Pop icon Justin Bieber recently sparked concern with new summer snaps featuring his baby boy, Jack Blues, via Instagram Thursday.
The pop star carried his son on his shoulders in one snap and sat on a couch while playing with the 9-month-old’s socked feet elsewhere in the slideshow via Page Six.
Eagle-eyed fans noted that the singer was shirtless and wearing only blue shorts in the latter snap, the outfit he wore while smoking a blunt with a pal on the same couch in the previous pic.
The carousel, which proclaimed it’s “gonna be a good summer,” included another smoking shot.
“Walk me through your photo selection process,” one of the Grammy winner’s followers commented on the upload.
Another quipped that the post resembled “a teen dad promo from MTV.”
Many slammed the “Peaches” singer outright for “smok[ing] in front of [his] kid” and “doing drugs with the baby around,” encouraging him to “be better” — and encouraging his wife, Hailey Bieber, to stop the “unsafe” behavior.
One wrote, “I hope that baby wasn’t exposed to marijuana smoke… 😬.”
Some of Justin’s fans defended him in the comments, pointing out that the performer “isn’t even smoking with Jack in those photos he’s smoking in.”
However, one user noted, “bestie you should not bring a baby near a place with even just residues of smoke.”
Another added, “Even smoke that lingers on clothes or furniture (known as thirdhand smoke) can be harmful. So… maybe consider that. You’re a parent now. Act like one.”
He and Hailey welcomed their baby boy in August 2024 and have kept him out of the public eye for the most part.
“He’s my priority. He is the most important thing to me,” the Rhode founder, who sold her company to e.l.f. Beauty this week for $1 billion, gushed in her Vogue cover story earlier this month.
