Professor Green thinks Justin Bieber is a "great role model".
The 'Monster' hitmaker - who released his latest studio album 'Growing Up In Public' today (22.09.14) - joked that the singer is "setting a great example to people", seemingly referring to the 20 year old's recent run-ins with the law.
Justin - who was arrested earlier this year for drag-racing and DUI - was referred to by Professor Green as doing "a great job", who also joked young people should "model themselves" on the 'Boyfriend' singer.
He told MTV News at MTV Crashes Derry-Londonderry: "I think Justin Bieber is doing a great job, setting a great example for people.
"I think, as far as child protégés go, kids should really look to him for how to behave and act and all children should model themselves on Justin Bieber and behave just as he does. I think he's a great role model for children."
Professor Green, 30 - real name Stephen Manderson - confessed that the album's name is also intended to be taken with a pinch of salt as he still considers himself to be "quite childish".
He explained: "I came up with the title probably about two or two and a half years ago. And it was quite tongue-in-cheek.
"Obviously in the last 18 months, I've been forced to live out a lot of my life in the public eye and there were quite a few things that happened, some good, some not so good.
"But the growing up part, I guess is still tongue-in-cheek because I wouldn't say that I've grown up that much. I'm still quite childish."

Colin Farrell will star in 'True Detective'.
The 38-year-old actor - who has been linked to the US crime drama since July - has now confirmed he will be portraying one of the lead characters, Detective Martin Eric "Marty" Hart or Detective Rustin Spencer "Rust" Cohle, previously played by Matthew McConaughey and Woody Harrelson.
The Irish born star confessed he was "so excited" about the project and is thrilled that filming is taking place around Los Angeles so he can be close to his children, Henry, 4 and James,11.
He told Ireland's Sunday World: "I'm doing the second series. I'm so excited.
"I know it will be eight episodes and take around four or five months to shoot.
"I know very little about it, but we're shooting in the environs of Los Angeles which is great. It means I get to stay at home and see the kids."
Although further cast details for the second season - which is set to air in summer 2015 - are yet to be released, 'Wedding Crashers' star Vince Vaughan and 'Battleship' actor Taylor Kitsch are also rumoured to be involved in the next instalment of the HBO show.
In addition to new cast members, creator Nic Pizzolato previously revealed that the second season of the Emmy Award-winning drama will be about "hard women, bad men and the secret occult history of the United States transportation system".

Ella Henderson isn't worried about her parents' arrest.
The 18-year-old singer - whose parents Sean, 48, a former car salesman and Michelle, 50, are currently on bail after being arrested on suspicion of money laundering in April last year - confessed it will take a lot more than their recent run-in with the law to break her "strong family".
She told The Mirror newspaper: "We're a very strong family, it takes a lot for me to break down or make me cry, someone would have to be terminally ill for that to happen.
"If I have a break down, it's probably because it's that time of the month. I'm very chilled. Nothing worries me as such.
"Out of everything that goes on in the world, some of the things you think are so huge are not. What is today's news is tomorrow's fish and chip paper, I look at it like that."
The 'Ghost' hitmaker - who also has brothers Patrick and Fraser, as well as a sister, Holly - added that since she shot to fame on 'The X Factor' in 2012 she has relied on her family to support her and keep her grounded.
She explained: "There is nothing that can prepare you for that side of this career, you have to have two sides to you, the performer and the girl who wants to have a private life ... it's about balancing the two.
"I have an amazing team and a supportive family around me, they keep me grounded and surround me with love and positivity, you block everything else out."
Meanwhile, the blonde beauty - who has been touring the United States - also revealed she was shocked by the "mental" reaction of her fans from across the pond when she performed her debut single at the 'Good Morning America' studios in New York.
She said: "It's just been kind of crazy since Ghost came out, the reaction was unexpected. I thought I was going out there to start from the bottom again but there was already a buzz.
"I was at Good Morning America out in the States, there were people in Times Square staring in [the studio]. It was like I was in a gold fish bowl. It was kind of mental.
"America is this huge place and heading out there as a UK artist is always going to be a big deal."

