Justin Bieber has rapped about being “high” in a new video, shortly after denying rumours of drug use.
The Grammy-winning singer took to Instagram yesterday (February 25), and shared a video of him singing shirtless and eating a bag of snacks.
In the brief clip, Bieber is seen alongside a friend who is smoking a cigarette, and he is heard singing: “I fly like a fly guy, I fly high like a bagpipe.”
The clip comes just days after a representative for the ‘Stay’ singer shut down online rumours of drug use, branding the comments as “false” and “harmful”.

In a statement shared with Rolling Stone, the spokesperson said that the public’s fixation on the artist’s health is “exhausting and pitiful and shows that despite the obvious truth, people are committed to keeping negative, salacious, harmful narratives alive.”
They also shut down speculation saying that 2024 was “very transformative for him as he ended several close friendships and business relationships that no longer served him.”
Representatives for the singer did not immediately respond to a request for comment from Page Six, nor shared a statement about the new video.
Rumours about Bieber’s well-being come following paparazzi photos that went viral in recent weeks, showing the singer looking tired.
It also comes in light of Bieber talking openly about his health struggles in recent years. This included revealing his diagnosis with Ramsay Hunt syndrome in 2022 after he cancelled the opening stretch of his North American ‘Justice’ tour due to “sickness”.
As well as comments about his health, there have also been reports that Bieber is back in the studio and planning a major comeback soon. These were heightened when he was seen in the studio at the start of the new year, and again when Mk.gee revealed that he had been working with the singer on new material.
If the studio output comes together as a full album, it will be his first studio release since 2021’s ‘Justice’.
