Joe Jonas is clearing the air and speaking up about those drug rumors.

According to E! Online rumors about a possible drug addiction were sparked once Joe’s band, the Jonas Brothers, abruptly cancelled their Fall tour. The former Disney star was spotted with Demi Lovato’s sober coach in Los Angeles shortly after they announced the cancellation.

The 24-year-old star is now slamming those reports saying, “It’s ridiculous!”
He told People, “We’re not saying anything for two or three weeks and I’m a drug addict!”

The “See No More” singer was particularly upset that some of the rumors targeted his girlfriend, Blanda Eggenschwiler. “It’s obviously not true. I’ve never touched heroin in my life. Neither has my girlfriend,” he said. “It’s hilarious to me, but also frustrating as well. It pissed me off when it’s about my girl and even about myself.”

Joe, along with his brothers Kevin and Nick, recently confirmed that the Jonas Brothers were splitting up. Joe announced on Good Morning America that he is looking forward to the next chapter and is excited to pursue his own projects.
