When Justin Bieber cried on stage at the VMAs back in August, it seemed to be the culmination of the singer’s so-called "apology tour" – an attempt to rebuild his reputation after years of bad behavior.

Last week, however, the Biebs seemed happy to throw all that hard work out the window as he partied like the Justin of old without a care as to who witnessed his shenanigans.

First, video of Justin chugging Hennessy straight from the bottle while dancing on stage with Rae Sremmurd hit social media. 

Shortly thereafter, video of Justin smoking pot at the same concert appeared on Instagram. It was shared by Justin himself, along with a caption reading "#drunkjustin."

But despite the considerable evidence that Justin has returned to the hard-partying lifestyle that’s caused him so much trouble in the past, a couple of his famous friends swear that the Biebs is as sober as a judge. 

It seems Justin was recently hanging out the middle-aged white gangsta known as Diplo and the day-glo human coke straw called Riff-Raff, and while he joined them in a night of partying, he didn’t partake in any of the myriad substances that were offered to him.

Riff tells TMZ that he and Diplo were "f–ked up," but Justin never took a sip of alcohol or a puff from a blunt.

The rapper says he thinks Justin’s antics at the Rae Sremmurd show were just an incident of him temporarily falling off the wagon. Of course, it’s just as likely that the night he abstained while at the club with Riff was a temporary moment of sobriety.
