Justin Bieber has revealed who he thinks the greatest rapper of all time is and his pick won’t surprise many fans.
On Instagram, Bieber uploaded screenshots from a FaceTime call with Lil Wayne.
Posting a picture of him dialling his “I’m the One” collaborator, Bieber wrote: “Checking in with the [goat emoji].”
Wayne also posted a screenshot of the video call on his social media and intimated that it had been an emotional chat with the oft controversial pop star.
Weezy wrote: “It’s a painful walk but we got each other [love heart emoji].”
Lil Wayne finally released Tha Carter VI today, five years after his last solo album and while it does not feature Bieber, it does feature some unusual guest artists, mainly U2 lead singer, Bono.
On the track, Wayne references his status as an elder statesman in Hip Hop, rapping: “I ain’t getting younger, but I’m getting better / No time to waste that’s another man’s treasure / They say every dog has hit day.”
While Bono, who has previously worked with Kendrick Lamar and Kanye West, sings: “The time of our lives / The time of our youth / We bow down to beauty and truth / These are the days.”
The 19 track project features an array of guest artists including 2 Chainz, Kodak Black, Machine Gun Kelly and Big Sean.
Tha Carter VI also features more eclectic artists such as opera singer Andrea Bocelli, country star Jelly Roll and Fugees legend Wyclef Jean.
Fans were hoping that Wayne was going to reunite with Drake and Nicki Minaj on the project but no song featuring the Young Money trio made the album.
