Drake and Justin Bieber have been teasing fans with hints of a possible collaboration, but things seem to be stuck in limbo for now.
Justin Bieber’s Invitation to Collaborate
Earlier this week, Justin Bieber took to Instagram to send a cryptic message that had fans buzzing.
He posted a simple yet intriguing note: “DM me if u wanna make music together.”
Alongside the message were a series of blurry photos and moody black-and-white selfies, adding a mysterious vibe to the post.
The message quickly caught the attention of fans and artists alike, creating a storm of speculation about potential new music.
Among the responses, none was more notable than that of Drake, who cheekily commented, “I DM’d but no reply.”
Drake’s Public Plea for a Response
Drake’s comment sparked a flurry of reactions from fans, with many urging Bieber to respond to the rapper’s message.
One fan commented directly under Drake’s post, “We better see a collab soon!” while another fan tweeted, “A song featuring Drake and Bieber would go triple platinum.”
Despite the excitement, Bieber has yet to respond to Drake’s comment—or his direct message.
Other artists like Big Sean, Kehlani, and Jaden Smith also expressed interest in collaborating with Bieber, but none of them have received a reply either.
Fans are left wondering if there’s more to this silence.
Possible Tension Between the Two Stars
This isn’t the first time rumors of tension between Bieber and Drake have surfaced.
Earlier this year, Bieber reportedly unfollowed Drake on Instagram, part of a larger spree where he cut ties with several accounts.
Meanwhile, Drake continues to follow both Bieber and his wife, Hailey Baldwin.
Could this social media move be a sign of tension between the two Canadian megastars? Neither artist has commented on the situation, leaving fans to speculate.
A History of Successful Collaborations
Drake and Bieber share a longstanding musical relationship, dating back to their 2012 collaboration on the track Right Here, featured on Bieber’s Believe album.
The song was a modest hit, peaking at No. 95 on the Billboard Hot 100, but it remains a fan favorite.
Given their past success, fans have high hopes for a reunion between the two artists, hoping for another chart-topping track.
Why the Silence?
While Bieber remains silent about Drake’s outreach, fans have their own theories.
Some believe Bieber is simply overwhelmed by the flood of responses to his open invitation for collaboration.
Others think he’s playing coy, intentionally keeping fans in suspense to build anticipation.
Whatever the case, Drake hasn’t let the lack of a reply slow him down.
Drake’s Focus on Solo Success
Drake is keeping busy with his own projects, recently celebrating his track Nokia climbing to No. 3 on the Billboard Hot 100.
He’s still very much focused on his solo career and is not letting the lack of a Bieber collaboration hold him back.
The Buzz Continues in South Africa
Fans in South Africa are just as invested in this drama as audiences around the world.
Both Drake and Bieber have massive followings in the country, and their music often dominates streaming platforms.
A collaboration between these two artists would surely make waves in South Africa’s vibrant music scene, fueling even more anticipation.
The Wait for New Music
As fans continue to wait for any news on the collaboration, one thing is clear: the buzz around a potential track between Drake and Bieber is far from fading.
As one fan put it, “If they drop a track together, it’ll be an instant hit.”
Whether or not Bieber ever responds to Drake’s DM remains to be seen, but the excitement surrounding the possibility of a new collaboration is undeniable.
Fans are hoping that these two superstars will finally join forces to create something special.
