Bieber described the issue in no uncertain terms, saying that if he accidentally presses the dictation button after sending a text and it interrupts his music again, he would find everyone at Apple and put them in a rear naked choke hold.

The post quickly gained traction, amassing over 425K likes, 11.7K comments, nearly 7K retweets, and more than 71K shares. Bieber even added his own song, All I Can Take, as a soundtrack to the post, underlining his frustration through music.

Fans reacted enthusiastically to the post. One commented on the dramatic rear naked choke hold statement, calling it wild, while another joked that Apple employees might hang a screenshot of it in their offices.

He urged Apple to release an update to remove or fix the button so users could enjoy uninterrupted music while messaging.
