Justin Bieber has sparked conversation with a new social media post featuring him rapping about being “high”—just days after his representative dismissed rumors of drug use. 

The 30-year-old singer took to Instagram on February 25, sharing a short clip that quickly gained attention due to its timing and lyrics.

Bieber’s Instagram Rap Video

In the video, Bieber appeared shirtless, wearing a pair of pants and a bright blue beanie while holding a bag of snacks.

As a beat played in the background, he rapped, “High like a fly guy / I fly high like a magpie / I go high like a bad guy.”

One of his friends, who was also featured in the clip, nodded along to the rhythm and even added his own lyrics at the end, suggesting, “‘Cause I’m that guy.”

The video came just two days after Bieber’s representative released a statement refuting allegations that the singer had returned to substance use. Given the timing, the lyrics have fueled speculation among fans and media outlets.

Denial of Drug Use Rumors

On February 23, a representative for Bieber issued a strong response to rumors suggesting he was using drugs. The statement, first reported by TMZ, described the accusations as “exhausting” and “pitiful.”

According to the rep, Bieber has been undergoing a “transformative” period over the past year, cutting ties with certain business and personal relationships that no longer aligned with his priorities.

The statement also emphasized that Bieber is fully focused on his health, music, and supporting his wife, Hailey Baldwin Bieber, and their six-month-old son, Jack Blues.

Despite the rep’s clarification, speculation about Bieber’s well-being had been mounting in recent weeks. Fans voiced concerns after photos of the singer looking exhausted, with dark circles under his eyes, surfaced online. TMZ later reported that Bieber had been staying up late recording music while also caring for his baby, who was struggling with sleep.

Justin Bieber’s Past Struggles with Substance Abuse

While Bieber’s team has denied any current drug use, the singer has been open about his past battles with addiction.

In a 2021 interview with GQ, he revealed the depths of his struggles, admitting that he had once reached a point where security guards would check his pulse at night to ensure he was still alive

“There was a sense of still yearning for more,” Bieber told the magazine. “I had all this success, and it was still like, ‘I’m still sad, and I’m still in pain. And I still have these unresolved issues.’ I thought all the success was going to make everything good.”

Bieber admitted that he turned to drugs as a way to numb his emotions, which ultimately led him to lose direction in his career.

However, he has since worked hard to overcome those challenges and has spoken openly about his journey toward healing.

The Ongoing Speculation

Despite his past admissions, Bieber has consistently maintained in recent years that he is in a healthier place. However, given his history, public scrutiny over his well-being remains high.

The recent Instagram video, whether intended as a playful freestyle or a response to rumors, has only intensified the discussion.

Bieber has yet to directly address the speculation himself, leaving fans and critics to interpret his actions.

Whether his video was meant as a lighthearted moment or something more, it has undeniably added fuel to an already ongoing conversation.

For now, Bieber continues to focus on his personal life and career, and his representative remains firm in denying any allegations of drug use.
