When this man’s car broke down on the side of the highway, he never expected who would stop to help.
Posting on his TikTok account, music producer Buku was talking to the camera about being stuck on the side of the road, when a stranger turned up to help.
He had a massive shock when it turned out to be famous singer Justin Bieber.
When he realized who it was, he decided to do something very respectful.

How Justin Bieber ended up helping the driver
The video began with Buku looking quite upset at the predicament he had found himself in.
He said he was having an already rough day and his car trouble was the icing on the cake.
While waiting, a car pulled up, and a man climbed out to offer some help.
In the video, you can see his face change as he begins to recognize who it was.
Buku straight up asks, “Are you Justin Bieber?” to which Bieber replies with “Yeah. What’s up, bro?”

The Canadian singer said the same thing to Buku.
Buku then did something super respectable, telling Bieber he was going to shut off his camera to ensure his privacy – something the singer wouldn’t usually see.

In his follow-up, Buku said of Bieber that he was “the most genuine personality I’ve probably ever met in my life.”

It isn’t every day that you meet your heroes, and some people say you should never meet them.
But as Buku found out, sometimes meeting your heroes can be one of the best moments of your life.
Even if you’re broken down on the side of the road.
