Justin Bieber disses crack-smoking Toronto mayor Rob Ford, politician heads to rehab after latest video evidence released

Robert Ford, better known as the crack-smoking mayor of Toronto, this week revealed that he would finally go to rehab. Though there were plenty of reasons to do so, including multiple videos showing the politician partaking in the drug and other substances, new reports suggests a recent incident with Canadian pop star Justin Bieber could have been the final straw.

According to The Toronto Star reporter Kevin Donovan, Ford and Bieber met in March of 2014 at a popular nightclub called Muzik. The two ran into each other in a common area of the club, and then Bieber asked the notorious mayor if he had any crack. Apparently joking, Justin angered the politician who then "blustered back to his private booth."

Check out a recent interview with Donovan where he details the Ford controversy and the Bieber run-in:

Meanwhile, here is an excerpt from USA Today's report on the most recent video evidence of Ford's crack controversy:

The video, which would be the second showing Ford smoking the substance, was allegedly filmed Saturday morning in the basement of the mayor's sister, the Globe and Mail reports.

The video is part of a package of three a self-professed drug dealer says was secretly taped at about 1:15 a.m. Saturday morning, according to the news organization.

Earlier, the Toronto Sun reported exclusively that the mayor, who has been the subject of numerous news reports alleging he has been under the influence in public or has used colorful language, is now ready to get help.

Ford has told the news organization that he is "ready to take a break" from his mayoral reelection campaign to "go get help."
