2016: the year in which a collaboration between reborn pop star Justin Bieber and Drake’s notorious, mustache-rocking dad (never) came to be.
Dennis Graham’s Instagram account—which now boasts over 120,000 followers, in case you were curious—enjoyed even more attention than usual when he posted a picture costarring none other than Biebs himself.
The image, shared in December, featured a caption (as seen above) that all but announced a song in the works with the Canadian singer. It took a few weeks, but Bieber has promptly put any rumors to rest.
“We’re not doing a collaboration,” Bieber said during an on-air interview with The Bert Show, which you can watch below. “But he’s a super nice guy. I actually met him at the Nice Guy restaurant in L.A.”
Maybe next year. Graham’s decades deep into music, so perhaps something worthwhile could arise from some shared studio time.
