Pop star Justin Bieber, 21, was reportedly put in a chokehold and then kicked out of Coachella by security on Sunday, April 12.

According to a blurry TMZ video report, the pop singer and his crew were trying to enter Drake's concert through the artist's entrance and were stopped by security because "the area was at capacity."

It seems Bieber and his crew had the proper credentials to be in the area, but still, the security wouldn't allow them to enter. The video showed Bieber tried to explain to security that if he stood in with the big crowd, he would be "bombarded by fans" and that it was Drake who had invited him to the show. The security however still wouldn't let him through. When Bieber insisted, the security got pissed.

During the commotion, a female staff member from Coachella came up to the singer and said she will escort Bieber and his entourage through the artist's entrance, grabbing Bieber by the arm.

Just as they were entering, a Coachella security guard quickly put Bieber in a chokehold from behind.  Then chaos ensued as Beiber's crew confronted the security.  Bieber was then told to leave the festival and he finally conceded.

According to sources, Bieber's legal team is considering taking legal action against the Coachella security.

Just a few days ago, an Argentine judge issued a warrant of arrest for Bieber's "immediate detention" for an alleged attack by Bieber's bodyguard on a photographer in Buenos Aires in 2013.  The attack was supposedly on the singer's command. In November, the Canadian-born was ordered to appear in the Argentinian court for questioning, but he never responded.
