The "Sorry" singer posted an Instagram carousel of three nondescript images and a dark selfie, with an Instagram caption that read: "Dm me if u wanna make music together."

While several fans of the pop star eagerly responded, fellow musicians offered up their names including Drake.

The 38-year-old rapper replied in the comments: "I DM'd but no reply."

Despite Drake's public comment, Bieber did not directly respond to his comment or the other musicians who commented, including Big Sean, Kehlani, Jaden Smith and country star Bailey Zimmerman, reports people.com.

The comment quickly went viral on social media and gained thousands of comments and 41,900 likes.

Several fans replied directly to Drake's comment. One person wrote, "we better see a collab soon."

Meanwhile, other fans took to X, formerly called Twitter. One user wrote, "Him and Drake on a song goes triple platinum btw."

The two Canadian musicians collaborated over a decade ago, in June 2012, on the song "Right Here," which was on Bieber's third studio album, Believe. The song hit its peak on the Billboard Hot 100, with the No. 95 slot in July 2012.

In recent months, Bieber has continually hinted at the possibility of new music.

In February, Bieber, who hasn't released a solo studio album since Justice in 2021, teased music with a photo alongside collaborators making music on guitar, sound boards, laptops and microphones.

A new studio album for Bieber would make it his seventh since his 2010 debut, My World 2.0. This potential new music from the "Stay" singer would be some of his first since 2022 and 2023, when he and Don Toliver released their joint singles "Honest" and "Private Landing."

Kinda rude to ignore Drake like that, no? Even if you're not interested, at least acknowledge the man. They're both Canadian legends smh

Maybe Justin's just overwhelmed with DMs? Still, would love to see them work together again. Their styles have evolved so much since 2012.

Respectful criticism: This feels like manufactured drama. Both artists could easily text or call each other directly if they really wanted to collaborate.

The numbers don't lie - their last collab didn't even crack top 50. Maybe Justin's being strategic about his comeback 🤔

Can we talk about how Drake publicly called him out though? 😂 That's some next-level passive aggression. The Canadian cold shoulder is real!
