Justin Bieber’s representatives are pushing back against speculation surrounding the singer’s health after fans raised concerns about his recent public appearances. The 30-year-old pop icon, whose “exhausted” demeanor and “bizarre” behavior sparked rumors of substance use, has vehemently denied the allegations through his team.
Rep Shuts Down Drug Use Speculation
On Sunday (February 23), Justin’s spokesperson addressed the gossip in a statement to TMZ, calling the claims “harmful” and unfounded. “These rumors are exhausting and pitiful,” the rep said. “Despite the obvious truth, people are committed to keeping negative, salacious narratives alive.”
The rep emphasized that Justin is thriving personally and professionally, particularly after welcoming his first child, son Jack Blues, with wife Hailey Bieber in August 2024. “He’s in a great place, focused on his family and health,” the statement added.
A Year of Transformation and Prioritizing Family
Sources close to the Grammy winner revealed that 2024 has been a pivotal year for Justin, marked by intentional life changes. The insider noted that he recently ended several “close friendships and business relationships that no longer served him,” opting to channel his energy into his marriage, parenthood, and well-being.
This shift aligns with Justin’s recent reflective social media posts, where he hinted at personal growth. In one now-viral message, he wrote, “Time to grow up,” signaling a renewed commitment to maturity and stability.
Fan Concerns vs. Reality
Concerns about Justin’s health began circulating online after paparazzi photos and videos showed the singer looking fatigued during outings. While fans speculated about possible substance use, insiders stress that his demeanor stems from adjusting to the demands of fatherhood and a deliberate step back from draining relationships.
Hailey Bieber has also been vocal about their journey as new parents, sharing glimpses of their life with Jack on social media. The couple, who married in 2018, have consistently highlighted their partnership as a source of strength amid public scrutiny.
Social Media Reacts
While some fans expressed relief over the denial, others criticized the scrutiny. “Let the man live. Becoming a dad changes everything—of course he’s tired!” tweeted one supporter. Another wrote, “People need to stop diagnosing celebrities based on pap pics. Mental health isn’t a meme.”
What’s Next for Justin?
Amid the rumors, Justin has kept a low profile musically, though insiders suggest he’s quietly working on new projects. For now, his focus remains on family, health, and nurturing the “transformative” peace he’s found in this chapter of life.
