Dad-son bonding session sparks debate over Justin Bieber's Instagram post
Canadian enthusiasts remind the artistic presence, Justin Bieber, of their undying support and admiration. - Canadian music enthusiasts caution the Canadian vocalist
Justin Bieber (31), the renowned Canadian singer, recently shared a heartwarming series of photographs on his Instagram account featuring his son, Jack. The images, captioned, "This is going to be a great summer," show young Jack perched on his famous father's shoulders and lounging with him on a bench.
However, the sweet father-son moments are overshadowed by a new controversy. Some of the pictures, taken during a chill rural retreat with friends, appear to show Bieber smoking - potentially marijuana - and raising speculation from fans who are concerned about exposing an infant to such substances. One follower commented, "It's neither cool nor interesting to post the consumption of mind-altering substances in the presence of your own child."
Fans defend, critics question
Not everyone sees eye to eye on the issue. Some fans defend Bieber, explaining, "Everyone in the comments, let's use our brains now, Jack isn't even on the photos where he's smoking." Others admit that while smoking may not be happening in Jack's presence, Bieber's decision to post these images suggests a lack of concern for public opinion.
Remarkably, this isn't the first time the singer has provoked criticism for his social media content: In March, he shared a picture of his naked son. Although a purple emoji concealed Jack's face, his back and derriere, which Bieber held, were visible to all.
