Usain Bolt says he’s a ‘Belieber’ during Snapchat Q and A
Usain Bolt revealed that his favourite artist is Drake and that he’s a Justin Bieber fan (a Belieber), one of his favourite countries is Paris, and that he’s targeting the sub-19 second barrier in the 200m.
Bolt revealed all this through his Snapchat account, where he announced that he’ll be doing weekly Q and A sessions with his fans. The footage was four minutes in length and was split up into Snapchat’s patented one to 10 second video clips.
Snapchat is a messaging platform available on mobile devices where users send videos, photos, and text to friends, with the content either disappearing after a single play, or playable for a 24-hour period if made into a story (which Bolt did).
He currently holds the world record in the 100m and 200m and is the defending Olympic champion.
Snapchat users are viewing videos a combined six billion times per day tripling its usage since May 2015.
