Justin Bieber is confident he’s no father, said TMZ.com. The teen singer, 17, recently took a DNA test to determine whether he’d impregnated Mariah Yeater, the 20-year-old fan who claims he’s her unborn baby’s dad. Appearing this week on the Late Show With David Letterman, Bieber said he isn’t worried. “I could smell a weasel,” said the singer in regard to Yeater’s claim. “Being in the spotlight, people can say whatever.” Sources say Yeater’s ex-boyfriend, Robbie Powell, now believes he is the baby’s father, and wants to take a DNA test because he‘s tired of Yeater using the baby for media attention.
