Justin Bieber seemingly trolled fans with a new smoking video after several shared they were concerned over his “bizarre” behavior.
The two-time Grammy winner took to his Instagram Stories Thursday to share a minute-long video of himself indulging in a joint and dancing.
Bieber got close to the camera while exhaling the smoke and smiled wide between several puffs.
The “Peaches” crooner, 30, appeared to be sending a message to critics who claimed he was acting strange at his wife Hailey Bieber’s Rhode Skin pop-up event in Los Angeles.
Last week, a video of Bieber went viral, as he was seen smiling wide and shifting his weight while chatting with a guest.
While talking, he also clutched his pants with both hands and leaned over to scratch the side of his leg.
Another clip showed the pop star staring blankly into the camera while posing for photographers alongside Hailey, 28, who was pretending to lick his cheek.
Bieber was notably wearing sunglasses inside the nighttime event.
“This is so hard to watch. Someone help him,” one person commented on the TikTok video.
“that doesn’t even look like him😭 that makes me sad,” another added, as a third chimed in, “Poor guy is in so much paint.”
“He looks like there is something wrong,” a fan wrote.
However, several others rushed to defend Justin, with one writing, “Y’all acting like you know [him] personally.”
“justin bieber is smiling haters : ‘omg what’s wrong with him’ LEAVE HIM ALONE,” a second wrote.
Sources told TMZ that Justin “wasn’t high” despite speculation, saying he was enjoying his time with Hailey.
A spokesperson for the “Baby” singer also denied allegations that he was using drugs, telling the outlet, that the rumors are “exhausting and pitiful.”
“People are committed to keeping negative, salacious, harmful narratives alive,” his rep said.
The musician’s spokesperson also commented on photos of Justin appearing exhausted in New York City earlier this month, saying he’s been busy with his son, Jack Blues, and in the recording studio.
The rep shared that the past year has been “transformative” for him after he and Hailey welcomed their first child in August.
