We don’t know about you but "sidetracking on purpose" seems as though he’s afraid he might let something slip… and well, both the singers have new music slated for release in the very near future. Fans also likely noticed that Mendes already teased a collab on his upcoming album.And for what it’s worth, this famous friendship has been a long time coming. Over the past few years, fans often wondered if there was friction between the two stars, both on account of their careers and their dating history (cough cough, Hailey Bieber).[video_embed id='2041630']WATCH: Dan + Shay were least famous guests at Bieber's wedding.[/video_embed]In April 2019, when Mendes graced the cover of Observer Magazine with the title "Prince of Pop”, Bieber commented on the Instagram post saying, “Gonna have to break a few more records to dethrone my title there bud (Canadian voice)… but if you want we can play hockey for it but I heard your a real bender on the ice we could just drop the buckets and tilt for it.”A @ShawnMendes AND @justinbieber COLLAB?

Fans were quick to assume Bieber was throwing shade, but both singers chimed in to clarify that it was nothing but playful banter. Mendes even replied, “LOL any time any day you just let me know!!!!!!”The two were also recently featured in a video shared by Scooter Braun, which showed Mendes playing the piano while Bieber sang along with Tori Kelly.
And in case you still had doubts, Biebs and Mendes were also recently spotted at the same music studio, and they were both in attendance at Lucian Grange‘s Hollywood Walk of Fame star ceremony back in January. Did Biebs and Mendes just become best friends? We think so.View this post on Instagram
