Justin Bieber posted a concerning video on Instagram, just days after he was forced to deny that he was on “hard drugs”.
As you might have seen, the 30-year-old pop star was photographed walking in New York, and images of his appearance quickly went viral on social media.
According to the Daily Mail, Bieber appeared “haggard and hollow-eyed,” leading to speculation about his well-being.
Fans took to social media to express their concern.
“Oh no, he looks beat to hell. What happened?” one person wrote.
Another commented: “Fame did a number on him. My heart goes out to him. He never really had a chance at any sense of normalcy.”
“Bro needs help tbh this ain’t the star we knew,” a third added, while another said: “No, he’s genuinely going through it. I’ve said that for months. It’s so sad.”
Others speculated that the singer had been taking “hard drugs”.
In response to the speculation, Bieber’s team released a statement to TMZ, strongly denying the claims.
“The recurring narrative that Justin is using hard drugs is absolutely not true,” the representative said, adding that Bieber is actually “in one of the best places in his life.”
The What Do You Mean singer, who welcomed his first child, Jack Blues, with wife Hailey Bieber in August 2024, is reportedly focusing on fatherhood and his music.
The representative also noted that Bieber has undergone a “very transformative” year, cutting ties with certain friends and business relationships that “no longer serve him.”
The rumors, they added, are “exhausting and pitiful” and reflect a persistent attempt to push “negative, salacious, harmful narratives” despite the facts.
Bieber has now sparked further concern with an Instagram video he uploaded on Tuesday.
“I fly like a fly guy, I fly high like a bagpipe, I go high like a bad guy,” Bieber rapped alongside a friend who was smoking a cigarette.
Fans quickly reacted to the clip, with one commenting: “I’m so desperate for new music, I’ll take anything at this point like this gold right now !!!!!!! GO BIEBS.”

However, some people were very concerned.
One person wrote: “Justin STOP with the drugs! You have a wife and child now! You have come so far to watch it all crumble!”
A second added: “I don’t like that dude he’s with. He gives me bad vibes.”
While a third said: “Where are his parents? Family? Someone? This kid is not ok.”
For what it’s worth, there is no evidence that Bieber has been taking drugs.
