Drake and Justin Bieber have been close friends for over a decade, with their friendship dating back to 2010. However, recently Drake was left feeling disappointed after being ghosted by Justin on social media. The 31-year-old singer had put out a call for music collaborators, and it seemed like he received a flood of messages from other industry favorites. But unfortunately, Justin did not respond to Drake's direct message, despite the fact that the "God's Plan" hitmaker, who is also known by his Instagram handle champagnepapi, had over 50,000 likes on his comment about reaching out to Justin.
Among the other artists who threw their hat in the ring were Brazilian singer Veigh, "Blessings" rapper Big Sean, and Will Smith's 26-year-old son Jaden Smith. However, it was especially surprising that Justin did not respond to Drake's message, given that in 2013, Justin's longtime manager Scooter Braun had referred to Drake as a "big brother" to Justin, stating that the two had an extremely special relationship.
In 2010, Drake had even made an appearance in Justin's music video for "Baby," and the two had also performed together at the Indianapolis State Fair. They continued to collaborate, with Drake working behind the scenes on Justin's Journals project in 2013 and the two of them collaborating on Justin's song "Right Here" in 2012. Most recently, Justin appeared in DJ Khaled and Drake's 2020 track "Popstar," portraying Drake himself. This sent fans into a frenzy, with many expressing their excitement for a potential collaboration between the two talented Canadian artists.
However, Justin's recent social media activity has sparked concern among fans. The 26-year-old singer, who welcomed a baby boy named Jack with his wife Hailey Bieber in August 2024, has been posting some unusual content on his social media accounts. While some fans speculated that he may be going through a tough time, Justin shut down these rumors, stating that the constant speculation about his well-being was "exhausting."
In the midst of all this, Drake has announced that he will be performing at London's Wireless Festival in July this year. This news comes after a recent incident where Kendrick Lamar performed his diss track "Not Like Us" against Drake at the Super Bowl halftime show. The song, which won a Grammy, is now the subject of a potential libel case brought by Drake against Universal Music Group for defamation and harassment.
In the song, Kendrick Lamar makes a reference to Drake liking younger girls, and the "Certified Lover Boy" rapper has accused UMG of allowing the song to be published and promoted, thus spreading a false and malicious narrative about him being a pedophile. In response, UMG has filed to dismiss the case, calling it an illogical attempt to silence Kendrick's creative expression. The lyrics of the song go on to say that Drake is a "certified pedophile," which has caused quite a stir in the music industry.
It's not just about music collaborations and lawsuits for these two artists, as they also have a close personal relationship. In 2013, Justin's manager Scooter Braun had stated that Drake was like a big brother to Justin, and that Justin really looked up to him. This statement still holds true, as the two continue to support and collaborate with each other in their respective careers.
Despite the recent drama surrounding their social media interactions and the potential lawsuit, it is clear that Drake and Justin Bieber's friendship remains strong. And fans can't wait to see what these two talented Canadian artists will come up with next.
