Justin Bieber has never shied away from a good collaboration. At the ripe old age of 16, the singer has worked with everyone from Sean Kingston and Ludacris to Kanye West and Raekwon. Now it looks like he has found a new collaborator: Chris Brown tweeted that he and the Biebs plan to drop a joint song this weekend.
It's unclear whose album the song is for, but Brown seemed enthusiastic about the collabo. "ME and @justinbieber got a BANGER/SMASH record for all the fans out there at the top of the NEW YEAR!!!" Brown teased. "2011."
Bieber had hinted at a possible collabo with Brown back in October on his Twitter, sharing a thinly veiled message with his fans about a duet with the "Deuces" singer. "Kinda hyped rt now. for a new single teamed up with one of my friends and an artist I used to sing covers of on youtube. BIG RECORD. SMASH!!" He then tweeted a video of himself covering Brown's "With You."
After Brown's assault of then-girlfriend Rihanna, the singer hit a personal and professional low. But he seems to be making his way back into the spotlight, with Keri Hilson co-signing his return. "People are already putting [Brown] back in their good graces, 'cause they see his remorse," Hilson told MTV News. "And I know people are saying, 'Is he really a man? You have him on your album.' I mean, yeah. To me, a man is someone, you don't go backwards in life. You learn from your mistakes, and you don't do it again. You show remorse, and you move on. You move forward onto bigger and better things. That's a man trait."
Meanwhile, Bieber has been busy working on new music. MTV News recently caught up with him while he was hanging with Diddy in the studio, and both he and Rascal Flatts frontman Gary LeVox have confirmed that they're working on new music together for the pop star's 2011 album.
