The alleged drug photos in question were from a Newport Beach Hotel room party on Wednesday January 2 and were posted by TMZ. Bieber never spoke directly about the photos but he thanked his followers for their support and deemed himself ready to face “new challenges” and “new doubters” in 2013:

The photos were taken a day after a paparazzi photographer was killed trying to get pictures of Bieber’s white Ferrari. Sources say that the driver of the Ferrari that day, 19-year-old rapper, Lil Twist was also at the party.
Bieber is set to kick off his Believe tour on January 5 at EnergySolutions Arena in Salt Lake City, Utah. The tour comes shortly after news broke of Bieber’s newly single relationship status after reportedly breaking up again with girlfriend, Selena Gomez. The nationwide tour will celebrate the slated June release of Bieber’s new album, Believe.
