In footage from Odeal’s tour vlog, The Shows That Saved Me, Bieber is heard praising the performer’s style and stage presence, saying,

"Your swag is undeniably just the swaggiest, most swaggiest man alive, bro."

The two musicians were reportedly seen hanging out backstage, where Odeal played an unreleased track that the singer riffed along to. Bieber later told him,

"Y’all don’t understand how much inspiration you just brought in here. I really look up to you and admire you, bro."

According to Billboard, the moment highlighted the pop star's continued involvement with younger artists, something he's demonstrated before by sharing Odeal’s 2024 single Blame U on his social media earlier this year.
