Justin Bieber the rapper?

Pop star Justin Bieber has teamed up with R&B crooner Chris Brown again, this time trying his skills at rap as he features on Brown’s first mixtape, Boy in Detention.

Performing under his MC moniker Shawty Mane – which he previously busted out in a Twitter video posted last year – Bieber spits some rhymes on the track Ladies Love Me. Rapping alongside Brown, the teen star swaps verses with the R&B performer over a sample of their previous collab Look at Me Now.

"Did a lil something on the upcoming @chrisbrown mixtape. Ladies love me," Bieber wrote on Twitter last week.

Despite receiving some positive reviews for his efforts at rapping, the young singer insists he has no plans to change genres: "I just do it for fun, but nothing serious. I don’t think people would take me seriously if I came out with, like, a rap album," he told XXL Magazine.

Boy in Detention is currently streaming on YouTube. Fans can listen to Bieber’s latest foray into rap here.
