Justin Bieber performed, played sports, and supported the Toronto Maple Leafs at the 2026 Fanatics Fest and NHL Draft, while a separate incident involved Tom Brady and Logan Paul, and former Leaf Carlo Colaiacovo criticized Bieber's courtside presence.
Pop superstar Justin Bieber made a memorable appearance at the Fanatics Fest 2026, a multi-day sports and culture festival held at the Javits Center in New York City.
On Saturday, July 18, the 32-year-old singer performed for fans, shedding his shirt to showcase his extensive tattoo collection. His outfit was completed with white checkered shorts, a yellow baseball hat, and sunglasses. After performing his track "Yukon," Bieber engaged in various sports activities, including a quick basketball game, hockey puck shooting, and golf. The festival aimed to unite athletes, leagues, collectors, brands, and fans for a grand celebration.
In a separate public appearance earlier in the year, Bieber demonstrated his passion for hockey. He attended the 2026 NHL Draft at the KeyBank Center in Buffalo, New York, to announce the first overall pick. A lifelong fan of the Toronto Maple Leafs, Bieber expressed his excitement from the draft floor, stating, "What an incredible night. The child in me is ecstatic right now.
I've been a Leafs fan since I was just a little boy.
" Bieber's recent visibility follows his performances at the 2026 Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival and the release of his album "SWAG LIFE FROM COACHELLA (WEEKEND2). " However, his activities have not been without incident. In November, the singer, then 31, endured a painful injury from a Onewheel electric skateboard accident, which he described during a Twitch livestream as causing severe rib pain.
"My rib hurts so f**king bad, bro," he said, adding the injury was "f**king with" him. The Fanatics Fest also generated controversy. Logged footage showed NFL legend Tom Brady slapping WWE superstar Logan Paul during an altercation. Paul later claimed on Instagram that he was suing Brady and stated that Brady, as the "goat," "should be doing dope s***.
" The WWE star threatened to "hurt" Brady if he returned the next year, prompting the slap. Meanwhile, Bieber's support for the Toronto Maple Leafs was critiqued by former player Carlo Colaiacovo. After Bieber appeared behind the Leafs bench during their Game 7 Eastern Conference semifinals against the Florida Panthers, Colaiacvo, who played for the team from 2002 to 2009, reacted to the celebrity fan's presence.
