Afro-R&B’s rising star Odeal and global pop heavyweight Justin Bieber recently sparked major buzz after being spotted together backstage at The Roxy in Los Angeles. The link-up follows months of mutual respect between the two as Bieber has previously shown love for Odeal’s sound, with fans speculating that a studio session might already be in the works. For the London-born, Nigerian-rooted artist, whose fusion of Afrobeats, soul, and alternative R&B has made waves from Lagos to London, a Bieber collaboration would mark another major crossover moment for African diasporic music. Whether it’s just good vibes or something brewing, the internet’s already calling it a global link-up we didn’t know we needed. #BillboardAfrica #TheHomeOfMusic #Odeal #JustinBieber
