Kanye then suggested they work together, writing: "I'm honored that you like my Music @justinbieber !! You gotta hear the album. Maybe we can do something together. Me, You and (Wu Tang member) Raekwon."

An impressed Justin responded: “Me, u, and the chef 2gether on a song = EPIC. Might sound crazy 2 u but even having this convo is living the dream. Thanks.”

Busy Kanye also spent the weekend telling his 670,000 followers how much he loves music by La Roux and M.I.A.

And he revealed that he had Mos Def, Swizz Beatz and Nicki Minaj visiting his studio to contribute to his forthcoming fifth album.

Cult folk act Bon Iver has also been working with Yeezy. He told Pitchfork that he’d contributed to “at least ten songs” that the rapper’s been working on including one that samples his own acapella track Woods.

Bon Iver- whose real name is Justin Vernon- explained: “I was literally in the back room rolling a spliff with Rick Ross talking about what to do on the next part of a song.

“It was astonishing. Kanye came back and was like, 'Look at you two guys. This is the craziest studio in the Western world right now!’”
