This incident comes on the heels of previous reports about Bieber's struggles with mental health and substance use.

In past interviews, he has been open about his challenges, stating to Vogue in 2019, "I've struggled with the feeling that people are using me or aren't really there for me."

While some fans are quick to defend the singer, suggesting that the video might be taken out of context, others are urging those close to him to intervene.

A concerned follower noted, "Someone in his circle needs to step in before it's too late."

This comes just days after the singer was forced to deny that he was on "hard drugs".

As you might have seen, the 30-year-old pop star was photographed walking in New York, and images of his appearance quickly went viral on social media.

Fans took to social media to express their concern.

“Oh no, he looks beat to hell. What happened?” one person wrote.

Another commented: “Fame did a number on him. My heart goes out to him. He never really had a chance at any sense of normalcy.”

“Bro needs help tbh this ain't the star we knew,” a third added, while another said: “No, he’s genuinely going through it. I’ve said that for months. It’s so sad.”

Others speculated that the singer had been taking "hard drugs".

In response to the speculation, Bieber’s team released a statement to TMZ, strongly denying the claims.

“The recurring narrative that Justin is using hard drugs is absolutely not true,” the representative said, adding that Bieber is actually “in one of the best places in his life.”

The 'What Do You Mean' singer, who welcomed his first child, Jack Blues, with wife Hailey Bieber in August 2024, is reportedly focusing on fatherhood and his music.

The representative also noted that Bieber has undergone a “very transformative” year, cutting ties with certain friends and business relationships that “no longer serve him.”

The rumors, they added, are “exhausting and pitiful” and reflect a persistent attempt to push “negative, salacious, harmful narratives” despite the facts.

As of now, Bieber's representatives have not released an official statement regarding the video. Fans worldwide hope that the singer receives the support and help he may need during this time.
