Popstar Justin Bieber is once again drawing headlines, this time for a series of photos showing him with a large marijuana bong and a lit joint during a recent studio session in Iceland.
The images, shared to Bieber’s Instagram on Wednesday, show the 31-year-old singer dressed casually, smiling with the oversized bong on his lap. In another picture, he’s topless and holding what appears to be a lit joint in front of studio equipment. A third shows him outside, exhaling smoke.
While the images have sparked concern among some fans, particularly those who say Bieber is setting a bad example for younger followers, others defended the artist’s right to consume marijuana. Several commenters pointed out that marijuana is legal for recreational use in 24 U.S. states and argued that Bieber shouldn’t be criticized for choosing to use it.
“He’s an adult smoking a legal substance. Let him live,” one commenter wrote. Another added, “People need to stop making a big deal out of it—weed is legal in half the country.”
The photos come just a day after Hailey Bieber posted a cryptic message on social media, leading some fans to speculate whether the two posts are connected. Regardless, the images have reignited debate about celebrity influence, personal choice, and how marijuana use is perceived in the public eye.
