Justin Bieber addresses drug use in cryptic social media post amid fan concern
Canadian singer Justin Bieber has reposted a clip of DMX refusing sobriety without explanation, prompting speculation about his own stance on drug use Justin Bieber has subtly addressed drug use on Instagram this week by sharing a throwback clip of the late DMX refusing sobriety in a 2013 episode of Iyanla: Fix My Life. When asked if he wanted to live clean, DMX fired back: 'No weed, no drinking, nothing? Why would I?' He added: 'I think I'm exactly where I need to be with God.' Bieber, 31, didn't add any caption or explanation to the video, which was originally posted by Los Angeles dispensary Gassy. The singer, who had been open about his Christian faith and bond with Churchome pastor Judah Smith, has frequently posted images involving marijuana, though always within the bounds of California's legal recreational use. Concerns about Bieber's health have circulated this year, but his representatives have continued to deny speculation of hard drug use, telling TMZ in February: 'The recurring narrative that Justin is using hard drugs is absolutely not true." The Baby hitmaker is reportedly focused on music and fatherhood following a major reset in his personal life. However, it's not the first time Bieber has posted about drug use. Back in March, he left fans more concerned than ever after seeming to take drugs in an Instagram post - with the star also appearing to have ditched his wedding ring in the snaps at the time amid concerns about his marriage to Hailey Bieber. In his past post, Justin shared six very similar photos of himself appearing to use a bong to smoke marijuana. The shots showed the Canadian singer sitting on a bike, with several quad bikes parked behind him. Justin kept his head down and covered with a hood, layering his hoodie with a navy and purple jacket, paired with loose black trousers and light brown boots. At the time, the singer made a clear glass bong the star of the photos, alternating between lighting it and blowing out huge streams of smoke. If the photos weren't clear enough, he chose the song Hits from the Bong by Cypress Hill to play in the background It comes after Bieber surprised fans by dropping a new album titled SWAG. The Baby singer released new music, with tracks including Therapy Sessions, Dadz Love and Devotion, amongst others, last week. In his emotional album - which some fans are describing as his best work yet - Justin opened up about his own feelings and emotions at length, where he and his collaborators sang and spoke about their emotions. Justin has concerned fans as of late with his erratic social media posts, and there have even been rumours he has split from his wife, Hailey Bieber. However, it seems like they are stronger than ever as he shared a snap of them and their son to mark the album release. In his song All I Can Take, Justin sings about "no one listening" and talks about the "symptoms of his sensitivity". He explains in the lyrics: "These symptoms of my sensitivity / Feels worser knowin' no one's listening / This is it, I can't change, Lord knows I try." In another part of the song, he sings about all he can take, as he shares: "And it's all I can take (In this moment) / And it's all I can take (All I can take) / And it's all I can take (In this moment)." In Daisies, he talks about whether someone loves him or not and his own fears about the future of a bond with someone else. He makes no specific reference to any relationship including that of his wife Hailey Bieber. In the song, he sings, "Throwin' petals like, "Do you love me or not?" / Head is spinnin', and it don't know when to stop / You said "Forever," babe, did you mean it or not? / Hold on, hold on." In his track Go Baby, Justin sings about supporting someone else as they struggle. He promises them they can cry on his shoulder whenever they need and that they "don't need to pretend" they're ok. "When sunlight turns to shadow and it gets hard to face / Like water to a flower, babe, I know you need the rain / Nothing needs to work out and nothing needs to break / Don't need to pretend that you're okay," he sings. "So cry on my shoulder, just turn into me / Cry on my shoulder whenever you need it / You better believe it that I can hold all the weight and shrivel inside." And in his track Walking Away, Justin worryingly sings about being "defenceless" and wanting to change. "Days go by so fast, don't wanna spend them with you / So tell me why you're throwing stones at my back / You know I'm defenceless," he sings, whilst in another bit, he adds: "I made you a promise / I told you I'd change / It's just human nature / These growing pains / And baby, I ain't walking away."

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.
