The two megastars, both hailing from Canada, have enjoyed a close friendship for over a decade, yet recent social media exchanges have fans speculating whether there's a rift between them - or if they're simply sharing some light-hearted banter.

Bieber, the pop sensation behind hits like Baby, has been navigating a challenging period in his life, filled with both personal and professional stresses.

Amid ongoing health concerns following a series of frail public appearances and swirling divorce rumours with his wife Hailey following the recent birth of their son Jack Blues, the Sorry singer appears eager to make a comeback in the music world.

In a bid to reignite his artistic collaborations, Bieber posted a heartfelt invitation on social media, uaeing fans and fellow artists to reach out if they wished to create music together.
