  "account": "The annual Believe That Awards, a tongue-in-cheek event celebrating standout moments, cultural disruptors, and iconic achievements in sports and entertainment, saw Justin Bieber crowned as the 2026 White Boy of the Year. This marked a shift from last year's winner, Timothée Chalamet. Bieber, who couldn't attend the event, sent a video message accepting the award, expressing gratitude and acknowledging the influence of Black culture. The ceremony, hosted by NBA star Anthony Edwards, featured casual and playful moments, including Edwards eating dinner while presenting the prizes. Other notable winners included IShowSpeed for Creator of the Year, Timberwolves center Jaden McDaniels for Stood on Bidness, tennis champion Coco Gauff for Beauty and the Best, and rapper 50 Cent, who took home the Lifetime Achievement award.",
  "summary": "The second annual Believe That awards could have a more apt name this year.",
