It seems we have Justin Bieber to thank for Magic!, with frontman Nasri telling MTV News that the R&B bad boy encouraged him to be an artist.

The Rude singer - who penned a few tracks for JB's 2011 album My World 2.0 - revealed that he is still in touch with Biebs, also poking fun at his recent rebellious behaviour.

When asked about the 20-year old, Nasri stated: "I talked to Justin like yesterday… I’ve been talking to him a lot recently because we’re going to get back in soon and work whenever we can find time, our schedule is kind of crazy these days in Magic!

"He loves Rude and he is so happy and he always knew, he was always telling me in the studio, 'You’ve got to be an artist', (he's) very supportive. I mean he’s got the experience and he said 'It would suityou,you should do it'and he saw me in the studio working,writing and dancing around and he’s always like, 'You should be an artist'.

"He’s a great guy and an intuitive person, you know, he’s also a little bit of a rebel so I think that’s why we like Justin."

[related]When asked about his 'rebel' side, Nasri went on: "I don’t party I just have a different personality so I don’t know, from my standpoint it’s not something I know how to comment about. I just sit at home and watch Netflix, I’m a little more boring, my partying is on stage.

"I would say to anybody, just moderation to the world, but these guys are smart guys, a lot of it’s exaggerated."
