Justin Bieber, along with the other 30-year-olds, managed to raise a few eyebrows yet again after coming online with a video of himself smoking on Instagram. Justin Bieber hitmaker appeared blurry-eyed in the clip, which lasted for about a minute, as he inhaled and exhaled smoke from what appeared to be a joint. Justin Bieber Sparks Concern After Smoking Joint Video – Fans express worry as the singer shares a clip of himself smoking amid ongoing concerns about his well-being.
In the montage, Bieber, looking shabby in a black beanie and hoodie, was seen with his eyes closed and a broad smile dancing. He sported some facial hair, adding to a relaxed but noticeably different appearance.
Response to Recent Speculation?
The video has appeared on the heels of continuous speculation about his well-being, especially after his appearance last week in Los Angeles at his wife Hailey Bieber’s Rhode Skin pop-up event. Critics had condemned his actions as “odd,” going on to describe the singer’s erratic movements, balance shifting, and constant goofy grinning whilst interacting with a fan.
In fact, just two days prior, Bieber had posted a clip showcasing a rap concerning being “high.” He was bare-chested and rapping aboard the plane with a bag of chips, saying, “I like a fly guy; I fly high like a magpie; I go high like I’m that guy.”
Fans moved pretty fast to social media to show their worries about his appearance and behaviors, with some urging him to seek rehabilitation for the sake of his six-month-old son, Jack Blues.
“Stop, Justin. You are a new daddy,” read one comment.
“Jesus loves you, bro! Don’t go back to your old ways!” wailed another.
Denial of Drug Use and Struggles with Fatherhood
The representative of Bieber refuted all these concerns and hard drug-use allegations. In an interview with TMZ, the rep stated:
“The recurring narrative that Justin is using hard drugs is absolutely not true. He is actually in one of the best places in his life.”
The rep further explained that the singer has been grappling with lack of sleep due to keeping his baby son with Hailey. Bieber also recently posted a prayer on social media indicating reflection on personal growth and change: “IT’S TIME TO GROW UP! CHANGING IS ABOUT LETTING GO! NOT TRYING HARDER!”
However, insiders are saying his behavior changed quite a lot over the last year. A friend of the singer’s told DailyMail.com:
“He’s not working out like he used to, doesn’t seem to eat like he once did, and people can see he has lost weight. It’s like he doesn’t care about his well-being anymore.”
Concern for Hailey Bieber Raising
Reports say that Hailey Bieber is “deeply concerned” for Justin but doesn’t know what to do. The source mentioned:
“She doesn’t know where to turn. It’s not like she can ask his family for help-or hers, for that matter. They’ve, both of them, gone through estrangement from them.”
Above all, Hailey is trying unsuccessfully to reach Justin, who has been withdrawing from some relationships, both personal and business.
Connection with Sean Diddy Combs Scandal
Another cause that might be influencing Bieber is his previous relationship link with Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs, who got arrested last year because of sex trafficking and racketeering allegations. According to a source, the scandal gave Bieber deep unrest:
“He is so disturbed by the Diddy news and is u willing to process it or talk about it, so he has closed off. A lot of the people who were instrumental in helping to build his career were close to Diddy, so it’s completely thrown him.”
Earlier Issues with Mental Health and Addiction
In previous times, Bieber did define that he has gone through the difficulty of mental wellness and the abuse of substances. “I had times where I was feeling really, really suicidal, and then just dealing with-just constant pain,” he said in his 2020 YouTube documentary Justin Bieber: Next Chapter.
Addiction had plagued Bieber from a very young age. In the other documentary, Justin Bieber: Sessions, he revealed:
“I first started smoking when I was 12 or 13. Then I got onto pretty heavy drugs.”
He had spent some time heavily dependent on alcohol, MDMA, psychedelics mushrooms, and even lean (a mixture of codeine cough syrup, soda, and candy). After feeling like he was “dying,” he eventually decided to get sober.
Hailey later speculated that his substance use was an attempt to self-medicate his crippling anxiety.
Rumor of Marriage and the Instagram Incident
He was briefly unfollowed by Hailey last month for purported marital woes, which surfaced along with hazy reports concerning his health. Later on, he clarified that his account was hacked.
Final Say
Bleary-Eyed Justin Bieber Puffs ‘Joint’ in New Video – The singer’s latest Instagram post fuels speculation about his health and state of mind.
Despite assurances from Bieber’s representatives that he is in a good place, scepticism from fans looms. The signs of such bleak reality would only lead to the reckoning that he hides dark days ahead, albeit “seeing it all through”. But that’s not all—his fans are watching and hoping for the best.
