Justin Bieber is in the news again after he asked his fans on Instagram to come forward if they wanted to collaborate on a new song with him. He dropped an offer to contact him directly through the DMs. Soon after this post, several users tried to contact Bieber. However, the Internet was baffled when Drake expressed interest!
Drake jokingly commented on Justin Bieber’s Instagram:
"I DMed but got no reply".
Needless to say, this post has caught everyone's attention, especially among hip-hop and pop fans. Soon, the X commentators bifurcated into groups, parties poking fun at one another. While many sided with Beiber, Drake fans mocked the former’s post.

Netizens highlighted the playful and sometimes competitive nature of celebrity banter. However, sometimes the harmless roasts transcend the posts to stir rivalry among fans.
These "kinds of beef" between artists are more about teasing and creating buzz than actual conflict. @MB_cali commented:
"OVHO’s bout to flip on Beiber now that’s Canadian beef, I give zero f***s."
@Charvdo assumed that it was a desperate attempt for artists to engage in posting a collab request on Instagram or for another artist to express interest on the same platform:
"Holy desperation."
Nowadays, it is almost impossible to mention Drake without Kendrick Lamar crossing minds. @ThatsQueenBritt suggested:
"Kendrick has the opportunity to do the funniest thing rn."
@MediaLiarz poked fun at Drake's attempt at finding friends in the industry after the Not Like Us fiasco.
"He's begging for friends. Down BAD."
Sometimes celebrity photos just don’t land the way they’re meant to. @mikexil remarked:
"This might be the worst photo of them together lmfao."
Despite all the playful back-and-forth and drama, JB and Drake together could still make a hit, according to @Spicyyysebas:
"I ain’t gon lie JB and Drake could still make a banger. With all the great producers out rn you can still make a hit with these 2."
Collaboration often unlocks a new horizon for artists, and pop/ hip-hop icons in an industry that thrives on networking and close knits. A collaboration between big names like Drake and Justin Bieber can turn out to be one of the most iconic music videos, as per fan speculations.
This unconventional interaction between Drake and Justin Bieber will probably become a new story in the music industry's memory. Several fans hope that they will work together, but for now, their funny conversations and social media comments keep fans engaged.