Sarah Silverman will never marry.
The 43-year-old actress - who is in a relationship with 'Masters of Sex' actor Michael Sheen - has laughed off reports she is desperate for the actor to propose, insisting she finds the institution of marriage "barbaric".
She tweeted: "Just read that I wanna get married which is hilarious b/c I will never get married.
"Why would I want the govt involved in my love life? Ew. It's barbaric.(sic)"
Sarah - who previously dated Jimmy Kimmel for five years - spoke out following an article which claimed she had been leaving "pictures of engagement rings all over the place" in a hint that she was ready for Michael to propose.
And the brunette star - who began dating the 45-year-old actor at the beginning of the year - branded the claims "bigoted".
She wrote: ""That s--t never bothers me b/c who cares but I feel like this one is bigoted.
"The Jew girl MUST want a RING! Yich.(sic)"
Sarah - who is vegetarian - previously compared marriage to eating meat, saying it was "gross and f***ing crazy".
She said: "It's just not for me. I'm a vegetarian, but I don't have a problem if you want a hamburger. Marriage, to me, is like eating meat. I think it's gross and f***ing crazy. It's this superbarbaric, old-timey tradition that no one remembers we don't have to do anymore.
"I really do believe in love. I've experienced it, I've had it, so I know it's real."

Jessica Chastain has slammed hackers for the latest spate of nude celebrity photographs leaked online, insisting it is a "violation".
The 37-year-old actress hit out at the Hollywood hackers behind the latest release of topless pictures purportedly of stars such as Amber Heard, Kim Kardashian West and Kate Bosworth, insisting the pictures have been "stolen" rather than "leaked".
Speaking to Sky News, she said: "It's such a violation. To me they're not leaked photos, they're stolen photos.
"Me appearing nude in a film is my choice and I find it so terrible that these actresses have been completely victimised."
The flame-haired star has called on officials to go down hard on the hackers when they are eventually caught.
She added: "Anything sexual which does not have the woman saying 'Yes' is a big problem to me, so I hope that we find out who these people were and we can go after them as hard as we can."
Jessica's comments came after a second wave of images, including pictures believed to be of Avril Lavigne, Gabrielle Union and Rihanna, were leaked onto the internet.
More than 100 celebrities were affected by the scandal last month after an identified hacker stole explicit images and videos from Apple's iCloud service.
Apple said it was "outraged" by the attack and encouraged users to update their accounts with a "strong" password and enable two-step verification.
Stars such as Jennifer Lawrence and Kate Upton were among the victims of the massive privacy breach last month.

The Vamps' Tristan Evans is dating a make-up artist.
The 20-year-old drummer has secretly been with Anastasia Smith for a large part of 2014, and he was insistent that the pair got together after being introduced by a mutual friend rather than a dating website.
He is quoted by the Daily Mirror newspaper as saying: "We met through a mutual friend. Not Tinder or anything."
While Tristan only has eyes for one woman, the boy band - also made up of Connor Ball, James McVey and Brad Simpson - have eyed a collaboration with four females in the shape of Neon Jungle, who are made up of Shereen Cutkelvin, Asami Zdrenka, Jess Plummer and Amira McCarthy.
In the first episode in the new series of Nando's Grills, the pop groups teased the idea of joining forces to create a supergroup and hinted they might even join together in time for a joint-Christmas album.
After The Vamps floated the idea of a possible Christmas album collaboration, Asami joked she thinks an album might be too much and was thinking a single might be more appropriate.

