While His Mom Implores Fans To 'Pray' For Him, Justin Bieber Claims He's Hightailed It To Cuba

Has Justin Bieber hightailed it to Cuba?

In the wake of authorities investigating the Baby singer for an egging incident, and drugs reportedly found on the premises during a subsequent investigation, Bieber Tuesday uploaded a picture to his Instagram account in which he's smoking a big cigar, adding, "I’m in Cuba I love Cubans."

(In terms of the legalities of the Canadian singer's trek to the communist nation, we know from Jay-Z and Beyonce's trip there last year that while it remains illegal for Americans to venture there as tourists, U.S. officials can approve trips for culture-based purposes.)

In the meantime, Bieber's mother, Pattie Mallette encouraged his fans to pray for her son during these trying times, which include a drug investigation and an embarrassing thread of texts made public earlier this week.

She told the UK SUN, "I ask that people keep me and Justin in their minds. I pray for him every day.

"I think so many people go into the entertainment industry with amazing Christian roots," the 37-year-old said, "and they get influenced somehow."
