Justin Bieber is once again back in the news.
For all the wrong reasons.
The singer was spotted in West Hollywood this past Friday, walking at a distance from his friends and sparking concern based his appearance and and his general demeanor.
Earlier in the month, fans were worried about Bieber for similar reasons, as the artist continues to keep a low profile… and also continues to post cryptic messages on social media.
“It’s time to grow up. Changing is about letting go!,” wrote Justin a day before his latest outing, adding:
“Not trying harder! Are you tired of trying to follow all of the rules in hopes to get the results you crave? Ive found love to be more powerful than rules. I tried to follow the rules. Im not good at it.”
Strange, right?
A sign of drug use, perhaps? This is what many observers are wondering about at the moment.
No, according to the superstar’s rep, who spoke to TMZ on Sunday and said rumors that Bieber is involved with any dangerous substances are “absolutely not true.”
Indeed, his team noted in this same interview, it’s been a “very transformative” year for Bieber as he “ended several close friendships and business relationships that no longer served him.”
As the Grammy winner’s 31st birthday approaches on March 1, the father of a six-month old son focused on his family and his music… not baseless speculation about his health, which his rep called this weekend “exhausting and pitiful and shows that despite the obvious truth, people are committed to keeping negative, salacious, harmful narratives alive.”
Fair enough, we’d say.
