Justin Bieber has been named White Boy of the Year at the second annual Believe That Awards, hosted by NBA star Anthony Edwards and Nick Maddox.
The tongue-in-cheek ceremony, which the presenters describe as an awards show where “no one is safe”, was also attended by Edwards’ new Minnesota Timberwolves team-mate LaMelo Ball during the streamed event.
Bieber was shortlisted alongside actors Tom Holland and Robert Pattinson, footballer Erling Haaland and NFL star Travis Kelce, all of whom were recognised as white stars who had enjoyed major years in 2026.
After being announced as the winner, Bieber submitted an acceptance speech thanking the organisers for choosing him.
The singer now joins Timothée Chalamet, who received the inaugural award. Chalamet previously thanked Bieber for paving the way for what he called white boy swag.
Bieber’s win places him at the centre of the awards’ second edition, following Chalamet’s victory at last year’s event.
