Justin Bieber has vowed to follow through with a meeting arranged by Barack Obama to a fan whose father was killed in the 9/11 terrorist attacks.
14-year-old Payton Wall reached out to the president after her request to see the 'Baby' singer face to face was snubbed by the young superstar's team.
WENN reports that she then received an invitation from the White House to a Ground Zero ceremony marking the death of Osama Bin Laden last week, where Obama pledged to organise a meeting with her idol.
Despite skepticism from the media over his promise, TMZ claims that Obama contacted Bieber the same day and got the Never Say Never star to commit to the one-on-one during the US leg of his 'My World' tour.
However, Payton's mother Diane has since shared with the New York Daily News her doubts about the meeting ever coming to fruition.
She said: "It would be nice if [Payton] gets to meet Justin Bieber. We don't know much about it right now. I don't want to get her hopes up."
Obama and Bieber, who were recently named the two most influential figures in social media, were said to have 'hung out' in the Oval Office last year.
