Justin Bieber’s Cryptic DMX Repost Raises Fans’ Drug Use Concerns
by Jaden Patel
Ah yes, another thrilling day in the human circus.
Justin Bieber left his followers squinting at their screens when he quietly reposted a clip from a 2013 episode of Iyanla Vanzant: Fix My Life. The Instagram story featured DMX in deep discussion with Iyanla Vanzant about choosing clean living. Bieber added no caption, no emoji, just the audio and video, giving fans ample room to fill in the blanks.
In the original footage, Vanzant presses DMX asking if he wants to live clean meaning no weed, no alcohol, no nothing. The rapper’s response was immediate and pointed: When you say clean no weed no drinking nothing DMX asked back. When Iyanla clarified that she meant being a clear, pure vessel for the voice of God, he declared he was exactly where he needed to be with his faith. The exchange ends with a shrug and a sense of resolved defiance.
Tragically, DMX passed away in April 2021 at age fifty, following complications from a cocaine-induced heart attack. The rapper’s legacy now includes this soulful moment of doubt and decision, which Bieber has apparently chosen to highlight. It remains unclear whether the singer is signaling solidarity with DMX’s theme of divine acceptance or hinting at his own struggles with substance use.
Fans immediately flooded Twitter and Instagram, debating whether Bieber’s repost was an admission of personal challenges or a philosophical nod to spiritual resilience. Some pointed out that Bieber’s camp told TMZ in February that rumors of hard drug use were categorically false, a statement that still echoes in discussions. Yet definitions of drug use vary: many view marijuana and alcohol as minor vices, not hard drugs.
Rumors have followed Bieber since his breakout, from claims of cocaine use to hip-hop-style party lifestyle gossip. His Instagram story appeared without context, fueling speculation that he might have little regard for public relations spin right now. Meanwhile, Bieber has been teasing new music and speaking openly about mental health in recent interviews, creating a backdrop of personal evolution and artistic reinvention.
The timing is striking. Bieber has toured less frequently and limited his social media engagement since announcing breaks to focus on family and well-being. Yet this move feels more cryptic than casual. Is he confessing to ongoing battles with substances? Or simply using DMX’s words to highlight the idea that faith can coexist with imperfection?
With no follow-up comment from Bieber or his representatives, the mystery remains intact. Fans and pundits will keep refreshing Bieber’s story feed, looking for any sign of clarity. What exactly does “clean” mean to him these days?
So there you have it. Consider your conspiracy theories properly fueled.
