Justin Bieber has refused the speculation that he is using drugs after recently sparking concern about his health while stepping out in public looking gaunt and hollow-eyed.
After numerous fans expressed worry for the superstar, who turns 31 next month, on social media, the Grammy winner’s rep set the record straight on how Bieber is really doing.
‘The recurring narrative that Justin is using hard drugs is absolutely not true,’ his rep confirmed, adding that his client is actually ‘in one of the best places in his life.’
At this time, he is focused on ‘actively parenting his newborn son’ Jack Blues, six months, with his wife, Hailey Bieber, and working on making new music.
Bieber’s rep also explained that the new dad has endured a ‘very transformative’ past year, in which ‘he ended several close friendships and business relationships that no longer served him.’
As he prioritizes his marriage, fatherhood and creating art he’s passionate about, the star is said to feel drained by the rumors that he is struggling with his mental and physical health.
His rep told the outlet that the reports are ‘exhausting and pitiful and shows that despite the obvious truth, people are committed to keeping negative, salacious, harmful narratives alive.’
Earlier this month, he left fans worried after he was seen looking red-eyed with dark circles around his eyes in New York City.
Sources told TMZ, however, that his weary appearance was the result of a restless night recording in the studio and ‘caring for his son who was having trouble falling asleep as well.’
