Justin Bieber Sparks Concern with Gaunt Appearance and Drug-Referencing Rap; Rep Denies Relapse

Justin Bieber has sparked concern among fans and friends after a video surfaced showing him looking gaunt and rapping about drug use. The video features Bieber, shirtless and wearing a beanie, reciting lyrics about drug use while holding a bag of chips. This incident follows months of speculation about Bieber's well-being, fueled by his noticeably thinner appearance, dark circles under his eyes, and unkempt look. Some fans fear a relapse into past substance abuse issues and rumors of marital struggles with Hailey Bieber. A representative for Bieber vehemently denied the relapse claims, stating that the singer's appearance is due to exhaustion from working on a new album and caring for his newborn child. The representative condemned the "negative, indecent, and harmful narratives" surrounding Bieber's health and emphasized that he is in a "satisfying" phase of his life, having cut ties with detrimental influences.
