The London rapper Tinie Tempah will join him for a performance of Drummer Boy, a song the young artist originally recorded with Busta Rhymes on the holiday album.

Since the television special is for a British TV channel, the producers asked for an English star is included in the program. Tinie Tempah, one of the most popular rappers in England, was the logical choice. The duo recorded a remix of their song.

Tempah Tweeted later, “Just done something Incredible!”

Bieber has made no secret of his acting ambitions, having appeared on hit TV series CSI: Crime Scene Investigation earlier this year, and of course starring in his own hit concert movie Never Say Never and music videos. The YouTube star confirmed his plans to MTV: “Hopefully, next summer I can start on a movie or something. We’re working on the script right now.”
