As much as we love Justin Bieber in all his cheeky glory, apparently he was feeling a little bit guilty over his recent naked selfie. But it has nothing to do with Instagram's posting policy!

Bieber posted a photo of himself fully clothed and wrote:
    "Hey I deleted the photo of my butt on Instagram not because I thought it was bad but someone close to me's daughter follows me and she was embarrassed that she saw my butt and I totally wasn't thinking in that aspect. And I felt awful that she felt bad. To anyone I may have offended I'm so sorry. It was completely pure hearted as a joke but didn't take in account there are littles following me!!! Love u guys."

Um, is Bieber growing up?! Because it certainly seems that way!

A number of other stars have posted nudies (or partial nudes, anyway) on Instagram over the years, and while some (Rihanna, Chrissy Tiegen, Chelsea Handler) have dealt with the photos being removed, we're pretty surprised IG didn't take offense to Bieber's buns. Then again, how could you?
