Diplo and Justin Bieber might be reuniting on a track with a sound that no one expected. During a recent interview with Fuse outside of the 2016 BRIT Awards, the EDM DJ shared details about a rap song the two created and the possibility of releasing it this summer.
On Wednesday (Feb. 24) Diplo and Major Lazer were spotted on the red carpet outside of the pop music award show, where the Biebs performed a medley of "Love Yourself" and "Sorry" inside. Diplo, who's real name is Thomas Wesley Pentz, revealed they've been cooking up some magic in the studio.
"We actually have a crazy track that we never put out with him, like a rap song, too, that you might see in the summer time," Diplo told Fuse.

In 2013, Mad Decent founder Diplo and OWSLA founder Skrillex joined forces to form DJ duo Jack Ü. After collaborating with the 21-year-old Canada native on the chart-topping single "Where Are Ü Now." The song became an instant hit with fans and went on to win a Grammy Award for Best Dance Recording earlier this month.
The lyrics and beat weren't the only thing attracting listeners to the song. The video also generated a lot of attention for the subliminal messages about Bieber's ex-girlfriend Selena Gomez hidden inside the visuals.
"He's busy," Diplo said. "He's gotta promote his album for a long time...He's gonna be busy for a while doing Purpose, which is a sick album."
Busy is right. Bieber is preparing to embark on his Purpose World Tour (his third worldwide tour) between March and July. He'll be hitting the stage in 58 cities, with the first stop kicking off in Seattle and concluding in New York City.
