R Kelly "I have worked with Justin Bieber"

R Kelly has confirmed rumours that he's worked with teen idol Justin Bieber on a new tune.

During an interview with Vibe magazine, the singer - who recently teamed up with Lady Gaga on ARTPOP tune Do What U Want - revealed he hit the studio with JB to record the track, which is expected to be released as part of Justin's #MusicMondays campaign.

Speaking of the 19-year old at a listening party for his new album Black Panties, R Kelly said: "I just did a song [with him].

"[Justin] just called me to do a song, and it's hot. He wanted to go and do some R&B stuff, so we got together and did that."

Justin has since posted a link to R Kelly's interview with Vibe, telling fans they can expect the due "next week".

R Kelly is due to unleash his Black Panties LP on December 10.