Stephen Fry has been cast in new British film 'Tomorrow', presented by Martin Scorsese.
The 57-year-old entertainer will appear in the new flick alongside musician Joss Stone, 27, as well as Stephanie Leonidas, Paul Kaye and Sebastian Street.
Looking forward to the film - the first directed by Martha Pinson, Scorsese's long-time script supervisor - the 71-year-old said: "I'm honoured to join Martha in her directorial debut.
"Through her vision, the great cast, and dedicated team, this story will resonate for years to come."
The script of 'Tomorrow' centres on the troubles soldiers encounter when they try to reintegrate themselves back into society.
Pinson reflected: "'Tomorrow' is a great script. The dialogue is brilliant and believable; the reversals and surprises are well placed and powerful. The characters and situations are vividly drawn."
She added: "It explores the difficulty of moving on from loses and injuries, to forge a life, to find sustaining work, and experience love.
"This is an acute challenge for a person in their mid to late 20s, which has not been extensively explored. For an injured veteran or someone who is HIV positive it is colossal."
Pinson has previously worked on some of Scorsese's biggest films, including 'The Aviator', 'The Departed' and 'Shutter Island'.

Matt Damon is keen to secure the lead role in Legendary Pictures' 'The Great Wall'. The film, which will explore the mysterious origins of China's historic structure, is to be directed by Zhang Yimou, who made his directorial debut with 'Red Sorghum',...

Andrew Maxwell had a pint thrown at him for joking about Scotland's recent referendum.
The stand-up comedian has admitted he often takes his life in his hands during his gigs but insists the aggression some audience members display only adds to the atmosphere.
Speaking ahead of the Magners Greenwich Comedy Festival, which returns to the National Maritime Museum from the 24th-28th September, he exclusively told BANG Showbiz: "I got a pint thrown at my head in Edinburgh the other week.
"It was because my whole show was about the referendum and pulling apart all the reference.
"One true hero couldn't take it. It lasted five minutes.
"He throws his pint at my head and the crowd goes nuts, instantly about four people throw pints at his head.
"He then tries to backtrack and maintain he attacked me because I was rude to a midget. It's f***ing great."
The star admitted he often tries to do "weird gigs" because he is curious to see how the crowd will react.
He said: "Over the years I've deliberately done weird gigs. I recorded a live album in my hometown Dublin maximum security prison.
"Relatively speaking Greenwich has been relatively normal."
Over the years the star has been threatened with much more than a pint when his gags go wrong, and he joked people don't put enough effort into sending him death threats anymore.
He added: "People used to get local newspapers and sit down for hours on end cutting out different letters and sticking your death threat onto a piece of card.
"It's all Wi-Fi and 3G now, people can just fire off a death threat. You don't even have to put the effort in now. A noble tradition is dying and nobody seems to care!"
The Magners Greenwich Comedy Festival returns from the 24th to 28th September, with the UK's favourite bottled apple cider once again playing a key role in supporting the British comedy scene by taking headline sponsorship of the festival.
This year's line-up also features Rich Hall, Milton Jones, Nina Conti and more, with tickets starting at £15. Book your tickets at Greenwichcomedyfestival.co.uk or follow @MagnersUK to enter daily ticket competitions.

Sam Bailey has named her daughter Miley Beau.
The 'X Factor' winner - who shot to fame after taking the crown on the talent show last December - and husband Craig Pearson welcomed their third child into the world earlier this month and have now revealed the tot's name, but insist the moniker isn't a tribute to 'Wrecking Ball' star Miley Cyrus.
Sam told Britain's HELLO! magazine: "I just really like the name."
The 'Skyscraper' hitmaker - who also has children Brooke, nine, and Tommy, five, with Craig - also confirmed her 'X Factor' mentor Sharon Osbourne has agreed to be Miley's godmother.
She said: "Never in a million years did I imagine I'd be having a baby whose godmother is Sharon Osbourne".
And Sam admitted she had "always" dreamed of having three children but decided not to expand her family further because she couldn't afford another.
She said: "Before 'The X Factor' we couldn't afford it.
"So I was resigned to the fact I would just have the two. Then next thing you know I find out I'm pregnant and I was like, 'Yes. I'm finally going to get my wish.' "
