Nude photos of Justin Bieber have exploded onto the Internet.

The 21-year-old "What Do You Mean?" singer was recently photographed in his birthday suit while standing out on his balcony during a vacation he took to Bora Bora with beauty blogger and model Jayde Pierce, according to E! Online.

On Wednesday, Oct. 7 the New York Daily News published censored versions of these photos, which also see the singer swimming in his private pool.

Since the release of the salacious photographs, Bieber hasn't made any comments to the press about them or his possible romantic ties to Pierce. However, he previously posted photos on Instagram of himself clothed during the island getaway.

"People think Justin must be a brat and arrogant, but he's nothing like that," Pierce said to The Mirror. "He's a really tactile guy. He loves cuddles."

Bieber first began speaking to Pierce through her Instagram account.

"I saw there was a tick by his name showing it's an official account," Pierce said.

"I thought, 'Sh*t, Justin Bieber just messaged me.' I have no idea how he came to look at my page. I was at a family party in London at the time and I was like, 'What?' I said to my friend, 'Justin Bieber just messaged me -- look.'"

The pair were seen spending time together in May; however, the British model says the two are "just friends."

"Honestly, most of the time we spent chatting. Nothing more. He'd tell me, 'You don't need makeup. You look pretty naturally.' And he loved my British accent," she said.

"I definitely fancied him, too."

Pierce has also shied away from commenting on the risqué photographs that have leaked online of the singer.

Bieber previously dated pop star Selena Gomez from 2010 to 2013.

The singer is set to release his fourth studio album, "Purpose," on Nov. 13. So far the only single released from the album is "What Do You Mean?"
