Justin Bieber, the pop sensation behind chart-blazers like ‘Baby,’ ‘Despacito,’ and ‘What Do You Mean?’, has recently been basking in domestic bliss with Hailey Bieber as the couple embrace parenthood. However, just as his ex, Selena Gomez, dropped ‘I Said I Love You First’ alongside her fiancé Benny Blanco, Bieber seems to have caught the collaboration bug again. Whether it is creative coincidence or cosmic timing, the pop prince’s radar for new music partners is suddenly buzzing again.
The first knock on Justin Bieber’s metaphorical studio door came from none other than resident roast victim Drake. But his cheeky Instagram comment—“I DM’d but no reply”

Instead of hyping excitement, his words triggered eye-rolls across the internet. Let us just say—fans were not exactly applauding this comeback cameo.
