Justin Bieber ignited speculation about his views on drug use by sharing a clip from DMX’s 2013 appearance on “Iyanla: Fix My Life” on July 21, 2025. In the video, DMX hesitates when asked if he wants a “clean” life without marijuana or alcohol.
Iyanla Vanzant describes this lifestyle as being a “clear, pure vessel for the voice of God.” However, DMX rejects this notion, asserting that he is already in a good place with God.
Bieber’s repost comes at a time when fans are increasingly concerned about his well-being. DMX tragically passed away in April 2021 at the age of 50 due to a cocaine-induced heart attack, which adds significance to the message in the clip. In February 2025, Bieber’s team told TMZ that rumours of his hard drug use are untrue. However, the definition of “hard drugs” can vary, and might not include substances like marijuana and alcohol.

Bieber’s intent remains unclear, but the post suggests he aligns with DMX’s view that personal habits don’t hinder spiritual connection. Fans express alarm online, fearing it indicates ongoing struggles despite Bieber’s claims of recovery.
Bieber has openly discussed mental health and substance issues in the past, including anxiety and depression. His 2021 album “Justice” addressed these themes, and he cancelled tours in 2022 due to Ramsay Hunt syndrome. This clip adds to Bieber’s pattern of cryptic social media posts, leaving followers divided between support and concern.
