Justin Bieber isn't taking all the recent rumors and bad press lightly, and has fought back against false claims in a new Instagram post.

"Everyone in my team has been telling me, 'keep the press happy' but I'm tired of all the countless lies in the press right now," he writes. "Saying I'm going to rehab and how my family is disappointed in me."

Justin goes on to say that his family are completely behind him and are not worried about the singer.

"My family is beyond proud, and nothing's been said by them, my grandparents wouldn't know how to reach to press even [if] they did want to so that was a lie and rehab cmon," he writes. "if Anyone believes i need rehab thats their own stupidity lol I'm 19 with 5 number one albums, 19 and I've seen the whole world. 19 and I've accomplished more than I could've ever dreamed of."

Showing his confidence, Justin shares that he's not going to let these rumors get the best of him -- or stop him from success.

"i'm 19 and it must be scary to some people to think that this is just the beginning," he says. "I know my talent level and i know i got my head on straight. i know who i am and i know who i'm not My [message] is to to believe. My albums could be about anything but my messages have been to never say never and believe, not to believe in me, but to believe in yourself .. I honestly don't care if you don't believe in me because I believe in me, and look where that's gotten me so far.."

Letting his Beliebers know that he's not letting the hate make him down, he explains, "I'm writing this with a smile on my face and love in my heart. Letting u know first hand how I feel rather than have these story linger. I'm a good person with a big heart. And don't think I deserve all of this negative press ... I've worked my ass off to get where I am and my hard work doesn't stop here. i'm growing up finding myself while having people watch me and criticize me everyday i think im doing pretty damn good."

Lastly, JB says he's sick of the unfair comparisons to former teen star Lindsay Lohan, who is reportedly facing financial struggles.

"And to those comparing me to Lindsey Lohan look at her 2012 tax statements ;)" he writes.

Although Justin deleted the post earlier today, he has since republished it, but deleted the Lindsay Lohan reference.

His letter comes just a few days after Jada Pinkett Smith defended Justin and other young singers who've been scrutinized in the media.

Hang in there, Biebs.
