Singer Joe Jonas has denied taking drugs and seeking help at a rehabilitation centre.

The 24-year-old was also said to be one of the reasons behind the split of his band Jonas Brothers but he feels that his silence has been misinterpreted, reports people.com.

"It's ridiculous! We're not saying anything for two or three weeks and I'm a drug addict," said Joe.

Things got under Joe's skin when his girlfriend Blanda Eggenschwiler was also dragged into the rumour.

"It's obviously not true. I've never touched heroin in my life. Neither has my girlfriend. It's hilarious to me, but also frustrating as well. It p***ed me off when it's about my girl and even about myself," Joe said.

"I was walking down the street and people are asking me if they can give me a hug and how rehab is. I'm like, 'You tell me because I've never been.'," he added.
