Drake has revealed that he came close to collaborating with Justin Timberlake for his new album.
The singer attempted to secure recording studio time with the former N*SYNC star for his record Take Care, but was unable to due to Timberlake's busy acting schedule.
Drake told Billboard: "I mean I really wanted to work with Justin Timberlake on this project and we came so close man, so close.
"He's just super busy, and not in the music mindset right now as far as creating."
He continued: "The song was gonna be dope. It was solid - a solid little look. But he's so immersed in the acting thing, and I don't blame him, he's doing great at it.
"He was just like, 'I really want to work, I just can't do it right now. But we'll work as soon as I'm back in the studio'.
"So he gave me his word on that, so I'm looking forward to looking with him. Even just giving him some ideas, writing, him working with [producer Noah '40' Shebib], I think that would just sound crazy."
Drake's second album Take Care is available to buy now. The set includes collaborations with Rihanna, Nicki MInaj and Lil Wayne.
