Do fans want to see Drake and Justin Bieber reunite for a new collaboration? Well, on Sunday, April 6th, the “Sorry” singer posted an Instagram carousel of three nondescript images and a dark selfie, with an Instagram caption that read: “Dm me if u wanna make music together” via PEOPLE.
Several fans of the pop star eagerly responded, and fellow musicians offered up their names, including Drake. The rapper replied in the comments: “I DM’d but no reply.”
Despite Drake’s comment, Bieber did not directly respond to his comment or the other musicians who commented, including Big Sean, Kehlani, Jaden Smith and country star Bailey Zimmerman.
The comment quickly went viral on social media and gained thousands of comments and likes. Several fans replied directly to Drake’s comment. One person wrote, “we better see a collab soon.” Meanwhile, other fans flocked to X. One user wrote, “Him and Drake on a song goes triple platinum btw.”
The Canadian musicians collaborated over a decade ago, in June 2012, on the song “Right Here,” which was on Bieber’s third studio album, Believe. The song hit its peak on the Billboard Hot 100, with the No. 95 slot in July 2012.
The social media interaction follows Drake’s recent single, “Nokia.” On Monday, March 31, he dropped the music video for his new song “Nokia” from the Some Sexy Songs 4 U album — his collaboration with Partynextdoor.
In recent months, Bieber has continually hinted at the possibility of new music. In February, Bieber, who hasn’t released a solo studio album since Justice in 2021, teased music with a photo alongside collaborators making music on guitar, sound boards, laptops and microphones.
