Just after posting studio photos hinting at new music, Justin Bieber has started a new controversy, with smoking pictures. Bieber uploaded a carousel post on Instagram on May 1 that shows him smoking as he spends time in his studio.
Such a controversy is not new to Bieber. The singer had uploaded a photo in March, too, smoking a substance in a glass bong.
Bieber has previously opened up about his substance addiction in a YouTube original video titled The Dark Season - Justin Bieber: Seasons. In the video, the singer admitted to using substances since the age of 13. The singer later underwent IV therapy to help with the physical toll. According to reports, he subsequently left the substance and only consumed alcohol occasionally.
However, his recent posts from March and May have raised questions about whether he has indeed moved on from substance use or if he is back to it.
