Much like hip hop artist Drake, Justin Bieber has often been criticized online for being a bandwagon sports fan, or someone without loyalty to a single franchise.
The 23-year-old “Love Yourself” singer has donned many team jerseys and expressed his alliance to multiple sports franchises over the years.
Bieber got into hot water after posting a photo of himself wearing a Pittsburg Penguins Jersey during Game 1 of the National Hockey League’s (NHL) Stanley Cup Finals.
The pop star, who hails from Ontario, Canada, has famously represented his home team Toronto Maple Leafs in the past.
After receiving hate from Twitter users, Bieber admitted to being a bandwagon fan and took time to explain why being one isn’t such a bad thing at all.
I support all sports I’ll put ANY jersey from ANY pro team if I’m whack for wearing jerseys they give me out of love then I’m Whack

He even confessed to having little knowledge of sports but said he enjoys cheering for all major league teams.
