Pop star Justin Bieber recently sparked concern among fans after sharing a photo of himself seemingly smoking with a bong.
The pop icon is currently on vacation in Aspen with his family, including Hailey Bieber and baby Jack, which is presumed to be where he took the photos.
The images come amid reports that Justin Bieber is planning a music comeback as he “needs the money.”
He took to Instagram and shared photos from his ongoing Aspen getaway.
In a photo, the singer, oddly wearing a hat and covered with a duvet, was seen lighting a bong that fans speculated contained marijuana. He also dropped a couple of additional images, capturing him inhaling and exhaling smoke from the bong.
The remaining shots featured the singer holding what appeared to be a smoking paraphernalia.
Marijuana is legal in Colorado, the state where Aspen is located, but that didn’t stop an avalanche of complaints from fans criticizing the act.
In the comment section of Bieber’s post, fans were left worried by his bong use, especially as it was shared shortly after reports of him and his wife, Hailey, having marital issues.
One wrote, “What a good example for a bad dad. Congratulations,” while another asked, “You have a baby now and this is what you choose to post?”
A third person noted, “Time to grow up and be a father and husband, no woman wants this for themselves.”
“Take care yourself and your family! Family is the best ever! Nothing is more important,” another fan said.
Some fans also commented that there shouldn’t be any fuss about Bieber smoking marijuana.
One wrote, “Chill guys it’s WEED. Legal in Colorado. The equivalent of having a beer on vacation.”
Another commented, “So many rude comments, can you give him a break? Lol, there’s nothing wrong with weed.”
Bieber’s photos emerged after a report about his desire to start making music again in 2025. As per the Daily Mail, the report claims that the singer “needs the money” and now “wants to work” after canceling the remainder of his Justice World Tour in 2023.
