Justin Bieber may have a squeaky clean image but, if recent photos of him are any indication, he might be hiding secrets underneath this façade. After photos of him allegedly smoking marijuana emerged online, The Biebs took to Twitter to speak out.

As we also informed you the other day, on January 2, Bieber and his pals was partying at a hotel in Newport Beach, and there was no Selena Gomez (Justin’s girlfriend) in sight.

TMZ has photos of Justin smoking what looks like a marijuana blunt, with insiders saying for the e-zine that there was a lot of pot smoke in the rooms where the party was being held and that the star duly took part in everything, pot smoking included.

Moreover, the same media outlet says, Justin spent the night with an unknown girl, even though, officially, he’s still dating Selena.

Shortly after the pics emerged online, The Biebs took to his Twitter to speak out. Though he’s not saying anything directly about the alleged drug photos, the pop star seems to be going out of his way to assure his fans that, as they say, nothing is what it seems.

His focus is on his music and his legions of fans, he writes.

“Everyday growing and learning. Trying to be better. U get knocked down, u get up,” the 18-year-old pop star writes.

“I see all of u. I hear all of u. I never want to let any of you down. I love u. I'm ready. We are ready. See u all tomorrow and everyday after that. Back on tour tomorrow. Ready to see u all smile. Time to do what I'm supposed to be doing. Performing,” he adds.

Before and after running the alleged drug photos, TMZ tried to contact a rep for Justin for comment on what he might have been smoking. They got no response.
