However the images, taken from a secluded studio in the mountains, only emphasized concern surrounding his alleged drug taking, which appears to have spiralled over the past year.

The Canadian, 31, posted two photos that drew attention from fans.

One featured Bieber's friend, Australian singer Eddie Benjamin, 23, playing guitar. But upon closer inspection, Bieber was visible through an open doorway in the left corner, appearing to take a hit from what seemed to be a bong.

The second snap features Bieber, who shares 10-month-old son Jack Blues with wife Hailey, 28, on a patio with a picturesque mountain view behind him as well as what seemed to be a bong on the floor.

Next to him, Benjamin was pictured puffing on a cigarette.

And fans were quick to comment on the appearance of a bong in both snaps.

One commented: "Thats a huge bong," another added: "The bong in the background."

A third chimed in: "All I see is a couple of potheads. Always thought @justinbieber was better than that. At least keep it out of the public view.

"You're not setting a good example for your young fans. Your standards appear low."

"The bong is bigger than him," another wrote, while a separate fan added: "Stop doing this!"

This isn't the first time Bieber has exposed drug use on social media

The Baby hitmaker worried fans with a similar post in March, when he shared photos that showed him smoking from what appeared to be a bong while sitting on an electric bike.

Around that time he also shared a video of himself performing a rap about being "high."

Prior to that, Bieber shared another eyebrow-raising video, where he stood close to the camera while inhaling and exhaling smoke from what appeared to be a joint 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.

In February, Bieber shut down speculation that he is using drugs after sparking concern about his health while stepping out in public looking gaunt and hollow-eyed.

His rep said: "The recurring narrative that Justin is using hard drugs is absolutely not true," adding that his client is actually "in one of the best places in his life."

However, the statement did little to curb fears surrounding his behavior, and last month, a disconcerting TikTok video of the Canadian singer attending the Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival surfaced on social media.

In the video, Bieber was seen leaning forward while shirtless in khaki pants while standing with concertgoers at the Empire Polo Club in Indio, California.
