Justin Bieber paid a warm visit to Nigerian-British singer Odeal during the latter’s Los Angeles stop at The Roxy, offering public admiration and encouragement after catching his show.

The pair appear together in a new entry from Odeal’s The Shows That Saved Me tour vlog series, uploaded to YouTube on Oct. 24. In the clip, Odeal plays an unreleased track for Bieber, who responds by saying the music brought him a surge of inspiration and that he deeply respects Odeal’s artistry.

Bieber attended Odeal’s Oct. 14 performance and later praised the set backstage, describing the evening as flawless and telling Odeal how moved he was by the performance. He also complimented the singer’s effortless style and stage presence.

Earlier this year Bieber gave Odeal a notable endorsement by featuring Odeal’s song “Blame U” from the 2024 EP Lustropolis in multiple Instagram Stories and posts — a moment Odeal later acknowledged as meaningful during a September interview with Billboard.

Odeal’s The Shows That Saved Me tour continues with an Oct. 28 date at the House of Blues in Chicago and a Nov. 2 stop at the Buckhead Theatre in Atlanta.
