Pop star Justin Bieber has faced drug use concerns again after fans noticed a very telling detail in his latest post amid claims he 'in one of the best places in his life'
Justin Bieber has been hit with more concern from his fans after they noticed a very telling detail in his latest post. The pop star, 31, has faced claims about his alleged drug use in recent months as well as fears for his marriage to Hailey Bieber.
He has been frank about his addiction issues in the past and during an episode of Justin Bieber: Seasons, Justin confessed that he started using marijuana when he was only "12 or 13.'
‌
After struggling to grow up in the public eye Justin's substance misuse escalated to "pretty heavy drugs," with the star also abusing alcohol as a coping mechanism. By 2021 he started working on sobriety, worrying he "was dying" due to his years of issues.
‌
In recent weeks, Justin has sparked concern again after a series of social media snaps. Back in March, he shared six very similar photos of himself appearing to use a bong to smoke marijuana.
Now, Justin has taken to Instagram again where he shared a photo of Australian singer Eddie Benjamin, who was sat playing an acoustic guitar. The Baby hitmaker could be seen in the background of the snap as he appeared to be using what looked like a glass bong while sat in an open doorway.
Another picture from the same day showed Justin, who shares 10-month old son Jack Blues with Hailey, stood in a red hoodie next to Eddie, with the large glass bong on the floor next to him.
The apparent bong didn't go unnoticed by his fans, who have been open in their concern for the star. One said: "Thats a huge bong." Another added: "The Bong in the background."
Someone else commented: "All I see is a couple of potheads. Always thought @justinbieber was better than that. At least keep it out of the public view. You're not setting a good example for your young fans. Your standards appear low."
‌
A fourth wrote: "The bong bigger than him." Justin has shared drug content in recent months, rapping about being high and filming himself smoking.
Despite the worrying content, however, Justin's reps said rumours of him using hard drugs were "absolutely not true,' and that he was 'simply in one of the best places in his life".
Speaking to TMZ, Justin's rep said the past year has been "very transformative for him as he ended several close friendships and business relationships that no longer served him."
‌
They added that fans' concerns about his physical and mental health are "exhausting and pitiful and shows that despite the obvious truth, people are committed to keeping negative, salacious, harmful narratives alive."
Many have also been concerned for Justin after a string of worrying uploads shared on his social media. He said how he was " hating" himself and struggling with hate for others, writing: 'How couldn't we feel hate from all of the hurt we've experienced."
‌
Hailey and Justin have also faced claims of strains on their marriage amid the concern from fans. In recent months, speculation surrounding their marriage has been rife, with reports suggesting that they are heading for divorce.
Earlier this year, it was reported that Justin had unfollowed Hailey on Instagram but it later emerged that the Somebody To Love hitmaker had been hacked on the platform.
Justin soon followed Hailey again, and explained: " Someone went on my account and unfollowed my wife. S**t is getting suss out here."
