Justin Bieber has made a rare comment about his son Jack after breaking his silence on the drug accusations he's been facing.
Earlier this month, the 30-year-old 'Baby' star sparked some serious speculation online, with fans branding Bieber as 'frail and unrecognisable' following the release of several new paparazzi snaps.
Such comments on social media have since forced a rep for the father-of-one - who shares his son Jack with his wife, Hailey Bieber - to deny the 'exhausting and pitiful' allegations that the singer had been using drugs.

The rep told Rolling Stone that both Bieber and his wife have said the public’s obsession over his mental and physical health is 'exhausting and pitiful and shows that despite the obvious truth, people are committed to keeping negative, salacious, harmful narratives alive'.
The rep added that the last year was 'very transformative for him as he ended several close friendships and business relationships that no longer served him'.
The statement in question, which was first reported by TMZ, concluded by claiming that the singer 'hadn't slept because he had been recording all night which is why he looked a bit worse for wear when he stepped out to get some fresh air'.

"He'd also spent part of the evening caring for his son who was having trouble falling asleep as well," TMZ added.
Tyla has previously reached out to Justin Bieber's representatives for further comment.
Amid the speculation, Bieber has opened up about fatherhood and revealed exactly when he plans to teach little six-month-old Jack to ice skate.

Speaking with the Los Angeles Kings' media team at Sunday's Skate For LA Strong charity hockey game, the new dad said he wants the tot to learn 'as soon as possible' when asked how soon he was 'looking to get [his] kid on skates'.
When a reporter asked, 'What is too early?' Bieber replied: "It’s never too early."
The charity hockey game was held at the Crypto.com Arena on Sunday (23 February) to benefit those impacted by the Los Angeles wildfires.
Bieber was also asked what it meant to him to be able to support people affected by the devastating fires.

"This is everything," he said. "We’re just looking to have a good time and to just show that when we all come together good things can happen."
Other celebs in attendance at the game included Rob McElhenney, Snoop Dogg, Vince Vaughn, Will Ferrell, and Danny Devito.
