Back in December, rumors hit that Justin Bieber and the newly-single Kourtney Kardashian were hooking up, though those rumors were never confirmed. In a Dec. 17 interview set to air on syndicated radio program The Bert Show tomorrow (Jan. 6), Bieber finally offers an answer on their relationship. "I'm being used, man. What can I say?" he jokingly responds. When host Bert Weiss asks, "Anything there?" Bieber replies, "Nah, we'll leave it at that."

Bieber and the Kardashian/Jenner clan have a long history, something the singer points out during the interview. "No, no, but for real, she's great. I've known [the family] for years."

The conversation then turns to ex Selena Gomez when Weiss shows Bieber an Instagram of Gomez's "Hands To Myself" male costar. "What is she trying to do to my heart right now? I'm just kidding. She loves me. I love her, too, always. Who's this guy? He's a joke! This guy's a chump. Nah, I guess he's pretty handsome actually – I can't even lie... I just want her to be happy."

Of course, Kourtney appears to be focusing on her family, while Bieber is vacationing with his "friend" and model Hailey BaldwinAs for 2016, Bieber wants to kick his smoking habit in time for his Purpose world tour. "My New Year's resolution is to quit smoking. It's not healthy and I don't want to be someone who people are like, 'Yo, he's smoking – he's a bad influence.' It's my journey, go live your journey. This is my vice right now. Let me be, I'll figure it out." Mark his words.
