickJonas, u need a few more inches, bruh,” the fan wrote in the Instagram caption. The picture showed Jonas smiling next to him on the street, with Jonas’ head coming up to the taller fan’s shoulder.
Jonas, who is 5 ft. Seven in. was not happy to read the dig. “You need some manners, ‘bruh,'” he commented on the fan’s post. I didn’t need to stop to take that picture with you. It was just rude. Very rude.”
Other fans on social media picked up the comment and tweeted about Jonas’ response. The fan has since changed his caption to, “One of the most humble superstars…MY MAN @nickjonas.”
This backtrack made Jonas happy. He commented with a “thumbs up” emoji and a supportive message for fans attacking the original poster: “Hey y’all…it’s all good,” Jonas wrote. There’s no need to spread hate.”
Jonas’ original message might have seemed harsh because he spends his time on social media focused on positive posts. On Aug. 20, he sent a happy birthday tribute to his long-time friend and former tour mate Demi Lovato.
“Happy birthday, @ddlovato. We’ve seen a lot of life together already. There is much more to come as well. I admire you so much and am so grateful to have you in my life,” Jonas wrote. “Wish I could be with you today to celebrate! I know you won’t ever let me live it down that you’re a month older than me.”
The post included two photos. The first was a steamy shot of the two with Jonas in a tuxedo and Lovato showing off skin in fishnet stockings. The next photo was a flashback of the singers in the 2008 Disney Channel film Camp Rock, which aired when they were just 16.
