Justin Bieber sparks fresh concern over wellbeing with ‘clean man' post
Justin Bieber has sparked fresh concern over his wellbeing after reposting a clip rejecting the idea of living life as a 'clean man'. The 31-year-old pop star shared the video to his Instagram Stories amid ongoing speculation about his alleged drug use, with the footage featuring a moment from rapper DMX's 2013 appearance on the US talk show Iyanla, Fix My Life, in which the late performer — whose real name was Earl Simmons — dismissed the idea of complete sobriety. In the clip, host Iyanla Vanzant, 71, asks DMX if he wants to 'live his life as a clean man'. DMX responds: 'When you say clean – no weed? No drinking? Nothing?' Vanzant replies: 'Nothing. You need to be a clear, pure vessel for the voice of God.' The rapper answers: 'I think I'm exactly where I need to be with God.' DMX died in April 2021 at the age of 50 after suffering a cocaine-induced heart attack. The video, originally broadcast more than a decade ago, has resurfaced after being reshared by Justin without comment – a move that has drawn criticism and concern from fans. The repost comes as speculation continues to swirl online about Justin's own alleged drug use, with some social media users noting his increasingly erratic public appearances and behaviour. In February, a representative for Justin denied what they described as 'harmful' allegations about the singer, telling TMZ: 'Despite the obvious truth, people are committed to keeping negative, salacious, harmful narratives alive.' The spokesperson added Justin had been in a 'good place' with his wife, Hailey Bieber, 27, following the birth of their son, Jack Blues, in August 2024. They also said 2024 had been 'very transformative' for the singer, explaining he had ended 'several close friendships and business relationships that no longer served him'. Despite the reassurances, Justin has continued to share photos of himself smoking – including while snowboarding and at Coachella - and recently posted sweat-drenched selfies that he captioned as part of a detox, though without further explanation. Fans took to Instagram to comment on the latest post, with one writing: 'Stay healthy and happy,' while another added: 'Keep pushing.'

Justin Bieber hints at drug use in one of his latest social media posts
used Instagram to make an indirect statement about drug use. On Sunday the 31-year-old pop star — who could be going on tour soon — shared a video featuring the late rapper DMX in a conversation with Iyanla Vanzant, during which he said he did not want to be sober. In the excerpt, taken from a 2013 episode of Iyanla: Fix My Life, Vanzant asked DMX if he wanted to 'live your life as a clean man,' to which he gave a defiant answer. 'No weed, no drinking, nothing?' he shot back before asking, 'Why would I?' 'Because it makes you a clear, pure vessel for the voice of god,' Vanzant reasoned before DMX replied, 'I think I'm exactly where I need to be with god.' Bieber didn't offer any addition context or a personal statement about the tidbit, which he reposted from the Los Angeles-based weed dispensary account Gassy. He has been outspoken about his faith in god throughout the years, and his ongoing close relationship with his Churchome pastor Judah Smith. The father-of-one — who shares nearly one-year-old son Jack Blues Bieber with wife Hailey Bieber — has also not shied away from publicly posting social media photos with bongs. Recreational marijuana use is legal in California, where the singer resides with his family. While fans have expressed concern for Justin's health this year, a representative for the Swag music artist denied he is engaging in any illegal drug use. 'The recurring narrative that Justin is using hard drugs is absolutely not true,' his rep told TMZ in February, adding that his client is actually 'in one of the best places in his life.' It was added at the time that he was focused on 'actively parenting his newborn son' and working on new music. Bieber's rep also explained that the Canadian-born star had endured a 'very transformative' past year, in which 'he ended several close friendships and business relationships that no longer served him.' View this post on Instagram A post shared by GASSY (@gassy) Bieber released his surprise seventh studio album, Swag, to critical acclaim on July 11. Several songs make mention of his public persona, personal struggles, and his commitment to his wife Hailey and their baby son. There is also a theme of interludes featuring comedian Druski, during which Justin engages in candid 'therapy sessions' with the social media star. Now, there are rumors that the music sensation will tour Australia following the successful album release. Justin has not yet confirmed whether he will be touring the album, nor has Frontier Touring, who told Rolling Stone it had no information on any potential Australian tour dates. The hitmaker previously cancelled his Justice world tour in 2022 for health reasons.

Holkar stadium to shine brighter with LED lights from Oct
Indore: The iconic Holkar stadium is all set to dazzle under a new lighting system as its old metal halide floodlights are being replaced with LED lights ahead of the ICC Women's World Cup 2025 in Oct. The upgrade is not just about brighter lights; it's a leap toward international standards, enabling features like instant illumination and dynamic DMX light shows, which were previously impossible at the venue. DMX light shows have become a popular attraction among spectators and are now a regular feature at major sporting events. For nearly two decades, the stadium operated with six high-mast floodlights powered by metal halide lamps, supported by synchronised diesel generator sets to avoid power interruptions. These lamps, which took up to 30 minutes to fully illuminate, are now making way for modern LED systems known for their superior energy efficiency, sharper focus, enhanced colour rendering, and immediate switch-on capability. "The floodlights are being replaced with LED systems to improve intensity, coverage, and quality. Tenders have been finalised and installation is underway. A BCCI inspection team has already reviewed the preparations," MPCA president Abhilash Khandekar told TOI. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Villas For Sale in Dubai Might Surprise You Dubai villas | search ads Get Deals Undo The new system will also allow the stadium to host DMX light shows, synchronised light displays often seen at high-profile international matches. While Gwalior's new stadium has already featured such shows during the Madhya Pradesh League, this will be a first for Holkar stadium, significantly enhancing the live experience for fans and broadcasters alike. Apart from the lighting upgrade, other improvements include repairs to damaged seating and minor civil renovations to ready the venue for the global tournament. Holkar stadium will host five matches during the ICC Women's World Cup: Australia vs New Zealand (Oct1), New Zealand vs South Africa (Oct 6), India vs England (Oct 19), Australia vs England (Oct 22), and Australia vs South Africa (Oct 25). The tournament will run from Sept 30 to Nov 2 across India, with Indore rejoining the international cricket circuit in style.
