Justin Bieber's Pal I'm No Coke Smuggler... I'm Just a Mogul!

Justin Bieber's pal --and prolific music
producer --Jason "Pooh Bear" Boyd is
blasting reports insinuating he's
involved in international cocaine
smuggling and corrupting the
Biebs.Boyd tells TMZ ... he's NEVER
been a drug seller in any "way, shape,
form or fashion." As for what Boyd
was holding in the Instagram pic
Justin posted Tuesday ... he's scoffing
at reports that it's white powder.
Boyd says it's actually a piece of FRUIT
-- a slice of LIME.And one more
thing ... Photos surfaced this week
showing Boyd with government
officials in Suriname. One of the
officials had a drug conviction.  Boyd
says it was all just a photo op
connected to a Rick Ross rap concert
in the country ... a concert he
produced.Check out the video and
judge for yourself.

'Duck Dynasty' Stars Preaching in Church -- We're Hunting for Salvation

Here's something you probably didn't
know: the stars of "Duck Dynasty" are
hardcore Christian evangelists who
frequently preach at their local
church ... and TMZ has video of some
of last weekend's sermons.A ministry
assistant at White's Ferry Road Church
of Christ in West Monroe, LA tells TMZ,
Phil Robertson and his family have
been active at the church for more
than 30 years.We're told Phil regularly
gives fiery sermons -- but last
weekend, the entire family joined in,
when the church celebrated Duck
Commander Sunday ... a yearly
tradition where the entire Robertson
family preaches to the congregation in
full camo (not kidding).Funny... we're
told the Duck Commander Sunday
tradition existed long before the A&E
reality show.You gotta listen to the
video ... these guys are intense.
