TMZ published photographs on January 4th, 2013 that appear to show singer Justin Bieber smoking marijuana. Rolling Stone says the photographs were taken at a Newport Beach hotel party on January 2nd. Bieber's team did not comment to TMZ about the photos.

However, Bieber did address his fans, known as Beliebers, on his Twitter account. Bieber has been relatively problem free so far in his career. By doing things like smoking pot or drinking it could make some parents less willing to let their tween daughters attend his concerts. It is not a smart move for him to engage in such behaviors, especially since he has such a young audience.

Bieber tweeted, "everyday growing and learning. trying to be better. u get knocked down, u get up."

He also tweeted, "i see all of u. i hear all of u. i never want to let any of you down. i love u. and..thank u. #beliebers" and "like i said...2013...new challenges. new doubters...Im ready. We are ready. see u all tomorrow and everyday after that."
