There are actually a completely different set of royalties payed to the performer vs. the songwriter.

Rodney Jerkins is only one of five writers on the song: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/As_Long_as_You_Love_Me_(Justin...

Bieber also has songwriting credit. If the royalty was divided evenly, Bieber would also get 20%. However, it isn't required to divide evenly, and songwriter royalties can be negotiated myriad different ways.
