    Another picture captured the Peaches singer lounging on a couch, with his infant son lying next to him.

    What sparked concern among netizens was an image of him sitting on the same couch, seemingly smoking with another man.

    “Bestie you did not just smoke in front of baby Jack,” read a comment online

    There was no indication or evidence of baby Jack being in the same room when they were smoking the rollie.

    But that did not stop netizens from chastising the Grammy winner and saying, “Dont smoke in front your kid.”

    “Bestie you did not just smoke in front of baby Jack,” read a second comment.

    A third said, “Dude there is no way you have that baby around that smoke… be better like we know you can be.”

    “Publicizing your use of mind altering substances with your child present is not cool or interesting,” said another naysayer. “Sadly, all I see is a person harming their child due to lack of self control. I hope I am wrong. Children deserve better.”

    Some believed the Grammy winner shared the images knowing that people would talk about it

    Others came to papa Bieber’s defense, saying, “Everyone in the comment section lets use our brains now, jack isn’t even pictured in the photos where he’s smoking. He didn’t smoke in front of Jack.”

    “Most likely, he isnt smoking when the baby is right next to him. But the fact that he posts this KNOWING what people will think says a lot about him,” wrote another. “I feel sorry for Hailey, he is putting her trough so much toxicity.  She must be going through so much stress because of hin.”

    Weeks before his recent pictures, Justin ignited another parenting debate over his Mother’s Day message.

    “Love u moms but mothers day sucks a**,” he wrote online.

    Many felt he was being insensitive and showing “cruelty” to his wife Hailey, especially since this was her first Mother’s Day since welcoming their son in August last year.
