Drake has revealed that he and Justin Timberlake intended to release a song together.

In an interview with Rap Radar, the rapper said he had wanted to work with the former N*Sync star for “a long time”.

"And we've recently talked about it, and I think we're going to make it happen,” he added.

Timberlake recently covered one of Drake's songs at a surprise gig in Las Vegas.

The singer also used the performance to play down recent reports that he was turning his back on singing, telling the crowd that when he comes back, “I'm gonna come harder.”

Meanwhile, Drake has announced details of his first UK tour, which will see the rapper play two dates in London next January.
