The pop star received the monkey, then 14 weeks old, as a birthday gift (he turned 19 on March 1) from producer Jamal Rashid (a.k.a. Mally Mall), who has worked with 2 Chainz, Yelawolf and more, according to his website's bio.

A month (and many Instagram photo shoots) later, Mally was seized by German officials at the Munich Airport after Bieber could not provide the proper documentation for bringing the animal into the country.

Since, she's been reportedly safe and sound in a Munich animal sanctuary, according to Germany's Spiegel Online, which also revealed that, while the capuchin was "in good spirits," she was also "constantly clinging to a toy stuffed cat."
