Anthony Edwards is back with his second-annual Believe That Awards, and this year’s biggest honor went to Justin Bieber. The Timberwolves star named Bieber his 2026 White Boy of the Year, beating out a stacked finalist list that included Travis Kelce, Tom Holland, Erling Haaland, and Robert Pattinson. Timothée Chalamet won the award in 2025, so Bieber just ended a very short dynasty.
Bieber accepted the honor by video and kept the energy light, thanking Edwards and joking that he thought he was getting“white man of the year.”The night wasn’t just about one trophy. Druski took Main Character of the Year, Michael B. Jordan won Iconic Performance of the Year, and 50 Cent received the Lifetime Achievement award, all while Edwards ate dinner and playfully roasted winners through the stream on his YouTube page.
This is what makes Edwards’awards show a true offseason tradition. It mixes sports, music, and celebrity into one chaotic package that gives fans endless arguments. Kelce fans, Holland fans, and Haaland fans all have a case to make. So, did Bieber deserve the title, or was this the snub of the year?
