Justin Bieber caused concern among fans after he shared a photo of himself seemingly smoking a bong.

The pop star is currently vacationing in Aspen with her family, incl Hailey Bieber and Baby Jack, which is supposed to be where he took the photos.

The pictures come amid reports that Justin Bieber is planning a music comeback because he "needs the money".

On Instagram, Bieber shared photos from his ongoing Aspen getaway.

In one photo, the singer, unusually wearing a hat and covered with a duvet, was seen lighting a bong that fans speculated contained marijuana.

He also posted two additional pictures, showing him inhaling and exhaling smoke from a bong.

In the remaining shots, the singer is holding what appeared to be smoking paraphernalia.

Although marijuana is legal in Colorado, the state where Aspen is located, that hasn't stopped an avalanche of complaints from fans criticizing the act.

In the comments section of Bieber's post, fans were left concerned about his bong use, especially since it was posted shortly after reports that he and his wife Hailey were having marital problems.

One wrote: “What a good example for a bad father. Congratulations,” while another asked: “Now you have a baby and this is what you chose to post?”

A third person noted: "It's time to grow up and be a father and a husband, no woman wants this for herself."

"Take care of yourself and your family! Family is the best ever! Nothing is more important,” said another fan.

Some fans also commented that there shouldn't be any fuss about Bieber smoking weed.

One wrote: “Chill guys it's WEED. Legal in Colorado. Equivalent to drinking beer on vacation."

Another commented: “So many rude comments can you give him a break? Lol, nothing wrong with weed.”

Bieber's photos come after a report emerged about his desire to return to music in 2025.

According to Daily Mailthe report claims the singer "needs money" and now "wants to work" after canceling the remainder of his 2023 Justice World Tour.

It is said that Bieber "still owes" tour company AEG a "significant amount" for canceling the tour and may now be looking to return to work to settle this debt.

The pop star is also said to have several "other pop star expenses" that require funding.

If Bieber plans to make an active return to music, he will need to hire a new line-up of support staff, having recently parted ways with manager Scooter Braun.

Additionally, the new creations will not be tied to his back catalog, which he sold the rights to for $200 million in 2023.

The singer has already hinted at working on new music, sharing photos of himself in a creative environment over the weekend.

In one of the shots, Bieber could be seen singing into a microphone with his eyes closed while artist MK.gee was in the background pressing his phone.

Another shot featured a similar setup with both stars, but this time, MK.gee seemed deeply focused on the creation process.

With rumors that the singer is set to make a comeback, he was seen singing the lyrics to a new song earlier this month.

The "Baby" hitmaker's lyrics read: "I'm takein' it/ You takein' bait/ I'm shakin' it/ You're shakin' it/ Shakin' off the hate."

Also, months before the speculation surfaced, MK.gee said The New York Times that he wrote and recorded some songs with the pop star.

In the interview, MK.gee praised Bieber while discussing how good their sessions were.

"Everything that comes out of his mouth: it's pop music," he told the publication about Bieber. “You can really do pretty wild things behind it, just because it represents something.”
