While Corden was filming a new episode of the show with Justin Bieber, a fan spotted the TV host and Justin Bieber in Los Angeles and filmed what he saw.
The Twitter user posted: "Saw James corden and Justin Bieber filming carpool karaoke and this is why I have trust issues – he isn't even driving!"

Not true! We only use a rig when we are doing a "stunt" as part of the Carpool - when it would be impossible for James to drive! This has occurred only maybe 4 times in 50 or so carpools... Safety is key! https://t.co/kfJXqZqEHq
As the video shows, the Range Rover is on wheels and is being towed by a truck.
After the tweet went viral, the executive producer of the talk show Ben Winston said the claim wasn't true.
"Not true! We only use a rig when we are doing a 'stunt' as part of the Carpool – when it would be impossible for James to drive! This has occurred only maybe 4 times in 50 or so carpools…Safety is key!"
Corden backed up the producer and explained the only occasions where he doesn't drive during the Carpool Karaoke segment is when they're doing something that is unsafe.
Winston posted the clip of Corden speaking about the controversy on Twitter: "It's time for the lies to stop. Glad we can finally talk about this."
The TV host listed a dance routine or a costume change as examples of unsafe scenarios.
Corden admitted he was in a way grateful for the scandal.
"Look, I'm just shocked that I've something that's upset people more than Cats," he says.
