Miley Cyrus was being sarcastic with weed comment, says publicist

A spokesperson for Miley Cyrus has played down comments that she made at her 19th birthday party about cannabis.

The singer was seen telling guests that she smoked "way too much f**king weed" in a private video obtained by The Daily. She also joked about a Bob Marley-themed birthday cake from her friends in the clip.

A representative for Cyrus said in a statement: "It's all been taken out of context. The cake was a joke and Miley's response was intended to be sarcastic."

Cyrus's friend Kelly Osbourne also explained that the star's friends had begun calling her 'Bob Miley' as a joke after footage of her smoking salvia emerged late last year.

Confirming that the cake was a joke, she tweeted: "it makes me sick that @MileyCyrus so called 'friends' would sell her out and lead people 2 believe she is someone that she is not! (sic)"
