Drake tried to reach out to Justin Bieber for a collaboration, but it looks like the Biebs left him on read
On Sunday, April 6, the pop star took to Instagram and instructed the artists from his 294 million followers to hit up his DM's if they want to make music together. Bieber received numerous messages from artists like Big Sean, Jaden Smith, Pi'erre Bourne and others. Drake also tried his luck in Bieber's DM's but he apparently didn't hear back.
"I DM’d but no reply," Drizzy wrote in the comment section of Bieber's post.
Drake and Justin Bieber worked together before. The Canadian native collaborated on "Right Here" from JB's 2012 album Believe. The song was written by Eric Bellinger and Hit-Boy, who also produced the record. Hit-Boy explained how both artists got the beat from him in an Instagram post last year.
“Crazy story for throwback thursday,” he wrote on Instagram. “This is a clip of justin bieber and drake working on a beat i produced for their song ‘right here.’ the funny thing is big sean and j cole had a song called ’24k of gold’ over the same beat and i had to choose who to give the beat to. that was TOUGH but sean being the solid dude he is told me to run it with bieber and drake cuz he knew it was a a1 look for me. salute to him for that ! i never even knew they caught a vibe to the second beat playing at the end i made that too. time flies.”
It's been over a decade since their first song together came out, but it looks like Drake is trying to recruit Bieber for his next album. Drizzy has been teasing the next phase of his career through cryptic social posts over the past few months. He's currently focused on the success of his smash hit "Nokia" from his and PARTYNEXTDOOR's joint album $ome $exy $ongs 4 U, but it's only a matter of time before he reveals the plans for his next move.
