Where there’s smoke, there’s fire. Justin Bieber smokes a bong in new photos after denying drug rumors

Justin Bieber smoked a bong in new photos after denying he abused drugs.
The “Never Say Never” singer posted a carousel of photos via Instagram on Monday showing him blowing smoke out of his mouth while holding a glass bong in his hand as he sat on a blue e-bike.
Bieber dressed in his usual baggy look for the snaps, wearing a fuzzy burgundy-and-blue jacket, black jeans and brown boots.
He did not add a caption to the post.
Several fans took to the pop star’s comments section with mixed reactions about his smoking habits.
“Jesus freed you from that, bro, why are you going back to that?” asked one user.
“I hope Jack doesn’t have to be around all this smoke. A kid doesn’t deserve it,” added another fan, referring to Justin’s 6-month-old son, Jack Blues, whom he shares with wife Hailey Bieber.
Justin there’s kids on here? Maybe you should think about what message you are sending them? :/,” wrote a third netizen.
Other people defended the “Baby” crooner, 31, against the hate.
Y’all are F–KING trippin. It’s weed not crack cocaine 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂,” wrote one person.
“Why is everyone on him for smoking? When I smoke weed it calms down my anxiety and my depression,” added another.
love when you’re just being you,” commented a third supporter.
Justin’s bong photos come just over a week after his rep shut down “harmful” allegations of drug use following concerns about the singer’s behavior.
The publicist told TMZ on Feb. 23 that the ongoing rumors about the Grammy winner’s physical and mental health are “exhausting and pitiful” and show that d”espite the obvious truth, people are committed to keeping negative, salacious, harmful narratives alive.”
