Justin Bieber shared a new video of himself smoking to Instagram on Thursday, amid growing fan concern.
The Baby hitmaker, 30, stood close to the camera while inhaling and exhaling smoke from a rolled up cigarette in a minute-long clip, shared to his Stories.
At one point he had his eyes closed and flashed a wide smile for a prolonged period of time while seemingly dancing.
He had on a black beanie that appeared slightly disarranged, along with a black hoodie. The Grammy winner also sported a smattering of facial hair.
The video might have been a response to critics who claimed he was behaving ‘strange’ at his wife Hailey Bieber’s Rhode Skin pop-up event in Los Angeles last week.
It also comes just two days after he shared a video of himself performing a rap about being ‘high.’

The singer has sparked concern over his well-being in recent weeks following a string of appearances looking noticeably gaunt and pale and wearing bizarre outfits.
In the clip from earlier this week, Bieber was seen shirtless next to a pal on board of a plane, as he performed a strange rhyme while holding a bag of chips.
Bieber appeared glassy-eyed while rapping, ‘I like a fly guy, I fly high like a magpie, I go high like I’m that guy.’
Justin sported Calvin Klein underwear and a pair of oversized jeans along with a navy beanie.
The hitmaker’s appearance and monotone delivery left fans concerned, as they begged him to get help for the sake of his six-month-old son Jack Blues, with one writing, ‘Stop Justin. You are a new daddy.’
He posted the video two days after his representative denied that he was using hard drugs and claimed he looks hollow-eyed because he has been caring for his son who is struggling to sleep.
‘This is so sad to see,’ someone else wrote, while another fan added, ‘He’s desperate for help! Justin you are so loved!’
‘Jesus love you bro! Don’t go back to your old ways!!’ another pleaded.
‘I hope you’re okay man.’

‘His eyes expression resemble Britney’s,’ another noted, in reference to Britney Spears.
‘Why is this man not with his baby?’ someone else asked.
Fans were worried again last week when video footage emerged of him shifting his weight between each foot, itching his legs and grinning uncontrollably as he talked to a fan at his wife’s pop up store in Los Angeles.
Heading to the comments, fans shared their concern as they penned: ‘This is so hard to watch. Someone help him.’
Bieber recently shut down 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 told TMZ 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 with his wife, Hailey, and working on making new music.

Justin recently shared a prayer on social media which began: ‘ITS TIME TO GROW UP! CHANGING IS ABOUT LETTING GO! NOT TRYING HARDER!’
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.’
Meanwhile Hailey is ‘deeply concerned’ for her husband and doesn’t know ‘where to turn’ for ‘help,’ a source has claimed.
They added that Justin ‘doesn’t care about his well-being anymore’ and that he has ‘lost’ all ‘motivation’ – even for making music, which used to excite him.
‘He’s not working out like he used to, he doesn’t seem to eat like he once did, and people can see he has lost weight,’ they told DailyMail.com.
‘It’s like he doesn’t care about his well-being anymore. He’s moodier too. People are worried that he’s lost any motivation, even for his music.’
‘He goes to start recording but then he cancels sessions because “he isn’t in the mood.” It’s like he is struggling to focus on his own songwriting.’
The source alleged that Hailey has tried to ‘help’ him but he ‘won’t listen’ to her.
They added that she now doesn’t know ‘where to turn’ because neither of them are close with their respective families.
‘Hailey is deeply concerned for Justin,’ they continued. ‘He won’t listen to her when she tries to help.
‘Hailey struggles with where to turn. It’s not as if she can ask his family for help – or hers for that matter. They’ve both experienced estrangement from them.’

Justin’s increasingly dishevelled appearance has notably coincided with the epic fall from grace of his former mentor Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs, who was arrested last year on suspicion of a string of sex trafficking and racketeering offences. He has denied the claims.
A separate source previously claimed to DailyMail.com that Justin was deeply troubled by the allegations against Diddy, who turned the rising star into his party pal when he was just 15.
‘[Justin] is so disturbed by the Diddy news and is unwilling to process it or discuss it so he has shut off,’ they said.
‘So many people who helped to make him who he is were very close to Diddy and it has completely thrown him.’
Another insider claimed that the star has been struggling with his mental health for a few years, adding: ‘Justin has been struggling for the last couple of years with his mental health and a significant part of that is down to his worry about being in certain public situations.’
‘He has built up a deep fear of being out in spaces with lots of people and has a deep-seated worry about large crowds.’
Justin has talked candidly in the past about his mental health struggles, revealing there were times when he felt ‘really, really suicidal’ at his lowest.
Speaking on his YouTube documentary Justin Bieber: Next Chapter in 2020, he said he experienced ‘consistent’ pain.
In 2020, Bieber bravely spoke out about his past experiences with drug addiction.
In an episode of his documentary series Justin Bieber: Sessions, the performer revealed he first began smoking marijuana when he was ’12
or 13.’

By 13, he recalled launching to fame and the ‘overwhelming transition’ of navigating life in the spotlight as a young teenager.
Eventually, he said he started to do ‘pretty heavy drugs’ and began depending on marijuana heavily, before also turning to alcohol.
According to USA Today, Bieber also revealed he would drink lean (also known as Sizzurp, which is a mixture of Codeine cough syrup, soda, and hard candy), taking pills, MDMA and psychedelic mushrooms.
He ended up deciding to get sober after feeling like he ‘was dying.’
Bieber’s wife, Hailey, speculated that he turned to substances to self-medicate his then-undiagnosed ‘crippling anxiety.’
Rumors recently erupted of marital problems after he briefly unfollowed Hailey on Instagram last month, which he later attributed to someone ‘hacking’ his account.
