The Canadian teen heartthrob who has been the center of a paternity claim is said to have taken a DNA test to disprove the claims. Beiber was alleged by one of his fans Mariah Yeater to be the father of her 3 month old son.

Yeater claims that she slept with the singer backstage after one of his concerts in Los Angeles in October last year. But after making the claims which were vehemently denied by Beiber she controversially dropped the paternity suit earlier this month after her mother said that the child was from a relationship with an earlier boyfriend and after she asked friends to delete all text messages she has sent them with regard to the paternity suit.

Justin Beiber who is currently in a relationship with Selena Gomes despite rumors of a split, was not obliged to take the DNA test but sources have said that he wants to go ahead with it and that he will be fine with it. Yeater will have to submit a DNA sample from her son Tristyn for comparison.

Meantime Beiber’s team is considering taking legal action against Mariah Yeater for the allegations made by her against the singer.
