Justin Bieber has been spotted smoking a cigar while playing golf in The Hamptons, days before his scheduled performance at the FIFA World Cup halftime show.

The 32-year-old pop star, who is set to perform alongside Madonna, Shakira, and Coldplay, appeared relaxed in navy trousers and a short-sleeved white shirt during the recreational activity.

The halftime show, scheduled for July 19 in New Jersey, will feature a 11-minute production including appearances from Burna Boy, Gustavo Dudamel, and the PS22 Chorus choir.

Bieber expressed his gratitude for participating in the event, which supports the FIFA Global Citizen Education Fund's $100 million initiative to improve education and soccer access for children.

His inclusion in the World Cup festivities marks a significant milestone in his career resurgence, following the release of his album 'Swag' and its deluxe edition.

Bieber's recent activities include headlining Coachella festivals and securing a record-breaking $10 million fee for his performances, showcasing his growing influence in the music industry.
