A rapper involved in controversy with both Justin Bieber and Selena Gomez filed a request for a restraining order against the Believe singer, claiming he is to blame for the thousands of death threats he allegedly received from Beliebers.

King Kevi filed the request after Bieber allegedly tweeted his phone number and opened the line for him to receive numerous death threats, according to TMZ. The rapper alleged that the Beauty and a Beat singer posted the tweet as vengeance for media reports about their fake friendship.

"Forty million crazy fans from all over the world are saying they want to stab me, come to my house and are giving out my address," he told E! News. "Thankfully, I have a guard at the gate. It doesn't make me feel safe when you have 40 million people against me and all know my number and address... [Bieber] is trying to disown me just to protect his image."

The rapper is trying to secure a 150-yard restraining order. A judge denied Kevi's petition for now, but set a hearing for July 10 before making a final ruling.

Bieber's camp told the gossip website the singer never posted the tweet with Kevi's phone number and a source told E! News that Bieber and Kevi "were never friends. [Kevi] totally made it up."

The singer's camp said he has "never met [Pederson] before" and "doesn't know who he is," according to GossipCop. A source said the rapper is "delusional" and a "complete liar."

King Kevi was involved in a controversy with Bieber's, now ex-girlfriend, earlier in the year. He was accused of staging pictures with Selena Gomez at a party she was having in her house, and also for having relations with her around the same time that she was still dating Bieber.

At the time he released a statement that included how loyal he was to Bieber. He wrote, "I don't even know Selena like that we've met maybe a few times through mutual friends and I wouldn't do that to Justin."
