Justin Bieber has raised eyebrows by posting a video of himself smoking.
The Peaches singer, 30, posted a minute-long video to his Instagram Stories on Thursday, showing himself smoking what appeared to be a joint and dancing.
Justin smiled wide as he exhaled the smoke, moving close to the camera between several puffs. The post appeared to be a response to criticism after fans speculated about his demeanour at wife Hailey Bieber's Rhode Skin cosmetics pop-up event last week.
A viral video from the event showed Bieber smiling and shifting his weight while talking to a guest. At one point, he held onto his pants with both hands and scratched his leg.
Another clip captured Bieber staring blankly at the camera while posing with Hailey, 28, who playfully pretended to lick his cheek. Fans questioned his behaviour, with one writing, "This is so hard to watch. Someone help him."
Others defended the star.
"Justin Bieber is smiling, haters: 'Omg, what's wrong with him?' LEAVE HIM ALONE," one person wrote.
Justin's spokesperson rejected drug-abuse speculation, telling the TMZ the rumours were, "exhausting and pitiful."
The rep added that Bieber has been busy in the studio and adjusting to fatherhood after he and Hailey welcomed their first child, a son, in August.
