Marilyn Manson has decided to take another bite out of Justin Bieber.

After quelling reports of a feud with Bieber via the healing powers of "The Howard Stern Show," the "Antichrist Superstar" rocker once again swiped at the "Purpose" singer, calling him a "girl" who has the brain of a "squirrel."

Manson made the assessment while speaking with Dallas radio host Cindy Scull on Friday.

"I still think you should go kick Justin Bieber's ass," Scull told the musician. "Who the f— does that guy think he is?"

"He's in some sort of sexual religious cult with an Asian version of Dave Navarro, apparently," Manson replied. "The guy doesn't wear a shirt."

"I don't like to fight with girls," Manson added.

Pressed further on the topic of Bieber, Manson replied, "I don't know, because I don't know how to use the mind of a squirrel, so I'm not really sure exactly what he's thinking."

Reports that Manson was beefing with Bieber in an interview that Manson gave to Billboard, in which he recalled a run-in with the "Baby" singer.

"I ran into him in some fancy bar where a lot of celebrities — a word that I despise — go. I saw a little girl in a pink hoodie with blonde hair, and it turns out to be Bieber," Manson told Billboard last month. "I sit down, and I say, 'Hey, so you wore my shirt and everything onstage.' He was one of those touchy people that hit you when they talk, and he comes up to about dick height. Then he goes, 'I made you relevant again.'"

However, on Stern's show, Manson dismissed reports that the two had feuded.

"We are cool. People just made that shirt stuff into a fake feud. Let's turn it upside-down and f– the press and do something together. It will be the best," Manson said. "And don't apologize, you weren't an a–hole. They asked if you were and I sort of agreed. I wasn't out to get you."

Manson also said he promised Bieber not to "s— talk" about him on Stern's show, to which Bieber allegedly replied: "Well thanks, LOL."

Looks like somebody might have gotten the last laugh.
