Justin Bieber’s team is shutting down rumors that he’s relapsed into hard drugs. A representative for the pop star has firmly denied the recent speculation, telling TMZ that the claims are “absolutely not true.”
The gossip started after Bieber acted a bit out of the ordinary during a skincare event his wife, Hailey Bieber, hosted. However, the rep explained that Bieber is actually in great shape, working on new music, and adjusting to life as a dad to his newborn son with Hailey.
The What Do You Mean? singer is about to turn 31, and the rep shared that the past year has been a significant period of personal growth for Bieber. He has distanced himself from certain relationships that weren’t benefiting him anymore.
As Bieber prepares for his birthday, his rep expressed frustration with the ongoing rumors about his health, calling the speculation “exhausting and pitiful” and stating that it shows people are determined to keep negative and harmful stories alive despite the truth.
On February 20, Bieber shared an introspective message on his Instagram story, saying: “Its time to grow up… Changing is about letting go! Not trying harder! Are you tired of trying to follow all of the rules in hopes to get the results you crave? I’ve found love to be more powerful than rules.”
