Justin Bieber's latest social media post has left fans extremely concerned about his health.
Yesterday, Justin shared photos of himself smoking from a bong while sitting on an e-bike.
The six pictures had no context or caption attached.
The post comes as the 'Sorry' singer celebrated his 31st birthday on March 1st, with a boys' trip to Idaho, sharing a string of Instagram posts from the getaway.
Fans flooded the comments with concern and questions about Justin's wellbeing.
“Brother, this is harmful to your health,” one person wrote.
“I love your music, but it saddens me that you’re already a father, struggling with your illness, and still smoking weed,” said another.
A third simply asked: “What’s going on with you, Justin?”
While some criticised him, others defended Justin, arguing that marijuana use is harmless.
“Why does it surprise y’all to see a celebrity smoke? Like, 75% of the world does. There are so many people who smoke, and he’s obviously not doing it in front of his son,” one person said.
“My parents smoked throughout my childhood, and I never knew until I was older. They raised me just fine. Y’all are sensitive.”
“He’s just smoking some weed. Everyone needs to chill tf out, lol,” added another.
“JB, do you! It’s literally no one’s business,” a third fan wrote. “I’m sure you handle and take care of yours just fine!”
Concerns about Justin's behavior grew after he was spotted acting “bizarre.”
Yesterday, he also posted a video where he repeatedly licked the corners of his mouth, sparking speculation about drug use.
“He looks like he's on drugs,” one commenter wrote, while another added: “Idk what he’s on, but he’s high. Poor Justin.”
Someone else asked: “Are you ok?😢”
A fourth person wrote: “Concerning… His last posts have been very odd.”
He was also seen acting unusually at Hailey’s recent Rhode Skincare event.
Though a representative for Justin denied any hard drug use, it’s clear he is still smoking weed.
They told TMZ that rumours about Justin’s drug use were “exhausting and pitiful,” insisting that some people were “committed to keeping negative, salacious, harmful narratives alive.”
His latest post may even be a response to speculation about the substances he’s using.
In August of last year, Justin and Hailey, welcomed their first child - their son named Jack Blues.
While many fans worry about how much time and care Justin is putting into his family, his rep said he was in a “great place” with Hailey and that this year had been “very transformative” for him.
They added that he had “ended several close friendships and business relationships that no longer served him.” Justin has been open in the past about struggling with substance abuse, including a past addiction to pills, and marijuana. "I decided to stop because I felt like I was legit dying," he said in a 2020 interview for his documentary 'Justin Bieber: Seasons'. "People don't know how serious it got, like it was legit crazy scary."
As fans, we can only hope he’s still on that “transformative” path and has the right support around him.
We’d hate to see his health and wellbeing take a step backward.
