Justin Bieber Keeps it Real with Smoking Video Amid Drug Rumors
In a bold move that seems to poke fun at ongoing speculation regarding his drug use, Justin Bieber shared a lively video on his Instagram Story, showing him puffing on what looked like a joint. The pop star, who just turned 30, showcased the clip while vibing to Don Toliver’s track “Attitude,” grinning from ear to ear as he danced and took puffs in his usual entertaining fashion. The video, posted on February 27, follows recent chatter concerning Bieber’s alleged substance use, which had his fans all worked up.
Just a couple of days prior, the Grammy-winning artist addressed the swirling rumors through his rep, who firmly labeled them “absolutely not true.” The spokesperson called the speculation “exhausting and pitiful,” emphasizing how harmful it is when people cling to negative narratives about his life—especially regarding his mental health journey. It’s important to note that Bieber himself has been open about his challenges with anxiety, depression, and substance abuse in the past.
Things kicked off when eagle-eyed fans noticed Justin wasn’t following his wife, Hailey Bieber, on Instagram. Talk about a social media scandal! Hailey, who the couple welcomed their son Jack with just six months ago, was still following him, leading to widespread concern among fans. Justin later claimed his account had been hacked, saying, “Someone went on my account and unfollowed my wife. S— is getting suss out here.”
This isn’t the first time the star has teased the idea of drug use on his platforms. Just days before the Instagram video, he was seen lip-syncing a rap that casually mentioned being “high.” His friend, also present in the video, appeared to be smoking a cigarette, adding to the intrigue. While he might not be ready to conform to society’s idea of a “squeaky clean” celebrity image, sources close to him assure fans he’s simply being his authentic self. Maybe it’s time the world just lets Bieber live without the judgment?
As the drama continues, one thing is for sure: Justin Bieber is living in the limelight and isn’t shying away from showcasing his life—even if it includes some smoke and mirrors!
